PROBLEM:
After my new home was completed, I noticed mortar "smears" on the brick face. How can I remove these?
DESCRIPTION:
In the process of laying the brick, it is expected that mortar will inadvertently end up on the brick face. This fact creates the need for a thorough brick cleaning for all new construction. The pictures below depict two examples of mortar appearing on the face of the brick. Picture A. clearly shows a large area where the mortar was accidentally applied to the brick face. Picture B. is an example of an unclean brick wall.
EXAMPLE:

SOLUTION:
Clean the bricks with appropriate PROSOCO SURE KLEAN masonry cleaner. See reference table. This will remove the excess mortar.

Note: The type of cleaner selected is based on the type of brick to be cleaned.

Do Not Use Muriatic Acid!

Always test the solution on a test panel. Use per manufacturer's recommendation.
