What's the best way to remove old plaster, mortar and cement render off old, fairly crumbly red bricks? I have recently taken down an old (non load bearing) wall as part of my basement refurb project. I now have a pile of nice old bricks which I plan to use in walls and paths in the garden - the next project! Trouble is I want to remove all the mess off them and not break them in the process.
Anyone any ideas?
