  • Greenhouse Cleaning!

    Well today is a dry day (apart from the odd spot of rain - so technically not a dry day - but this is Wales!) so I have started the task of cleaning out my greenhouse!

    Glass is coming up lovely with washing up liquid and warm water but what can I use on the floor? Its a concrete floor and has lots of algae on :-(

    Would appreciate any help! Thank you very much :-)

    My patio gets horrible black slime on it, very slippery.

    I scrub it with soda crystals diluted in hot soapy water

      Dont forget to use ***** fluid as well to kill off any bugs that might be lurking.

          You could always use a Sulphur Candle as well to kill the bugs. I would just use a stiff brush to get rid of algae on the floor with some water!

            I quite like the smell of ***** I wash everything in it, the wheelie bins, driveway, garage floor, greenhouse, chickens (coop), fence, walls etc

            I'd probably wash my little un in it, rather than change her nappies but I doubt the mrs would let me get away with that.

                I love the smell too. I just had visions of a load of damp chickens wandering around smelling of *****

                  I use 50/50 bleach and warm water. No scrubbing and a lovely clean floor, just leave the door open for a day to get rid of the pong.

                        My greenhouse hasn't been used for over a year so who knows what nasties lurk in the crevices!


                        Anyone know where I can get a sulphur candle?
