Ivy and brickwork
 

After it growing for over 25 years I took down the ivy that had covered the
side wall of the garage. I am left with grey marks from where the ivy's
tentrills had stuck to the brick. The bricks are fairly textured.

Any ideas for cleaning it off?

Encouraging. Hate the faf of getting the damned thing out and the Vario
lance seems to have failed - but I have the one that does the swirling.

Thanks for the encouragement - I used the KArcher and it worked a treat. 30
mins and the wall looks like new.

Time gets rid of it. If you're in no rush, just forget it.

Dunno, neighbour of mine took some down a few years ago and you can still see all the marks. Might lend him my Karcher and see how it goes.

IME it takes about a year for the bulk of the stems to drop off. Bits remain for years more, but they do go. They're also friable after a year so I'd expect should be readily presure-off-able.
