Default removing plaster from bricks

We have had some rather bad plastering work done. Among other issues,
the plasterer managed to get plaster on some bricks which are supposed
to be left exposed as a feature wall. He said that once it was dry it
would brush off, but it has not.

Does anyone have any ideas for removing dried on plaster smears from
brickwork?

Thanks

Apparently, preasure washer will do it, not the silly B&Q things but a
power blaster machine from the hire shop. A knowledgable goy told me
this is how to sort mine out, but I ain't tried it yet .....
