Hey Dan Do you think lemon juice will work on stucco run off haze on brick The haze is high up so I can’t push broom it I was going to use a power washer extender to reach? If not - any suggestions?

If lemon juice works, I wonder if distilled vinegar would also do the trick?

Your tip using lemon juice really helped me out with brick mortar haze clean up on my chimney. My bricks are a very rough texture, so I need to repeat the lemon juice method about 3 times, with wire brushing in between, but it works well. I didn't want to do the acid method. Thanks again.

How old is the staining 10 years old? Or two days?

mortar is a combination of sand, cement, and lime. The staining is from the lime. Lime is a base. You can clean lime stains with any acid. Just as long as it's clear since you don't want to stain it with something else. Sprite, lemon juice, seltzer, baking soda, vinegar all work to some degree. BUY whatever is cheapest.

I would say it’s more salt stains as most modern mortar mixes don’t use lime. Efflorescence or the white staining is generally from the sand used in the mix that hasn’t had the salts removed properly

Had to Do an emergency brick step repair today 50 degrees so will take a while to dry…likely be back to winter cold here in cny sunday…i got residual all over otherwise mortar would turn to soup and never set in the cold…so am I screwed? Or just need a ton of lemon juice/vinegar come spring? Prefer not to use real strong acid
@Jositoooo7 ай бұрын
Seems like a good job for citric acid powder. I always keep a big bag around. You can mix it to whatever strength you want and use it anywhere you’d use lemon juice or vinegar for cleaning. A bag of a few pounds is the equivalent of dozens of jugs of vinegar or similar, but much cheaper and obviously easier to store. You can also use it for cooking - it’s the same powdery stuff you find on sour skittles and gummis!

If it bubbles it means it's lime mortar otherwise its portland so may not be effective for that but I'll try it. This isn't proper tuck pointing, but for some reason in the US you guys call it that
