Feature brick discoloured

Page 1 of 1
Hello!
We have used Contempo Madrid Blanco (Midland Brick) in our gas fireplace and other areas in the house. Some of the bricks have a yellow discolouration which is very visible. Can these be cleaned? Or do we insist they be replaced?

“Contempo Madrid is an imported product. Due to high density clay used, the moisture absorption rate is reduced when compared to locally manufactured clay brick products.”

hmmm id assume youll get hit with the "natural product therefore variation in colour etc" excuse. How bad are we talking? One could argue that if none of the displays or other installs of the brick show such discolouration or variations, then the ones you have are faulty/defective
