Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

Customer asked me to do hers last year.
It'll be a ballache.
And, if it's a bit old, miss grows where the panes overlap.
It'll take forever and a day and it's just bit worth it for a greenhouse.

Yip agree with above. ^^^^^^

I've done about half a dozen in my time and every one is a pain.

Awkward angles of glass and they get covered in miss and it's baked on.

Only good if you price them high.

I've cleaned my greenhouse inside and out.  I didn't fanny about with it and it was empty at the time.  My suggestion is to arrange that the greenhouse is empty, that there's nothing too awkward with regards it's position (like it's not right up against a fence) and manage your customers expectations; to get it looking brand new you'd have to take it apart because of the overlapping glass panels, but it still can be cleaned to an okay standard.

Takes about 15 - 20 minutes for a standard 8x6 greenhouse wfp inside and out.  It's no hardship really.

If you do decide to do one then I wouldn't use a good brush. Have you seen how many sharp edges to those pains of glass. When I do mine I use an old bently brush with jets, it only cost me a couple of quid.
