Watered down Jeyes' fluid is recommended to wipe every surface, after clearing out everything and sweeping up spilt compost etc. You can clean between glass panes with a seed label (I haven't, but you could... :-) apparently) It's also important to wash all pots and seed trays before putting them away for next year. I confess to being lazy and washing them as I need them! (They are stored in the shed) Seriously, it was worth taking everything out of my greenhouse because I found several sneaky snails lurking on the exposed shelves! They were swiftly evicted!

I empty the greenhouse and wash down the aluminium shelving with washing-up liquid. I then use a pump sprayer to spray all the inside of the glass with diluted Jeyes Fluid. Makes the spiders run!
Leave for a few hours to let fumes disperse before putting any plants back inside
