| have found cleaning the bricks with an all natural citrus based cleaner/degreser works well. They also make a sealer for the bricks after they have been cleaned to give them a soft shine and it will help keep them clean. If you can find this product called Mex made by UGL the company that makes DryLoc it works great to. |

| We use vinegar on our bricks and I think they look great... |

| I used a concrete cleaner with a very stiff brush, worked pretty good. But I liked the idea of vinegar, will try that next. |

| I use the foaming bathroom cleaner. (like Mr. Bubbles) I actually saw this on HG-TV show and it does work. I bought some cleaner last year at Lowe's and scrubbed and scrubbed above my fireplace and could not get rid of the soot. So back in the summer I saw them use this bathroom cleaner so I gave it a try. It was amazing. I actually just bought the store brand and it broke the soot down and it was just running down the brick. Pretty amazing. It didn't bother the brick at all. |
