Test it first

Before cleaning the entire wall, test the cleaning solution on a tiny area of the decorative bricks.

Remove some loose dirt and debris

Gently scrub the surface of your decorative bricks, removing any loose dirt, dust, or debris.

Apply the cleaning solution

Dip your brush or sponge into the cleaning mix and gently scrub the wall, using a circular motion.

Let the cleaning mix sit on the wall for a few minutes to allow it to penetrate better and break down the dirt.

Rinse with water

Fill a bucket with clean water and use it to rinse off the cleaning solution from the bricks.

Allow the bricks to dry

After cleaning, allow the decorative bricks to air dry completely.

Avoid walking on or placing objects on the wet bricks to prevent any damage.
