I wanted to know what I can do to make the brick on my house look better? The home was built in 1978 and I would like the brick to look like those homes that are 10 years old. You said power washing is not a good thing at http://www.millennialliving.com/Activities/Renovation/Stonework/Power-wa.... What options do I have to accomplish my goal?

Prosoco cleaners are a place to start

We have consulted some brick companies like Potomac Valley Brick. They think that Prosoco at ... makes some good products. Here are three products that I think you should look at.

Suggest you look over each one and select one. Read and follow the directions carefully and test (I repeat Test) a small portion on your brick that is out of sight. If that worked then consider doing the rest.
