Cleaning Newly Constructed Brick Homes and Walls – Acid Brick Washing
Mortar is an essential material and integral element in building; it provides your home with its foundation, strength and structure. Bricks can be easily used to quickly construct a vast array of buildings structures.
The process of laying bricks in the construction of homes is often undertaken at rapid speed. Unfortunately during this process, there are often excess smears of mortar and large collections of concrete, which have been left on the surfaces of the bricks after the walls have been constructed. After construction, it is a common industry practice for many builders to utilise the services of a professional acid brick cleaner. A brick cleaning contractor can efficiently remove excess concrete and mortar smears from the brick work after the surface has been constructed.
Acid brick washing is a specialised cleaning method capable of restoring bricks back to their original condition. Acid brick washing involves the application of precise amounts of a hazardous chemical called hydrochloric acid, used in conjunction with high pressure cleaning equipment.
Professional brick cleaning process
- The process beings with the initial step of scraping off excess concrete from the surface with a hard wire brush.
- Dependant on the condition of the surface various amounts of diluted hydrochloric acid are applied to the surface with a hard wire broom.
- To assist in the removal of excess concrete, the broom is used to agitate the applied acid.
- This process is completed by washing the surface with a high pressure cleaner.
- Chemicals are applied to the surface to neutralise the acidic chemicals.
A caution to all individuals attempting D-I-Y acid brick washing - Please acquire the advice of a professional contractor prior to undertaking the task, as incorrect cleaning techniques will cause damage to the integrity and structure of the wall.
