Cleaning a wall
 

The previous owners seem to have liked ivy covered walls. I don't, so
what is the best way to remove the mess left behind:

Picking it off strand by strand will be a lot of work, a scraper will
probably do on the brickwork but the render looks more challenging.

Dead ivy removes itself. It takes a couple of years. A scraper on brickwork is not a great idea.

Blast it off with a pressure washer
IME it will eventually dry and fall off.

Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early
twenty-first centurys developed world went into hysterical panic over a
globally average temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and,
on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer
projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to
contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.

I've tried that. Two years later it's still there. How much longer
should I wait before buying a pressure washer?
