Brick is a great building material that adds timeless charm to a home or business, and while it may seem like a durable material like concrete, it actually is porous. Brick may hold up to certain abuse, but over time moisture and organic contaminants can damage the brick and ruin its appearance.
For this same reason, not all cleaning methods are appropriate for brick. Brick will not hold up against the thousands of pounds of water pressure from pressure washing. That’s why we recommend brick soft washing.
Soft washing is a safe, gentle, and effective cleaning method that kills organic matter and removes dirt without damaging the surface. The cleaning solutions used are eco-friendly, so you don’t have to worry about your yard or other outside elements coming into contact with the solutions used.
Why soft washing is best for brick:
Brick soft washing is designed to clean thoroughly while protecting the material.
The process:
- Apply cleaning solution to penetrate pores and kill algae/mold.
- Allow dwell time to break down organic matter.
- Rinse gently with low-pressure water.
Benefits include:
- Preserves mortar joints – No risk of blasting away material.
- Removes stains at the source – Not just on the surface.
- Improves curb appeal – Restores brick’s natural color.
- Extends life of brickwork – Protects against long-term deterioration.
Where brick soft washing works best:
- Home exteriors
- Patios
- Chimneys
- Walkways and retaining walls
- Commercial brick facades
