the best way if there pvc is a pressure washer on low but its a pain to get out and set up for 5 min.

i think with a brush you do a good job but without get every little bit of dirt out.

got to agree there!! they look ok from the ground, but there always seems to be a trace of dirt in the seams.

You can get into all of the curved shapes etc with it.
