How to clean a beach shelter

[Tengu]

was given one of these but its a bit grubby

(as in `grow potatoes`)

how would I clean it? and is it even worth bothering with?

(says she who has not been for even a day trip to the seaside in many a year.)

Probably not what you are wanting to hear but I hear elbow grease is just the stuff for dirty beach shelters!

Hi Tengu,

Not sure about how to clean the beach shelter but Jon Pickett PM'd me to say you have a chisel or gouge that I might be interested in?

I can't seem to find the thread - have you got any info please?

Best regards,

Phil.

its a CHISEL not a GOUGE

Opps sorry - wrong information supplied to me by Jon Pickett - he wouldn't know a chisel from gourde

Will have a look at the link you provided - thanks Tengu :You_Rock_

Why not wash it in the sea itself, then as it dries it'll have a layer of salt left on it from the evaporated sea water....and this might come in useful to lick if you ever find yourself running low on salts.
You might even find it draws other animals in to have a lick too when used away from the beach....I've seen saltlicks in forests in Sweden and the US so you never know.

Cheers,

Bam.

Thats not a bad idea Bam. Then your beach front haven could be attracting all the wildlife for your viewing pleasure. You could then combine sunbathing and deer stalking in the same weekend.

Just i'd take the new advice regarding the measures against cancer and make sure you cover up well.


Failing that a good scrub with a brush and some environment friendly cleaner might do the trick.
