What to clean an old hen house with?

We have an old chicken ark that hasn't been used for about a year. It was bushed out before it went into storage but is looking a bit manky.
What is the best thing to clean it with before the new arrivals move in?

spray it with a bacterial disinfectant like virkon s, and give it a dose of poultry shield for any bugs.

I'd use jeyes fluid (but that's probably because I love the smell of it!) for the first clean, then some poultry shield a day or two before the girls are due to move in.
