Hello everyone.
Before I start grouting, I wanted to clean the facing bricks properly. I spoke with the bricklayer from the neighboring construction site and asked him what he used to clean the bricks.
He used a pressure washer with vinegar and oil. Can I really use that, or would it be better to use soft soap?

Let it sit for a few minutes, making sure it doesn’t dry out. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, always working from top to bottom.
After grouting the bricks, you can apply a sealant to enhance the color and reduce dirt buildup.
If you are dealing with real clinker bricks, sealing is not necessarily required. When grouting, make sure to work carefully to avoid small gaps forming.
