Cleaning Tips For Plastic Greenhouse Windows?

To maintain a clean polycarbonate greenhouse, wash the glazing with soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using ammonia- or alcohol-based cleaning products as they can damage polycarbonate. Avoid using a dry cloth, as it may dislodge the panel. Regularly cleaning your greenhouse roof and windshields is essential for optimal photosynthesis and preventing pests and diseases.

For glass greenhouses, clean both sides of the glass to ensure optimal light and warmth for plants. Mix lukewarm water and mild soap in a bucket and use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the material. Ensure the detergent does not contain harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic, such as white spirits.

To clean polycarbonate sheets, mix a few drops of dish soap in a bucket of water and gently wash the polycarbonate sheets with warm water and liquid detergent. Use a long brush and hose on the jet setting to spray off the algae cleaner. A couple drops of Dawn dishwashing detergent to a gallon of water can also be used to clean poly windows.

To clean greenhouses, gutters, and water butts, remove plants, brush or vacuum the structural parts, and wash the glazing material inside and out. Make a cleaning solution by mixing dish soap with water in a spray bottle or using a commercial glass cleaner. Apply the cleaning solution to the glass and allow the glass to dry completely before re-applying it.

In summary, maintaining a clean polycarbonate greenhouse requires regular cleaning, removing algae, moss, and grime, and ensuring the proper maintenance of the greenhouse’s structure.
