pressure washer 3500 image
Marko
I have been chipping for a week at the loose paint. About half of the house paint is painted on pretty solid.
Sandblasting, i am told, is too hard, messy to do.
A pressure washer, about 3500 psi, is another way but I have never done that.
Is there any chemical to put on the paint that will allow the paint to come off?
Answer
The only sure fire way that I'm aware of you already mentioned...sandblasting. And even then I've heard that it will not get all of the paint out of the little nooks and crannies of the brick. You would think that in this day and age that someone would have invented a chemical that would peel the paint off of brick, so I did a search and found the link bellow. It looks like it's a question and answer forum, and a couple people mentioned 2 different products that worked for them. Both said both products take time, but they will work.

What PSI to pressure wash red brick patio?
greglovern
We have a patio made from standard red bricks. Over the years it has become very dirty and doesn't come clean by squirting water on it from the garden hose.
I'm considering buying an inexpensive pressure washer. What PSI would I need for this job?

Another option would be to hire a mobile pressure washing company to clean it for you. Professionals should have years of experience and top of the line equipment that can get the job right in a fraction of the time it would take you. Our machines are big industrial units that use up to 300°F HOT water and steam at 3500 psi to clean grime, grease, spills, dirt, etc. from just about any surface. Cold water machines force you to use higher pressure and get closer with the wand, which can result in pitting out your bricks and leaving wand marks or "snail trails" if you use a 0° tip.
If you decide to go this route, get a couple estimates from a few local pressure washers and make sure they are going to use heat and have years of experience. The cost is probably worth it to save you the time and energy of buying/renting and then doing the job yourself. Most companies would probably give you a discounted rate if you agree to have it cleaned monthly, quarterly, or annually.
