|
|
Last month I removed a trellis which used to support an ivy and a honeysuckle. Although I killed off the Ivy some years ago and removed most of it at that stage, quite a bit of dead stuff still clung to the wall and it has left nasty marks on the light yellow brickwork.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to clean these up without marking or damaging the concrete bricks? |

A powerwasher would probably be the best option |

There are acid based solutions that may help. Lots of elbow grease required though. Look into it. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want. I dug the rocks out of it with my bare hands and I made a living thing of it!”
