You can paint a coating of redoxide or green oxide. Red oxide is nothing
but oxidized iron (powder) and it looks nice and clean. If you feel
adventurous, you may try baked lime.

Subject: [cg] salvaged brick

Does anyone have environmentally friendly suggestions for how to keep old
bricks used in paving and edging for raised beds looking nice? Mine seem
to be plagued by moss and a sort of vague dusty coating that's hard to
get off and keep off (residue from hard water? or something else?) Thanks
for any ideas!
