    Try powerwashing... Either hire someone to come and soap and spray down the house. Or you can do it yourself... Just get a good exterior powerwashing soap. Home Depot should carry that!

    Good Luck!

    mattfish11.......thanks for your reply.....

    The brick is faded I should add......Are there any chemicals/ process that would restore it to its origional color......

    I have applied a clear finish to bricks on the inside before that brought out their color. Not sure if you could use that on the outside? You could call a good, speciality paint store.

    You clean bricks with muratic acid.
    (must wear gloves & eye protection)
    Just brush it on , let stand 5- 15 minutes then wash with hose or power washer !
