I have a Husqvarna YTH24V42LS riding mower/tractor that I pulled out of the shed yesterday. I found that a large mouse nest had been built in the engine compartment over the winter. Removing the grass and other stuff that the nest was made of was easy enough, but there's a layer of caked on grime/droppings underneath that I want to get off. You can see some of it on the left side beside the flywheel. The smell is pretty bad, I can only imagine what it would be like if the engine got hot.
What would be the best way of cleaning this off? My wife thought a hose or our pressure sprayer would do it, but I can see the potential for problems spraying the engine off with a hose (much less a pressure sprayer.
