    HI Everyone,

    New member here, so be kind [​IMG] )

    I've recently pulled off a load of Ivy at the side of my garage.

    Its left lots of Ivy trails underneath it, that I cant seem to get rid of.

    Ive tried the powerwasher (that I use on the car), didnt work, and i've tried a wallpaper scrapper, didnt work.

    IS there anything down b&q you'd recommend for removing it before I paint it.

    Many thanks.

    Allison J

    If you leave them they will eventually dry and be able to brush off - but there is nothing faster that I know off, and it will still leave an uneven surface.

    Next time when clearing ivy - cut the stem, and then remove as it falls away.
