This is one of my jobs for the summer. The best idea I've come up with so far is using the pressure washer on it, but I haven't tried it yet. Mine are the 8ft tubes so I think I should be able to reach it all by doing one end and then the other, but I'm not 100%! Apart from that, the only other idea I could think of was somehow soaking it all in something like a dustbin filled with hot water and soap, (flip it upside down to do both ends) and hoping it all comes away like that...
