how to clean brickwork indoors without chemical

[TheClock]

I never like chemical bcs I got a lot of alergy, also the smell makes me dizzy. I got this nice brick wall at home that needs to be cleand. It's moldy and dirty bcs of the roof leaked above. I'm confused about how to clean brickwork indoors without chemicals. Anyone here have a suggestion?

for cleaning indoor brickwork without chemicals, you could try a natural approach. a mix of vinegar and water can work pretty well to clean mold and dirt. just dampen a cloth or sponge with the solution, scrub the brick, and rinse with water afterward. If the mold's stubborn, baking soda can help by sprinkling it on the damp brick, then scrubbing with a brush.

With your allergies it is super important to prevent those mold spores from spreading around when you clean. I learned that the hard way after a small leak in our old house. Using a good HEPA vacuum while you gently scrub and making sure the area stays really dry afterwards is a big help.

If mold's already growing, no offense, but that leak should've been fixed way earlier, it's not just a cleaning issue anymore, it's a health risk. Skipping chemicals is fine, but don't skip proper remediation.

I had to sort out similar concerns before a remodel, and getting a quick check through RCR Environmental made things way less stressful. They handled the testing fast and gave me clear paperwork so I didn’t get tripped up on rules later. If you’re already opening walls or planning demo, having that done ahead of time saves a ton of back and forth.
