    I think you'll find that B&M, if you've got one near you:dunno::snork:, John, sell the large tin for around £7, which is about the cheapest I've seen it.

      I think it was £5.99 for a litre in Aldi a couple of weeks ago.

        I think the small litre size are for House use rather than Green House, the 5 litre size is much more versatile and useful for cleaning out the Green House so if you see one that's the size you want/need.:snork::coffee:

          Autosmarrt the car valet suppliers do a very good APC (all purpose cleaner) it is dilutable and if mixed three parts water to one part product will cut through the muck that sticks to greenhouse glass with ease, it smells nicer than Jeyes fluid as well.

            The thing behind using Jeyes Fluid, Charlie, is that it's a really great disinfectant and germ killer and that's the main purpose rather than being a cleaner. I spray the Green House inside and outside with it and leave it for half an hour and then spray it off the glass and frames with clean water which leaves the glass sparkling.:dunno::snork:

              Please be careful using BLEACH and Detergent, when mixed it produces weak Phosgene gas
              and if you inhale a lot, you will damage your lungs, producing lots of mucus a chest infection that takes about six weeks to clear, but could be permanent KEEP THE DOORS OPEN

                Yay!! My local Aldi now have the 5l pressure sprayers for £7.99. I may get carried away with it tomorrow - as well as greenhouse, conservatory pvc is looking in need of a good blast. They also had plastic growhouses today.

                  They're very good value, JJ. I think I've had mine for 5 years or more and they all still work perfectly. The only advice I would give with them is not to leave the pump top screwed in after you've finished with it as it sometimes seizes up tight because of muck or drying liquid in the screw threads, and it's a heck of a job trying to unscrew it again:lolpt::phew::coffee:

                    Thank you, I'll make sure to do that. - Just been to Lidl.....they're £8.99 there so I like mine even more now.
