Believe it or not, I used white vinegar and got the white substance off. I mixed equal part vinegar with water. Spray the solution on the bricks. Let it sit for a couple minutes brush it a little and rinse it off. That's it.

That makes sense. As far as I understand it's the acidic bit that does the work as mortar is alkali, so vinegar could be a nice cheap-possibly safer for people and animals-method.

Many would recommend wetting bricks FIRST before the acid.... especially if the bricks are very porous. Probably not needed for a brick that does not absorb water, and has a "shiny" / smooth surface.

There seams to be a centre long scuff or stain on every brick above the damp course. Is this a result of cleaing or design ?

Use 1/8 acid the less the better

I don't know where you get your acid... We are using the same, hydrochloric acid, I don't know why, it doesn't seem to do anything.

Why doesn’t it damage the mortar between the bricks?

@texascaliber9929 10 ай бұрын

The mortar in between the bricks is a very thick compressed layer. The mortar on the brick is thin

No mate , acid only to remove morter residue , for efflorescence you will need other chemical is called flurotech or lcr or efflock

No, you can't use Acid products on Indian Sandstone unless you are happy to see lots of iron oxidation. Your slabs can changed colour due to minerals (specially iron) and become orange/rusty coloured. Non acid product only.

Yep. You’re supposed to give them a quick wash and scrape off any mortar lumps. You want the acid cleaner working on stubborn shit, not loose stuff.

@AJ-ds5gf 3 ай бұрын

Makes absolutely no sense to wet the bricks first. All you're doing is diluting the acid when it goes on.

@@illmitchjax LOL no. Adding water just dilutes the acid.

@illmitchjax 3 ай бұрын

@@AJ-ds5gffor starters, you don't put brick acid on 'neat' anyway, it's meant to be diluted down to the amount specified on the bottle depending on usage and conditions. Secondly, a thin film of water on the substrate isn't going to notably dilute the acid... What it will do is prevent the acid being pulled into the brick by capillary action and potentially weakening the brick. You're only trying to remove mortar from the SURFACE of the brick...
