Default Best Way to Clean this?

My boys have one of these in the garden
http://www.activitytoysdirect.com/pr...productid=118a. It is
starting to get covered in a green algae type stuff, presumably due to it
being out in all weathers. What is the best way (and product) to clean it
with? I have a hose pipe and spray guns, a pressure washer and a scrubbing
brush!

Cheers

John

Ah. This one is easy. Dress the kids in nice clean white T shirts and
trousers and let them play on thing all day long and it'll be nice and clean
by the end of the day. As for the kids .... they'll enjoy themselves until
Her Indoors sees them !

Pressure wash it, as long as you can keep it from blowing away.

Pressure washer or soft scrubbing brush and bio washing liquid for the
legs, and tent cleaner for the, um, tent.

A google for tent cleaner produces several products of that name.


Call me suspicious, but I reckon its hard surface cleaner labelled 'tent
cleaner'.
