If your brick needs a glow-up, there are lots of things you can do besides painting it white. In addition to being a run-of-the-mill choice, painting brick can cause structural damage to your home ...

The water sometimes gets sprayed on my brick exterior. White stains appear. I’ve tried scrubbing with water and a water/acid mix. Nothing is working. What’s going on and how do I stop it?

What do you recommend as a way to remove the white spots without harming the fish? Assuming we are able to clean the brick, are there steps we should take to keep this from happening again?
