Rust on red brick

[allesnick 14]

Customer has bad rust stains on his home. I read previous commments about this and have used oxallic acid before on my own home and it took some of the red pigmentation out of the brick and left it looking cloudy. It works great on concrete and wood and just about anything else, but I was wondering if there is anything else out there that is safe to use on red brick. The customer's house has these stains really bad and I would like to help him out.

Hey Al. Send me their info and take care of them. LOL

If you call Ecochem or prosoco (spelling)? they could help you.

I have some safe restore and sure kleen 6000 at the house if you if need to do a demo.

There's a product I used once during new construction on a 40 foot length building, that the backside was brick 3 foot high from the ground up.

It produced unbelievable results, if I could only remember the name. I'll try to find it, good luck in the mean time.

Try RustAid, its a mild blend of OX and another acid, I believe. I've never had it bleach out brick or stucco when rinsed. You can find i at Ace Hardware.
