How do you clean a brick fireplace hearth?

We have a brick hearth on our fireplace.I have used hot soapy water and a brush to clean it in the past but it still doesn't look clean.It still has a greyish look to it from ashes.The brick are redish brown.The wall that the fireplace is on is entirely brick and the hearth looks like it doesn't even match the wall even though it is the same brick.How do I get the hearth clean?


Answer:
I wouldn't use muriatic acid here. That's not its appropriate use. If all else fails, try trisodium phosphate. It's sold in hardware stores as TSP. Follow the use and safety instructions on the label. It will clean the brick and help restore some of the original color.
