cleaning polytunnel
« on: October 22, 2012, 20:43 »
I got a PT two years ago but I have noticed that the cover is very green (like algea on it).  Plain water doesn't seem to be moving the green stuff off it and in fact looks to be making it worse as it seems to have spread it and I now have green streak marks.  Has anyone any suggestion what I can use to remove the green stuff and if possible to stop it coming back for a while.

I have just done mine with warm soapy water and the indoor broom as it has soft bristles. Blimey the difference it has made I can see out!!! (tunnel came with house).
Cleaned inside and out. Very top difficult to get at.

caravan supply places and truck stops etc often sell long handled telescopic soft bristled brushes that can if you want be connecetd to a hose -- that is what I use plus soapy water - inside is easier of course, can use a soft hand brush or a sponge but you can get a bit splashed
