Useful ideas on cleaning tub trugs..................................

[lochpearl]

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

What about the stuff you use to clean fish tanks?????

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.

Never had fish cracklinrosie - please enlighten me!!!

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).

LOL!! I think I will have to put them on my online shopping list so no-one thinks I have falsies!!!!

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

Just had a wee search on the internet and white vinegar might do the trick!!!

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 use milton...slosh a bit in and leave for an hour. They come up like new.

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.
