What to clean rotovator with to avoid club root?

Our site has a heavy duty rotovator that you can 'hire' for a nominal fee.

Apparently one bloke uses it on his plot (that has nothing but weeds on it) when he gets a warning but never cleans it!

He and the allotment committee are well aware that his plot has club root and his actions have passed it on to other plots!!! :evil:

My Mum and Dad want to borrow the rotovator but do not know what to clean it with before using it. They don't want to ruin their plot!! :?

Any advice for them?
(PS the thoughless bloke is being evicted at long last!!!)

I'd wash it down very well with Jeyes fluid.

I'd do the same.
It's about all you can do.....

Ditto. Hire shops do them.....About £35/weekend round here.

I doubt that Hire shops clean theirs, so would it be any different.
