Many site managers and contractors think all brick cleaning acid is the same — but it’s not.The wrong acid doesn’t just save a few quid; it can ruin your brickwork, stain facades, and lead to expensive call-backs that wipe out any savings.
At National Brickwork Cleaning Ltd, we only use the correct 38% acid, applied safely and to British Standard BS 8221-1:2012.That means no shortcuts, no weak solutions, and no damage. Just professional cleaning — done properly.
💡 The Hidden Cost of Cheap Acid
Most low-cost cleaners use 18–20% generic acid or watered-down mixtures. It looks fine at first, but it doesn’t remove all mortar smears. Within weeks, the plots start showing:
White haze and staining
Patchy, uneven colour
Permanent surface damage
Then the builder gets called back, money gets wasted, and reputation takes a hit.
