Two types of pollutants
There are two major pollutants that can contaminate brick. On one hand, you have atmospheric, which is mostly carbon and lead. In brief carbon and lead often take quite a bit of time before you notice them. However, it is also the hardest of the two types to remove.
On the other hand, you have biologic, examples of this would be mold, mildew, pollen, Etc. Consequently, You can remove this from brick more easily. However, it does tend to come back much faster than biologic pollution contamination. Sometimes as fast as a year if the area or areas have the right conditions. Usually shady, damp areas where leaves or other vegetation is decomposing. So, for instance, the North and East sides of your home or building, or anyplace that has shade and moisture.

Back to carbon and lead. Carbon and lead are the contaminants that just doesn’t rinse free from brick. Possibly, because of its gradual increase adding layer upon layer. Also because it takes so long for it to be noticed, by the time you notice, it’s too late. Don’t blame yourself, it’s like age it just creeps up on you.
