Keep Them Dry
Water can cause bricks to expand, causing them to break more easily. Keep the exposed bricks dry by sealing off all potential points of water entry. Build plate roofs, install gutters, build chimneys, and repair any broken or leaky pipes. If you’re handy with a hammer, you can also just make use of some bricks to make a chimney if you have a stove or fireplace. You can also try to get a sturdier chimney by using bricks for the mortar.
Keep Them Clean
Bricks are a hard material to clean, especially if the bricks are in a wall that no longer has mortar. Bricks will get in the way of your vacuum cleaner and brush. This is why it is best to have them hand cleaned using a brick cleaning solution or even a brick-based scrubbing brush. If you don’t have access to a brick cleaning product, try to just use a mild detergent and a brush.
Keep Them Safe
It is also important to keep bricks dry and well maintained to prevent any accidents. If you must store hazardous materials, keep them at least 8 inches away from the bricks. Keep away from the water too since it may leak into the bricks and cause them to expand.
