Default Removing Ivy "Residue"

The message
from "shazzbat" contains these words:

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.
