Title: Help With Greenhouse Roof
Post by: Bungle on May 16, 2024, 06:49:29 pm: Just the one side needs cleaning. I had a go at it today and failed miserably. I sprayed it with Virosol and it didn't touch it. It doesn't matter if chemicals are used as the drain off is to the ground.

Hypo mix , smaller brush so you can apply more pressure and hot water

are there a lot trees around it ?

Hypo would be my next go to - unless its like a tree sap or you might want to use a large non scratch pad on a holder - bit like bronze wool

Try thick bleach boosted with hypo this may cling to glass for longer contact
