I would find the HOA Presidents house and every board members house and submit every small infraction I could find... HOA have a place and serve a purpose but some run totally rogue and looks like you might be on the verge of a rogue one.
I strongly agree
WTF ever 🤔
Great video Bruh! I had to use some muriatic acid during a pressure washing job recently. The brick had a white haze due to the brick layer not cleaning the brick after laying them. I had to use straight acid.. no dilution. 10+ years of the haze being there. It came off a little but not life changing. Keep up the great work!
From a fellow DIY creator, great video! This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm in Georgia also and this red clay is no joke.
so this house i bought, the previous owner put beach pebbles all around the edge of the house. this way, when it rains, the red clay doesn't bounce back up and onto the house - which happens due to gutters that are full, or just super hard rains. at a point, i added more pebbles, but found that they would wash away. so i got bigger white beach pebbles which are fairly cheap. and that helps a lot.
Good video! Especially all the safety concerns! Thanks for posting!
Great Video BYD. I have added a Turbo Nozzle for my pressure washer inventory. Works great. The other thing to consider is a surface washer, although it is harder to use on walls. It really cuts down on the spray, though.
My man. Not only did I love your video I'm dying because I also don't like acid. Key is Baking Soda to neutralize the acid. Thanks you made me smile dont be drinking
Great tips here. Liked the safety info before getting down and dirty. A lot of people over look the simple things like open containers and long sleeve clothing. Great video BYD!
This is also a great way to clean a red brick fireplace 👍
I think some mulch and perhaps some hostas or other plants on the side of the house instead of more top soil would look real good. Just my thoughts
Nice to see people making videos. And don't take this as someone bashing. But just remember brick is absorbent and you need to and or good practice to wet the brick it does take more effort as brick can absorb a lot maybe say wet it 3 go rounds . But you don't want that brick sucking up and holding that acid cause it is some wicked stuff. Just know I watched the whole video and enjoyed it. Take care man
Great video, BYD! Done that before on my Alabama clay.
My HOA does nothing about folks who park there cars on the grassy medians in our neighborhood. People just killing the grass. Nor do they attempt to have meetings with the neighborhood or at least send out notices about people dropping trash in the area. Stuff that HOA should be doing.
There are certain common courtesies you do because you live in a neighborhood..... if you wish to park on the grass, have a barking dog at 2am, loud music, have 5 cars and 3 on blocks with 1 travel trailer a boat and a few trailers a neighborhood might not be the place for you....Missing cutting your grass for 2 weeks, missing getting your trash can for a day because it was raining hard or you were traveling on an overnight business trip, isn't stuff the HOA needs to concern themselves with....I wish mine would send letters to the inconsiderate neighbors who speed through the neighborhood....sorry for the rant
Thanks brother, I really needed this for tomorrow. I was going to buy NMD80, but that was going to take to long to arrive.
Thank you sir.
After watching this, my thought is that you didn't say enough about what Muriatic acid is and what it can do. Another name is HCl, or Hydrocloric acid. The container is not pure, but as-is, it will kill about anything. I pour a little on fire ant piles to wipe out the colony. It seems to kill anything that is alive. This acid will also dissolve concrete or mortar. Therefore if you spill it in your garage or on your driveway, not only do you have some deadly fumes floating around, but say goodbye to your concrete finish. Immediately.
I watched this video and note that you started with grass up growing against the brick. At the end, the acid had wiped out the first 6 inches of grass - nothing left. Did you see that? What's the point of cleaning clay from the brick when you are left with bare clay that will only splash up on the brick afterwards?
BYD, man, you got me hooked to your channel. I like your tried and exemplified, no BS approach.
Also I like you are right down the alley from me, SO I KNOW EVERY ONE OF YOUR ADVICE applies to my case.
Quick question: I know the Muriatic Acid is recommended by professional brick and concrete workers.
How would you think a mix of hot water, dawn/dish liquid and oxy/generic whitener would fare if you leave it for 10-15 minutes, use a stiff plastic brush than the pressure washer?
