Hi,
After removing a ivy (climbing hydranga type with aerial roots) I'm
left with the furry grippers all over the brickwork. The ivy was removed
about 5 years ago and I thought the elements might clean it, but to no
avail.
Is the only solution a wire brush and elbow grease? The bricks and
mortar are in good order and the house is about 15 years old.



Removed a load recently using a pressure washer, held the lance about 2" off
the brickwork watching out for the pointing.

HTH
