We will reply to your comment shortlyI have thin bricks applied to concrete patio nine years ago. Sealed them at that time. This week I have cleaned the bricks with white vinegar. Also where the sprinkler hits and caused hard water marks I also cleaned with Clorox and simple green. Finally felt satisfied to seal the bricks now. The bricks look good from one direction only. From the other direction they look white. I do not like it at all. Do you have any suggestions to retreat this?

We will reply to your comment shortlyHere’s a pc of my patio with brick pavers. I do not know what product the man used to seal the aggregate/bricks. Bricks turned milky white. We have had a lot of rain this spring. I do not have a power washer. Any recommendations to correct this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can try the A-1 Solvent. Just apply and let dry and see if that restores the shine and removes the white.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI used Round Up (extended use Round up) on weeds in my pavers. I know that I should not have, but I didn't know better. Now I have white marks all over the pavers. How can I remove them or will they (as I have read) fade over time?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNot sure what caused the white or if it is permanent or not. Depends on what the chemicals are and if it etched the pavers. If a residue just on top, then pressure washing should remove it. If it etched the surface, then it cannot be removed.
