Did you hire the pressure washer?

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

Went one better... borrowed my F-I-Ls! Only a B&Q Karcher job though, about
£100 I'd guess. I'm gonna buy one though, maybe a cheapy.
