CLEANING

The key to efficient, professional cleaning of masonry is the equipment used for the job. No matter how much quality goes into a masonry job, it must be clean when the owner inspects it, or all that hard work won't matter a bit. The key to efficient, professional cleaning of masonry is the equipment used for the job. Knowing what equipment to use and how to use it can assure you top results.

"When building a masonry building, it's kind of a messy job," says Gary Henry, business communications specialist for PROSOCO, which sells the chemicals used to clean masonry and offers recommendations as to how those cleaners need to be applied for the best results.

"In the construction process, you're going to get some dirt and mud on the building, as well as mortar smears and excess mortar where you're laying the masonry," he says. "All that stuff has to be cleaned off before the building is ready for the client, and it's going to take more than dish-washing detergent to get dried mortar off masonry."
