How can you remove rust off of brick?
+5
Our sprinkler system has sprayed well water on the side of our brick house and it is all rusty looking. Wondering if anything can be used to remove the rust.

Hi Julie, you can use oxalic acid. Just follow the directions and let the chemicals penetrate the brick before scrubbing off with a stiff scrub brush and then rinse with water from a garden hose.

This is an easy one! Buy lots of CLR. Put it in a spray bottle and concentrate on a small patch at a time. Don't get the bricks wet with water before you spray with CLR. Give it a few minutes to work and then hose it down. If you find it's being a little stubborn, use a stiff bristled brush on it and then rinse. Put a baffle behind that sprinkler or replace with a head that doesn't spray on the bricks. It's a lot easier to prevent it than it is to repair it.
Put a rabbits foot in your back pocket if this doesn't help.
