I'm keen to hear your views on removing the stubborn salt on bricks. I've left it unattended for year and it has become an ugly scene.

Would you recommend I use Muriatic acid , £55 for 5 litre Scrub

(I tried patio cleaners from screwfix. Useless)


Or invest in a Sand Blaster like:

I also have a Kracher and I've seen attachments for it but not sure if it's powerful enough.

Online , it says I need 80-100 PSI but guess my job, it requires less.


Which option you'd go for?

It's worse than the photos below.

Thank you

A bowl of warm, soapy water and a wire brush should do the trick on the wall.

I like the zen garden in front of house.
