patterdale 675 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 hi folks can anyone give me some advice?just been given free of charge a 8x5 garden shed.this shed will not be used to house any animals only to store kids bikes paint tools etc.some time ago the previous owner did keep his working dogs in it.the shed at moment is in pieces in my garden,today i gave the base a good cleaning with hose pipe,brush,and bleach,and once it was touch dry i sanded it down with a electric drill and a wire brush attachment,came up a treat,when it is totaly dry i will give it a coat of cupronol.now for the question,is there anything on the market that i can buy to disinfect the inside of the shed?because my wife and kids will be using the shed more than me!or would i be better off just cleaning it with jeyes fluid or bleach and water just like the base?advice please Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurcher lass 9 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 mop bucket, two mugs of bleach, a decent squirt of fairy, two tabs or 3/4 mug of washing powder boil the kettle and add two kettle fills to the bucket, if theres some really difficult bits to shift microwave a lemon for 20 secs and add that to the mixture . . use a scrubbing brush and don't make the surface too damp or you'll damadge the wood,, make sure you dry the moisture before you leave it as it will pick up the dirt also frankly if that wont shift it i don't know what will, all the best Annemarie this is probably the most feminine thing i've said for a long while!!!

Acid (lemon) + a base (bleach) = Chlorine gas! Extremely poisonous & explosive! Be very careful what you mix with bleach, especially in a confined space such as a shed.
