Who wants to watch a video that shows you how to clean something and then the guy says why you might have to do this two or three times? There are plenty of videos that show you how to do it once and it's beautiful
Good information, thanks for sharing
You didn't mention the product you were using to clean efflorescence. Is this available in Britain?
thanks for the "how to." I might suggest taking before and after pictures and showing them at the end of each demonstration or at the end of the video.
Always helps
The National Brick Association, the makers of bricks, says never to use acid to wash or clean bricks. It can damage the color of your bricks and void your warranty.
Actually that depends on the brick and the type of hose nozzle you select for the task at hand.
If it is the correct type of brick and condition you can use the softer nozzle (uses less force) and keep fair distance away from the brick work which will be absolutely fine.
The National Brick Association were referring to close up full force type hose nozzles that would damage certain types of brick work.
I’ve been doing this for a living for 25 years pal so I think that qualifies me enough to speak on this.
What are the concentrations of tsp for red brick exterior walls?
A high pressure washer won't push dirt in deeper, but if you don't have a good cleaning solution, it won't clean that well unless you are using a commercial high pressure and temperature sprayer. If you decide to use a high temperature and pressure, you don't need any solutions. The temperature of these machines can reach about 250 F. This will dissolve anything, however you will need to ware the proper safety apparel, such as helmet, goggles, high temperature gloves, apron and boots. You would only do this if you have a large area to clean. If you are just doing your garage, driveway or barbecue, a regular pressure washer and solution will work fine.
Thank you. This was helpful
A few before and after comparisons would have been nice. Thanks
we have calcified water on our property and outside our house is brick. what should i use on hard water?
How long did that take to do?
would be been nice to see the results, good video thou.
How about the name or the brand of the efflorescence cleaner? That would make your video really really useful don’t you think?
I saw your comment and a two second Web search shows he used Artisan Efflorescence Remover. He most likely isn't being paid to endorse the vendor but is he!ping others with general tips so just be nice and appreciate his time and efforts.

Is that Martin Short?
t was difficult to hear the name(s) of the products.
I use hydrochloride acid for dark bricks use about 2 to 3 inches in a bucket fill it with water get a broom that will soak the acid and hold it in the bristles and put it strait on the wall leave it there for 5 to 8 minutes and go anout 10 to 15 metres aciding the wall at a time while leaving it the acid on the wall go straight away and start scraping when you've scraped it all off then wash it off then repeat on lighter bricks put 5 to 10 mil in the bucket and repeat as above if you put to much acid in it will stain the wall and bits of the lighter brick will turn green if it turns green not to worry just use chlorine as what you would use for a swimming pool put about 2 to 3 inches of chlorine and fill it up with water and repeat as a acid clean would be carried out.
Learn to use punctuation. This is one very long run-on sentence. It makes your writing easier to read, so that people understand your points better!
I'm goin out on limb here. I think you mean Hydrochloric acid. You need to be very Pacific with this stuff. Ppl will do anything
@@drnotebook . Yes , yes ,n yes. But how did you miss spelling errors?
How can I remove ivy tendrils from my brick home?

"Yo, cleaning up masonry..."
yo, bitches
Very good this thank you
I got some good info out of this video yes
Acids can destroy br8ck and concrete - Must saturate it with water 1st.
Got a Non-Acid Option?
Um...he did.
I disliked this video because he did not show a before and after.. how do we know if it worked on the brick??
Why do I want to get on a ladder a bunch of times?
Problem is you should always power wash your masonry lol. You telling me that chemical alone will clean it is absurd. I clean sky scrapers in Detroit to homes in the country all use power washer. Lime stone, brick, blue stone, tile, block, concrete. Same story different surface. 200* water and one restore will clean just about anything. I'd rather you tell the diy people leave it to a professional. You telling them they can buy dangerous chemicals to play with isn't smart nor safe. Example prosoco 1261 hard water remover will place you in the hospital for a week min if you get slashed with it. Please anyone reading this I say it for your protection call your local pro. They will agree with me lol
bassmann82187 All of the pros I called wanted to power wash my 150+ year old brick and mortar. So much for the pros in my area.
Can you clean off the calcium just with the power washer or you need something else??
If you make a living with a pressure washer, you're the last person to give advice because something went very wrong in your life to have such a shitty job.
Wait he dudnt show reveal
I'm scratching my head as to why you didn't clean the fire place smdh..
You said you were using a special product LOLif you're going to do a how to video you might want to tell the viewers the name of the product you're using! from the way the jug looks I was able to look it up and it is artisan efflorescence remover! It is a non acid solution. every review on home Depot and Lowe's website says this product does absolutely nothing! Or it took 5 and 6 applications at full strength. Maybe that's why we didn't get a before or after picture.
Bleach jell doesn't work.
I always love to fuck shit up by using the right tool, but for the wrong job ya know, fo shits n giggles, yo.
is this gonna kill ma plants?
so "how to" comprises buying proprietary cleaners and following the instructions on the label. Naturally these are items available in USA
sad, I was hoping for some info on what active ingredients to buy from generic sources, not overpriced "specialist" cleaners.
