muriatic acid
Hydrochloric, commercial grade
Muriatic acid is a commercial name for hydrochloric acid, especially in hardware and pool supply contexts.
It's used for cleaning masonry, etching concrete, adjusting pool pH, and removing rust or mineral deposits.
The term comes from the Latin word for brine, reflecting the acid's historical production from salt.
Use muriatic acid to clean the brick, but wear gloves and goggles.
