    If a pressure washer won't do, maybe sandblasting, may have a nice effect.

    Is this an inside wall. A little fuzzy hear.

    One of the best ways to clean paint off a wall is a STEAM pressure washer. The rental store may have it.

    Its not a reg pressure washer.

    We use a spray stripper and steam off the paint. We do Sand bag for the stripper part. Steam is very aggressive and yet it won't tear up the brick.

    Sand blasting is a BIG NO NO. It has Sicla in the sand and very dangerous for health/cancer

    When I sand blast so to speak I use a product called 'Black Beauty" Its totally inert. The bag ha 0 fire hazard 0 reactively hazard 0 specific hazard and 0 heath hazard.

    I get it from a trucking business that paints tractor trailers. 100lb bags. Comes on '0" "00" "000" etc. Its slag and cuts like butter and slag has sharp edges to do so.

    A small version is a sandblasting kit from Campbell hausfeld for touch ups. Amazon.com: Campbell Hausfeld AT1251 30-Pound Capacity Sandblaster: Home Improvement

    Normally I use 100lb blasting pots with tow behind compressors.

    Walnet shells as a blasting media shouldn't harm the surface much.

    Pressure washing is the place to start.
