How To Clean Egg
Off a Brick Wall
In response to a number of requests from vandal-plagued owners and contractors, Allen Yorkdale, director of engineering and research for the Brick Institute of America, offers the following method of cleaning egg off a brick wall:

Use oxalic acid in a saturated solution prepared by taking the acid crystals and dissolving them in a jar of water. (Some crystals should remain at the bottom of the jar to provide a saturated solution.)

Dampen the wall, scrub on the oxalic acid with a bristle brush, let it sit for a brief time, then scrub again and rinse thoroughly. That, Yorkdale says, should do it.
