I've just spent about 3 hours removing ivy from the front of my house. It
came down quite easily apart from the tendrils, which refuse to budge.

I've read a few suggestions regarding these and one mentions leaving them
to
dry out for a few weeks and scrubbing the wall down with a brush and
detergent. I'll give this a go, but out of curiosity does anybody have any
other suggestions.
Do not like them dry out; they will adher like cement. Spray them with a
detergent and scrub with a heavy duty plastic brush. Soaking with detergent
and then using a power washer works but do not use too strong a washer as
you might dislodge paint or mortar.
