Is there an effective way to remove the strange patterns left on a
painted
brick wall by ivy?
Yes
Intend to clean and repaint the wall in due course.
That's it.
Use a wire brush (by hand) , but it's very hard to get rid of every
bit, especially on old stone. Some of them will show through unless you
use a textured paint.
Is there anything wrong with just using a decent pressure washer ?
Yes - It's a waste of water, especially since we're warned to expect a
droughty winter.
Further, it may damage the brick surface, or the mortar, in a less than
strong wall.
