Brick cleaning
« on: June 19, 2012, 09:01:06 pm »
Hi all

I have a customer who wants about 50m2 of bricks cleaned back to it's original state. It has been painted and what seems like whitewash on it.

Does anybody have any tips on how to get it off please?

Many Thais in advance

Nick

If its white wash youll need to grind it off. depends how thick it is. white wash is a pain in the ass and ive spent days grinding bricks because of it.

I would go the blasting route as we got involved a few years ago in a refurbishment of a project and part of it was was aboiut 440 M2 of internal garden courtyard brick walls with paint on them!  I treated all the walls with Aqua Mix Sealing & Coating Remover as they were covered in a gloss paint and then pressure washed them!  I then realised that the last 2 sets of internal garden walls had been painted with whitewash or emulsion!  It took longer to do those two garden walls than the other 20 put together!
