From the free quote to the final rinse, sidewalk & walkway cleaning for brick in your area follows a simple process: inspect, protect, clean, rinse and check. On brick, the method we use is low-pressure wash.
How we clean it
Cleaning solution: Soft wash for algae and mildew; a masonry-specific cleaner for efflorescence and mortar haze.
What to know about cleaning brick
Brick is tough, but the mortar joints are softer than the brick itself, and older soft-fired brick can pit. Organic growth comes off with a soft wash; mineral deposits such as efflorescence need a masonry-safe cleaner instead of more pressure.
Avoid: Zero-degree tips and close-range blasting that erode mortar joints, and strong acids on brick that hasn't been pre-wet.
How often: Every 2-3 years for most homes.