Also, did you see any vegetation burn-out from the acid?
Much appreciated and keep up the good work.
Tony t I wouldn’t mix, if do separate apps, better safe than sorry, no veggie burn 🔥 so far. 🙏🏾

Can this remove paint from bricks?
Exactly why I'd never buy a home where there is a HOA. They serve absolutely no purpose except to give the nosey annoying a-holes a way to mess with people.
Has anyone used this on liquid iron that was over sprayed on a brick house? Or know of anything that will remove the stain?
🤷🏾♂️
Thanks I need some good tips because I have white bricks and with Georgia Clay Good YT Video
Can this remove paint from the bricks I need your help ?!!
Exactly what I needed ByD. Thank you man.
No problem 👍🏾
Excellent job!
Thanks for the video! I'm in NC and we also have that lovely clay soil. I have stains on my 68-year-old brick house and will try this soon! BTW, do you think it would help to put down some cardboard on the ground against the house to minimize the damage to the topsoil? I am going to try that.
did it worked?
Nice job and nice brick work with lime pointing .. How old is the house?
6 years
Did the HOA say anything about your soon-to-be dead grass from using the acid?
Not at all but it rebounded like a champ 👍🏾
Does the muratic acid kill the vegetation around the house?
Great video, informative as usual!
Please don't forget that you do not add the water to the muriatic acid you add the muriatic acid to the water 😱👍
Good stuff! Love the content, new subscriber for sure!
Hey BYD, cool video. You have a nice pressure washer. Do you think it would get the mud off without using the acid?
Dillon Waggerman in my case it did not do a good job. This worked faster.
Brick and stucco/dryvit is so porous that it takes in a lot dirt and debris. I had a similar situation on an exterior cleaning job. The brick had a white haze from when the bricks and mortar were originally laid. The installer should have clean the brick the next day. Fast forward 10+ years later, no matter of water pressure would remove the stains. In fact, the pressure washer removed some mortar but not the stains. I had to use un-diluted muriatic acid. It made a difference but it did not remove all of the white haze.
Another helpful video
Will 👍🏾
Will the soil be messed up after you do that? If so, what do you do to correct it?
TLeacher if grass is damaged I’d add more topsoil after a week or two of rain 🌧 or irrigation. Once you add you fertilizer your grass should rebound. If hedges in area water 5-1o mins before you even start. No guarantee that you won’t have some damage though 👍🏾
thanks for the video, any issues with your grass that came in touch with the acid?
A slight issue. It seemed to comeback slow in that area, but having said that, it is shady on that side of lawn with the wall. 👍🏾
HOA is mad you made them take care of that weedy strip 😂
That’s the issue, they haven’t done anything yet.
I dig it. Great video!!
Good tips sir
nice , nice
can this be used on side walls of a house?
I’m not sure about that, the acid may damage the paint or the Vinyl 🤷🏾♂️
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral thankyou so much...
Did that kill your grass
Handy Manny I made that area thin and weak. I’ll either add top soil or plant 🌱 shrubs.
Any damage that it does to the grass will be temporary because the minerals in the dirt will buffer out the acid. It will only stay acidic for a short time once it hits dirt.
@@jn3083 Throwing some lime on it will speed it up.
BYD, Do you know if it’s ok for the Muriatic Acid to get on the grass without killing it? I have the same issue with the red clay on my Brick just want to make sure I don’t kill my grass in the process.
John B I’m not absolutely sure but if you doing it while you Lawn is dormant it will have time to spread by Stolon production. If your talking fescues you May have to reseed , but well worth it to get that mud off the brick 🧱

Thanks for your feedback going to Home Depot tomorrow, the Brick you cleaned looks good. Great Job
John B 🧱 👍🏾
Great video. Do you or would you do this for clients? What is a good contact number for you if you do?
No not houses anymore.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral ok thanks. I will ask the man who pressure washed my house to try it for me. Thanks again. 🙏😀
I will never have an HOA lol. Never.
