Having re-assembled and glazed my 12'x8' I'm having trouble seeing out due to algae, moss, lichen and sticky glue from a former reaident rose.
Greenhouse cleanser advice please.

Hello Peter - don't know if it's the right product or not, but we cleaned ours with Jeyes Fluid (diluted according to instructions on the tin), then just hosed off. It came up gleaming.

Each year I clean the greenhouse by spraying it with hot Jeyes fluid that creates a good fug. While it is like that I smoke it with a sulphur candle, leave it shut up for a week then wash it down. Might not be practical at this time of year if you've got autovents. By the way anything not stainless steel rusts with this regime.
If you have green on the outside of the glass go out on a rainy day with a long handled soft broom and a bucket of warm water with washing up liquid in and methodically clean each section starting at the top.You will find that the rain has pre-softened the algae and it's not difficult to get off,if you need to then rinse with clear water.
