I have a lot of those red landscaping bricks that you can form a circle with and put around trees. They are nice when clean. But mine has been out for ten years and look dirty.

I've read to use soap and water and brush. But to be honest, thats a fricking lot of work in 95 degree heat and that also involves disassembling the "wall". I'm really not lazy but I know my back would be out a month if I lifted all those bricks. (chronic back issues).

I just want the "showing" part of the bricks to look new and nice. Any suggestions?

Pressure wash them in place.

Any particular "soap" included?

LINK

Get some sort of spray and rinse cleaner. I've used one similar to the one in that link. You will want to water around the areas before so any grass or plants don't get straight chemical on them as it can burn them out. Soak the grass and shrubs well, use a garden pump sprayer to spray it on, and it doesn't say you have to brush them but I have an old soft bristle brush that I used to wash cars with. Long handle, thick brush area, and it is almost like sweeping it rather than scrubbing it. Just to help it get foamy and sudsy, then rinse off with a hose with a tight nozzle or if you have one, a pressure washer. I use the fan tip on my pressure washer rather than the tighter one.
