Mold on exterior brick
Brick is for the most part a maintenance-free home exterior but it can develop mold if it is in an area where it does not get sunlight or good air flow. Brick also can be used for sidewalks, steps and patios but again can develop mold which can become slippery when wet. If the brick is not cleaned annually or semi-annually, the mold will spread to other areas. Does this Spark an idea?
