Cleaning?

just got the use of a free greenhouse yesterday and currently in the process of giving it a good clean. I have just covered the glass with jeyes glass cleaner. How long should i keep it on for? i'm sure i read on here yesterday that leaving it for 2 days would be really benefit it. do i need to leave it on as long as this?

 

Thanks Marley.
it's been on for a couple of hours now. so it should be ok to go and give in a good wash down now?

 

took your advice and went out and cleaned it and it worked magic. If a breeze is handy for getting it done quicker i could've left it for 30 seconds..I'm in the Highlands lol thanks for the advice. though i have has my first little disaster. while cleaning the glass slots, i dropped one arrgg lol

 

Can bleach be used to clean a greenhouse?

 

I can't see why not. I usually use Jeyes on mine (it has a concrete floor),but have also used bleach. I've often used bleach for cleaning plastic pots and trays and I also use a dilute solution for dunking begonia tubers before drying for winter storage.

As far as I recollect the active chemical in most domestic bleaches is sodium hypochlorate and this will turn into sodium chloride (salt) in the soil. So providing you don't saturate the soil you should be fine.

 

Cheers I am growing in buckets so should be fine then :gnthb:

 

Well I used bleach today to clean the gh. It is sparkling clean. Will be planting seeds in it tomorrow. Even the missus comented on how clean it looked.

 

just spent a very long day with Mrs Plantman removing glass from our 6 x 10 greenhouse, moving it 2ft, then cleaning and replacing glass....it wasn't much fun I wouldnt recomend it if your looking for a fun saturday.
