Hello friends. Customer contacted me, said he needed acid wash. Said they tried usual pressure washer and brick stains did not come off. It is a new construction and he claims its a mud stains. What can be used on these mud stains? Will the usual SH house wash take em off? ![222088815_844923769497168_8169353364716970704_n](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/9/8/984d3a88d5c7d3d3135392a42a07c1a283327372.jpeg) ---

Yes acid, a normal housewash won’t do anything for those. You can go to the search function and type in mud stains or red clay stains and a ton of threads will pop up for more details about cleaning that ---

Rust or mud, an acid. I suggest f9 Efflo, one restore, even EBC has worked for Rick on red clay mud. I had tried scrub with a deck brush for these results ![image](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/8/c/8c988c7232b5d2cee46851c3bd39d403512eccc1.jpeg) ![image](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/c/5/c55685c24ebdc9f4e136ebe54b9c55402b57637b.jpeg) ---

Make sure to do a test spot before going to town. Acid can remove color from matetials. But I’m extra cautious about that at this point. I had better luck with onerestore than F9 efflo for mud stains on limestone. Efflo worked as well but took several more coats. ---

Restoreone is the only cleaning product that the national historical society recommends for limestone. As far as I am aware. So, I’m not suprised you had good results. ---

I have not tried it myself, but I have seen good results downstreaming hydrofluoric acid, for red clay. ---

One Restore is amazing on rust/oxidation. Used it yesterday on a bad metal planter stain.
