 Cleaning Brick Information

Bricks are made from clay and other materials which are formed into shapes then fired in a kiln to make them strong and durable. Red bricks contain large amounts of iron; yellow bricks contain little iron.

Interior bricks may be dusted with vacuum cleaner dusting attachments. Freshen periodically with commercial brick cleaner.

Make brick or stone fireplaces easier to clean by applying a finish of penetrating sealer which contains tung oil. This is moisture resistant and forms a tough coating which can be washed with soap and water.
