D. Expansion and Control joints: Refer to Division 4 Unit Masonry section for expansion and control joints.
3.05 CLEANING AND PROTECTION A. Cleaning:
	1. Good workmanship and job housekeeping practices shall be used to minimize the need for cleaning the masonry. Masonry wall should be dry brushed at end of each days work and also after final pointing and should be left clean and free from mortar droppings. Protect the base of the wall from mud splashes and mortar droppings, protect the wall by setting scaffolds so that mortar is not deflected onto the wall and at the end of each day set the scaffolding boards so that they do not deflect rainfall onto newly laid masonry. The masonry laying technique shall be such that mortar does not run down the face of the wall, or smear the masonry face, after the joints are tooled, cut off mortar tailings with the trowel and brush excess mortar burrs and dust from the face of the masonry. 2. If after using the above outlined techniques, additional cleaning of masonry is necessary, the technique, solutions and test area shall be approved by the owner, architect and manufacturer in writing. Wet masonry wall thoroughly with garden hose, apply cleaner with brush and scrub, rinse masonry wall thoroughly with garden hose. Clean the masonry only with an approved cleaning solution (Architectural Split Face use water or “Custom Masonry Cleaner”, Architectural Polished Face use water or “Burnished Masonry Cleaner”, Architectural Smooth Face use water or “Concrete Brick Cleaner”, Quik-Brik use water or “Concrete Brick Cleaner”). The solutions and the method of scraping shall be as outlined on the container by the manufacturer. Immediately after cleaning a small area, the masonry shall be rinsed thoroughly with quantities of water sufficient to rinse cleaning solution completely. DO NOT CLEAN WITH MURIATIC ACID, SANDBLAST OR HIGH PRESSURE WASHERS. High pressure water and sandblasting shall not be used for cleaning except with the recommendation of the manufacturer and the written approval of the architect and the owner.3. Remove temporary coverings and protection of adjacent work areas. Repair or replace damaged installed products. Remove construction debris from protected site and legally dispose of debris.
B. Protection: Protect installed product's finish surfaces from damage during construction.
