up to woodies with you and buy a 5 litre weed sprayer then to lidl and buy a large bottle of bleach, dilute the bleach 50 /50 with water and spray it on the wall leave it over night and rinse of with hose should come up like new you will have to do it once a year buy a lot cheaper than painting it.;)
