Cleaning Before Painting

Hi, I`m going to paint my 1950`s house soon. This will be my first time using a pressure washer. I want to clean the bricks (not painted), and remove some paint chips from the overhang. Also I want to remove paint from a concrete ramp. Is there any pretreatment chemical that wont harm the bricks and or concrete?
Thanks in advance!
