How do I prep bricks on fireplace opening for additional bricks?

The fireplace opening is 2″ too wide for the new doors I got for free. I bought bricks to add to the inside of each side. I did some reading, and know I need to soak the new and ancient bricks with water for a couple days so the mortar will adhere. What should I use to clean the ancient bricks first?
