      #3486096 - 05/09/2008 13:20

does anyone know how i can get the green algae (sp) off the bottom and sides of my tub trugs? I usually scrub them out most days in the field as they get disgusting quickly but suddently I cannot shift the green stuff! is there anything that I can safely put on them to get rid?? thankies in advance

I use one of those plastic scourers that you get for kitchen cleaning of pots and pans. They look like shredded metal ribons in a ball...but they clean them up like new.

The tablets you use to clan dentures are suppose to bring them up lovely if you fill them with water and drop a few in (haven't tried myself yet though).

Milton sterilising tablets like you would use for doing babies bottles should work. I've not used them on a tub trug but have on my plastic drinking bottle and brings them up beautifully

I get a washing up brush (from my kitchen) and scrub mine out and intermittently use Hibiscrub. Once used, the brush remains as a tubtrug brush.

An empty carrot bag the orange net one, works wonders. I clean all my buckets water drums etc with them. We get really bad limescale and green stuff in the drums in the fields, scrub then rinse clean.

I'm another fan of the good old milton tablets. They work brilliantly

I just give it a wipe with a sponge and it always takes every thing off.
