What is Brick Cleaning?

Brick cleaning removes dirt, soot, algae, mildew, efflorescence, and other deposits from exterior brick and masonry. Because brick is porous, contaminants can settle into the surface instead of remaining only on top.

Cleaning pressure and product selection depend on brick hardness, age, mortar condition, and the type of buildup. Older or softer masonry can be damaged by aggressive cleaning, and deteriorated mortar may require repair. Efflorescence, paint, rust, and organic growth may also require different treatment methods.

What's Included in Brick Cleaning

Brick cleaning depends on brick hardness, mortar condition, and whether pollution, organic growth, or mineral deposits are the main issue. Common work includes:

  • Gentle cleaning methods matched to brick and mortar condition
  • Removal of organic growth on shaded brick faces
  • Attention to pollution film on street-facing walls
  • Care around windows, soft joints, and decorative masonry
  • Notes when repointing is needed before aggressive cleaning
  • Rinse control to protect landscaping
  • Optional sealing discussion after the brick dries
  • Test-area approach on sensitive or historic brick
