How vigorous do they mean?
I have one of those poor excuses for a greenhouse that's a mere 6ft x 2ft. I've had it a few years but never really cleaned it, just cleared it out.
However, this year it had a small amount of algae on the polycarbonate panels, so I decided to give it a proper "clean".
I have two of the four-tier mini greenhouse shelves inside (one either side of the door) and that's about all I can fit inside. They were both removed and I clambered inside - a feat when you're my size! I had a bucket full of soapy water and a deck scrubbing brush (longer bristles at one end). I started to scrub away, but it was clear pretty much straight away that I'd have to go gentle. The polycarb panels are only thin, so soon start to buckle and move under any amount of pressure. My scrubbing was therefore less vigorous than perhaps I should have been.
It looks clean now - cleaner than it was for sure, but I'd not consider it spotless.
Because it's sited about a foot away from the fence, I can't get to the back which has quite a bit of algae on, but only the outside.
Shelves all had a scrub down with the soapy water too before all being placed back inside to be left with the door open to dry off for the day.
Reckon I've done enough?
