A small brick project for tomorrow

Hey guys, so I’m cleaning two small brick columns tomorrow for a family members. I’ve never cleaned brick so this is a good learning experience. I don’t expect it to be vary hard. I plan on hitting it with 3-4 percent SH, letting it dwell for 10 minute and than rinsing off. Am I forgetting anything? What pressure would you use ?

Turbo and two minutes later you’re done

You can hit brick with straight SH and you won’t hurt it. Turbo will work but SH will make it easier and I think it comes out cleaner.

William said it, turbo that sucker. Wear a face shield or at the very least, good eye protection and understand you’ll be picking grit out of your hair the rest of the day.:laughing:

I haven’t tried straight SH on brick, just 3-4%. The baked in dirt is tough to remove.

That’s a great before and after I would have maybe turboed that grass though. :+1:

Yeah I hit them with 25 degree tip and that’s what was left. They deserve to live after that.

It would’ve cleaned it up a little better. Still looks great though. Nice job!

Always charge treefiddy to family and friends…no matter what they ask. It’s all about setting the proper precedent :grimacing:
