Cleaning historic brick requires a gentle approach because old brick (typically produced before the 1920s) and its historic lime mortar are significantly softer and more porous than modern materials. Harsh cleaning methods can permanently destroy the brick’s outer protective skin (the fire skin) or dissolve the mortar, leading to severe water intrusion and structural spalling.

Soft Washing

When professionals clean historic brick using low pressure, the industry technique is known as soft washing. Rather than relying on physical force to blast away dirt, soft washing relies on specialized cleaning agents combined with high-volume, low-pressure water application to safely restore the masonry.

Standard soft washing followed by generous rinsing lifts algae, moss, lichens, and mildew without damaging historic brick or lime mortar.

Preserves Mortar Integrity: Soft washing prevents the blowout of soft, historic lime mortar joints.

Pressure Washing

Professionals use wide-angle fan nozzles (typically 40° or 65° fan nozzles) or low-pressure chemical nozzles (soap nozzles with large orifices) to disperse water gently across a wider surface area.

The nozzle is kept at least 12 to 18 inches away from the brick face. Zero-degree pinpoint nozzles (red nozzles) or high-pressure turbo nozzles should never touch historic masonry.
