Hello,

We have some bricks from an old building. It was
taken down 12 years ago. Cleaning bricks has been
difficult. We have tried scraping, while effective, it is very time consuming. We were told
about muratic acid and used 1 part acid and 10
parts water. It did not work like we anticipated.
How strong of a solution? Are there any other options?
