Had a new driveway installed last Fall. As always happens the contractor is GONE.Concrete was splashed on the bricks . Tried wire brush ,no good. Anyone able to help? Frank


Hi, Lots of slow work with chiesel? Tony

You might try muratic acid (pool supply). Test a spot first and be careful....good luck...Ross

Frank,

Not sure how bad the concrete was splashed on the brick, but I was able to use my pressure washer (3600psi) to remove concrete splattered on my brick. You have to be very careful as the pressure washer at this high a psi, will actually eat away at the concrete and brick.

If you don't have a pressure washer, I am sure you could rent one. Not sure if a lower pressure version will do the work, say

Or perhaps borrow/rent a small (2hp) air compressor and a pneumatic hand chisel.
