Cleaning and etching masonry, this 1-gallon muriatic acid is a strong acid solution that cleans and etches brick, stone, concrete, and other masonry surfaces, cutting through mortar smears, efflorescence, rust, and mineral stains that ordinary cleaners leave behind. Diluted with water and applied to the surface, it dissolves mortar haze off new brickwork, removes efflorescence and stains from concrete and stone, and etches smooth concrete to open the surface for paint, sealer, or coating to bond. A gallon treats a sizable area. Because it is a strong acid, it is used with proper ventilation, eye and skin protection, and careful dilution and rinsing. It is a professional-strength cleaner and etcher for masonry prep and cleanup.
