I imagine you can just pressure wash brick no problem.
I've actually read that this is not a good idea unless you know there are no gaps/cracks/etc.
Pretty much have to fix all of those first or you risk pushing water between and behind the brick, or damaging any cracked mortar even more.
We have a brick home as well, and I pretty much just figured on using a giant arse brush and spend a nice Saturday working on it.

I did this at my old house when I was younger. Be very careful. I actually blasted the finish off the bricks and was left with red bricks 2 feet up from slab.

I have used a pressure washer in the past on our mailbox and pieces of mortar came off even without using the full pressure...
I'll look into Jomax....

We painted our house with a layer of Kilz primer before putting on a coat of paint over our break. Not sure if OP has just unpainted brick for their home.
