This month the KG team tried out a range of products to help us in the battle against dirt and grime…
GLASS SQUEEGEE (BEST BUY)
The head consists of a soft, absorbent sponge which will wash away loose dirt and grime on your greenhouse glass. The other side of the sponge has a rubber blade for drying the glass after cleaning. To be used with a Spiral Flow Hose or Swoop Top Pole (both sold separately).

PRICE GUIDE: FROM £5.99
This is a labour-saving gadget, great for getting to those higher areas of the greenhouse. We liked the design with the drying blade on the reverse of the sponge. The pole is easily extendable and gives plenty of reach.

NETHER WALLOP TRADING www.netherwalloptrading.uk TEL: 01963 363 809
BEST FOR DESIGN – PRICE: £8.95
A seemingly simple but very effective cleaning tool. We particularly liked the way its curved design made it possible to get to those difficult-to-reach areas.
