Brick & Stone Cleaners

Brick and stone cleaning needs to be approached carefully because different materials and types of soiling respond differently to cleaning methods. Natural stone can be particularly sensitive, and an unsuitable treatment may damage the surface rather than improve it.

The type of soiling should also be identified before cleaning begins. General dirt and atmospheric staining are different from surface crusts, biological growth and other deposits. Biological soiling can include bacteria, algae, fungi and lichens.

Common physical cleaning methods include brushing, rubbing, washing and steam cleaning. Chemical methods may involve alkaline treatments, acidic treatments or organic solvents, depending on the surface and type of contamination. Other less common techniques can include laser cleaning, ultrasonic equipment, poultices and specially formulated gels. Not every method is suitable for every material, so the condition of the brick or stone should be assessed before treatment.

Cleaning Stone & Brickwork

For general staining on brick and stone, pressure washing and steam cleaning are commonly used methods. Hot-water cleaning can help loosen dirt and grime, which may allow lower pressure to be used. Care should be taken with brick, limestone, sandstone, concrete and other masonry to avoid damaging the surface.

Brick and stone cleaning contractors may offer services such as building cleaning, wall cleaning, pavement cleaning, driveway and patio cleaning, monument and statue cleaning, brick and block cleaning, pressure washing and algae removal.

If you are unsure what has caused the staining or deterioration, it may be safer to have the surface assessed before using a pressure washer or chemical cleaner, as the wrong method could cause further damage.
