Renee Seeling on Feb 18, 2015Try washing it with vinegar and baking soda. Then seal the brick again. I saw this tip on a Rehab Addict show. Worked great!Helpful Reply

Tammy McPherson on Feb 18, 2015Try cleaning it with Trisodium Phosphate. It can be used as a masonry cleaner and is very inexpensive. You should be able to get it at any home improvement store. Be sure to follow the directions on the package and also put down tarps or plastic to protect the area around the fireplace. If it still looks grungy, you may have to try muriatic acid.Helpful Reply
