Filthy. Just filthy. Years of overgrowth have rendered this fiberglass greenhouse useless. An hour of brush N' bleach brought about a minor porthole of light. We plan to overwinter vegetables and succulents, start the majority of our gardens, and try our hands at such tropical wonders as Plumeria. The moldy coating prevented any light necessary for such operations.
A few more nights of brushing yielded minimal results. A borrowed pressure washer - equipped with a low pressure 40 degree nozzle - easily peeled off the remainder of the grime.
Slight problem - the south facing side was already experiencing a dilapidation of fiberglass. Years of beating sun wore away the resin, and the pressure washer finished the job. A quick trip to the local co-op brought about some new resin. It worked well to coat the exposed glass. A future layer of poly urethane will sun-proof the coating.
