5. What Are The Recommendations For Cleaning Brick Mortar Mastic From Bricks?

Every effort should be made to avoid smearing onto the surface of the brick. If the Brick Mortar Mastic does get smeared on the brick, it should be rubbed off immediately with a damp clean cloth or sponge. It is usually better to leave small globs of Mortar Mastic untouched and allow them to dry for a few hours. They may be readily picked or lifted off the surface with a thin knife edge.
