I wanna know how to clean bricks!

Hmm sounds odd but the wall we have in our garden splitting our garden in 2 is a brick wall, it has some slight green to it and i was wondering what the best thing to clean it with is without damaging it..will soapy water work?
Thanks

    Water and a hard brush would work but a jet wash would be much quicker unless the bricks are crumbling already...

    Thanks Tanith..so just water no soap of any kind? the bricks are very new as we have only owned the house just over a year and it's a new build so i would hope they are not crumbling!! We moved in in the winter though and haven't really touched it tbh other than mowing it so it just needs a bit of a scrub before it gets worse ready for the summer!.
    Thanks
  • Jet washer! I love mine it cleaned my patio of all the grot after 5 years.
  • I would second a pressure washer.. I have a boulder wall at the end of my garden which is orignal to the house.. Used the pressure washer last weekend and all shiny and new looking now.
