Title: Greenhouse floor is pebbles - how to clean?
Post by: reddytogarden on August 30, 2018, 12:05
I just inherited a greenhouse in the garden of the house I just bought and am going to clean it with Jeyes but the floor is pathway with two sides covered in pebbles - I guess previous owner put tomato bags on them.

How can I clean them? Just slosh some Jeyes about?!!

Words to live by  :D Alternative cleaning products are available but don't smell half as nice.  Give everywhere a good wetting and let it dry off.

hello if the area isn't to big you could use a power washer and riddle  putting gravel in riddle then power wash or there,s a product called  Algon I use it on the local church paths3 pints to a gallon water on then leave a couple of weeks then wash with a power washer the gravel will come up well in the church yard its left for mother nature to wash it off   Algon is available in 5 gallon drums direct from the manufacturer  jezza
