If you are looking for an environmentally-friendly and non-corrosive mortar and brick cleaner, then BuildKleen is a great product for you. You can apply with a low-pressure sprayer, sponge, roller or brush and scrub thoroughly and leave for 15 minutes or so for the cleaning to take place; often needs more than one application.

A diesel pressure washer can help with stubborn or very old dirt and with removing the loose dirt after application, however, a garden hose can also help a good deal as rinsing is important. BuildKleen works using nano-technology energy packages this cleaning chemical penetrates deeply and dislodges algae, dirt and stains off mortar and brickwork by breaking the surface tension and lifting off the dirt – thus our expression ‘Cleans Not Kills’ because unlike biocides it does not kill anything and is pH neutral as well.

These nano-energy packages could be thought of as being like piranhas in the Amazon that are just milling around and waiting to attack and tear dirt away like piranhas would feed by tearing meat off the bones of their prey. A surface treated with this mortar and brick cleaner stays algae-free for longer and in our tests, natural stone absorbs rainwater in a more natural way that is almost like ‘breathing’.

BuildKleen is a pH-neutral masonry cleaner that contains:

• No biocides or bleach.
• No strong acids or alkalis.
• Certified as food-safe.
• No odours

Eco-friendly brick cleaners are becoming more common and BuildKleen is a good value example of this trend. It is effective as a limestone and sandstone masonry cleaner of dirt and algae as it is pH neutral. The perfect cleaner for stonework and stone statues on heritage or listed buildings with a combination of aggressive action while gentle and safe to handle and as run-off and ultra-safe food-grade safety for cleaning staff.

You will find council clients are delighted to hear of the steps you are taking to lower any chemical risks for masonry cleaning – for example near children’s play areas and it may help you win more tenders that you quote on for masonry cleaning.
