How to Clean Moss Off of a Brick Wall

Moss can form on bricks fairly easily, especially in moist climates. While the moss-covered bricks are considered attractive by some, they can also be a very real hazard thanks to the moss's slippery nature. Moss is fairly simple to kill, thankfully, and requires only a few common household ingredients to put a permanent end to its encroachment.
