Cleaning inside of large greenhouse

WCF

Help Support WCF:

It's not a 2 day job. The outside is between one and one and a half days, I blast over with the wfp connected to an outside tap and rinse with pure. The inside is 2 and a half days. It's all the bars that take so long, and on the outside there are sections where muck gets trapped and I need to blast away and flick it out.

Inside there is so much framing to wipe over, there are also two glass diving walls inside to be cleaned on both sides.

On the plus side, the tomatoes are the sweetest I've ever eaten and there's an orchard full of the best apples I've ever tasted. "Help yourself" was the message from the owner.

The house is fantastic, one of my best jobs £80 and takes just over an hour.

Greenhouse gets done twice a year.
This is the type of job a 45cm brush would save you hours. When you zoom in you get a better idea of the scale. Still would do it in stages. 2 and a half days doing internals would do my head in.

Why don’t you wfp the insides ?????

 
I didn't even consider it. Not sure how the owner will feel about all that water coming down inside the greenhouse. I might give it a go next time.
Ime assuming that it’s soil inside ??? Bit of water won’t hurt it , we softwashing some similar with hypo mix every year for a nursery it will kill any spores of algi or other bacterial diseases .

Concrete path through inside with waist high, rendered, brick built, white painted  raised beds. Back and dwarf walls are painted white and there's some painted steel worktops in there as well.

 
I finally have the job penned in for Wednesday ?? Thanks for all the advice i’ve had regarding best practice for cleaning this job. Quoted a decent price and customer was happy with it. If it looks decent enough il post some before/after pics ?

I’ve been asked to clean the inside of a large greenhouse. The sides obviously won’t present a problem, but how would I approach cleaning the inside of the roof? 

I use an SLX 22 for my normal work. Could i pole the inside?

Or would i need a large step ladder to clean the roof panels trad?

Any suggestions welcome! This is a first for me.

Hi

I did a one the same last year. Reach and wash the lot. Inside and out, use a degreaser first lightly then rinse rinse and rinse some more. Make sure all tge plants are out or coverd. The one we did was big. No wonder they pay to get them cleaned though have you seen the price of the good ones. You can buy a flat in gateshead for
