Cleaning New Masonry Buildings
Combinations of Materials Have Changed the Rules
Remember when guys worked on their car’s motors and changing spark plugs was easy? Then computers were added under the hood and things got way too complex. Same thing with cleaning masonry. Masonry buildings used to be easy to clean when they were constructed from one kind of masonry material. Then architects started designing facades with all sorts of masonry right next to each other. Suddenly, the art of cleaning got a lot more complicated. The rules for cleaning masonry have changed, so we thought we’d review them with you. Ignore them at the peril of your project’s budget.
