Cleaning Brickwork
Hi. I've recently bought a new house with red brick exterior.
However there is a lot of cement stuck to parts of the brickwork due to an untidy bricklayer. Is there any way I can clean the cement off the red brickwork using some sort of cleaner solution / wire brush etc? Thanks Craig |

Brick acid... designed for the job, from a builders merchant. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Here in SE London the reds are usually easy to clean with just a 4" scraper. A wire brush would ruin the surface. They're also very absorbent, and acid soaking into them wouldn't be a good idea. Then again, some of the other colours are like granite. |
