Brick flooring on a patio can be very beautiful. Sometimes, though, cleaning a brick floor can be quite exhausting. Learn how to properly care for brick flooring and prevent salt-buildup from occuring.
Things You'll Need
A Warm Sunny Day
Dishwashing Powdered Detergent
Water
Pail
Stiff-Bristled Scrub Brush
Garden Hose
Mop
Old Towel
Instructions
- Fill a bucket or pail with warm water. Add powdered dishwashing detergent to the water.
- Dunk the stiff-bristled scrub brush into the pail and begin scrubbing your brick flooring. This will prevent and eliminate white residue build-up on the surface of your bricks.
- Rinse your brick flooring with a garden hose once you've finished scrubbing.
- Use your mop to mop up excess water. Too much water can bring natural salts in bricks to the surface, thus causing a white film.
- Take an old towel and dry any remaining wet spots. Let the sun take care of the rest!
Tips & Warnings
- Never use soap on brick flooring, as it will leave deposits on the surface.
