 Brick cleaner - Ted

Update, Update .

Well, I cried Wolf on that one.
Decided to have a go at the problem today. Gathered a wire brush, some cloths and a selection of unguents from the workshop and approached the offending wall.
Thought I'd experiment first on the back, facing the house and then move on to the road side.
Started with the wire brush and it darn well brought it all off, apart from in rougher bits where it couldn't get.
Using a rag, I ' painted ' a few bricks with some dirty white spirit and a few with some old Colron wood dye of a brickish colour. Both killed any residual white. I'll monitor them for a while.
If it's nice tomorrow I'll use the wire brush in the angle grinder on the other side and do a little 'painting '

Looks like problem solved and probably non-existant anyway !

Bought a 6 x 4 shed from B&Q this morning. 20% discount today so £87. opted fpr delivery at £20 so it was still cheaper than the original price. We've got too much non-motoring stuff in the garage......" caravan awnings and aquarolls, etc. Folding chairs, garden furniture in winter and , with a new Grandbaby coming in June, there's a trolley and a car seat. It'll keep everything away from the workshop dust as well.
