Will Bleach / Water mix harm old brick foundation?
I have a few spots of mold on the interior of the foundation wall that I would like to clean away with a bleach / water mixture.
The foundation is older brick (red brick) and it is in good shape but I don't want to harm it. Will chlorine bleach harm the mortar or brick face? The foundation is about 70 years old, and is in about a %40-50 humidity environment.
The mold is from condensation I am sure as I have never seen water leaking from outside and drainage around the house is good. I would like to clear up that light moldy smell.
thanks
