Cleaning Brick

Mar 08, 2006 3 Replies

I have an old fireplace in the house that needs cleaned. When I try to clean it with soap and water, it leaves a white haze on the bricks like cement dust that has dried. Anyone got any ideas on what to use. I am told that these bricks once were pavers on a street and were taken up about 50 years ago and used to make this fireplace. They are in good shape except for the dirt.



Thanks,

Try hot water and lots of ammonia, it helps cut the grease/soot better than soap. If you don't have to open the windows you are not using enough ammonia.
