3.4 CLEANING

4.A. Leave work areas clean at the end of each day.

4.B. Cut out defective mortar joints and holes in exposed masonry and re-point with mortar.

If cleaning the same or next day, wash down the wall with water and a brush. 4.C.3. Only as a last resort, chemical cleaners may be used, test inconspicuous area at least 20 square feet (2 square meters), allow to dry 3 to 7 days. Inspect to ensure the mortar is not softened, brick or mortar are not discolored, and cleaner does not bring salts to the surface of the brick. When a cleaning agent is required: 4.C.3.a. Follow brick manufacturers recommendations and BIA Technical Note 20. 4.C.3.b. Thoroughly wet surface of masonry. 4.C.3.c. Scrub with acceptable cleaning agent, avoiding mortar joints. 4.C.3.d. Wait time as suggested by manufacturer before rinsing with clear water. 4.C.3.e. Do small sections at a time. 4.C.3.f. Work from top to bottom, insuring that lower portion of wall is thoroughly wetted when cleaning the upper portion. 4.C.3.g.
