Default Greenhouse Spring clean

The message
from "Bill P." contains these words:

My old G/H. is no problem it is wood and quite thick glass, so a scrubing
brush and bucket of warm water with a good dose of Jayes was just the job.
BUT my new G/H that I bought last year is one of those B&Q metal frame with
thin glass (hope it does not fall down ) ones. So I cannot be so energetic
in cleaning it ?
Problem? Any advice on the best way to clean and disinfect the said G/H.


Pressure-washer on a low setting - if available. If not, with
considerable care. (The alleged 'galvanising' on cheap frames sometimes
has a tenuous hold..)

Most pressure-washers have an additive reservoir, either on a spray
head, or in the line.

You can hire them quite cheaply if you haven't a friend or neighbour who
has one.
