Hi, I'm new to the forum and am doing a self build that involves using the old bricks from the property. They are covered in the old lime mortar, most of which luckily is quite soft. Can anyone advise me on a good way to clean these bricks as the thought of going at each of them with a bolster and lump hammer does not appeal! My latest thinking is to soak them in water for a week or so and then pressure wash them. Is this a good idea or a bad one? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
