If you are refering to Aunty Mollies ground cherries then I am surprised you are having any trouble.
BEWARE They self-seed very easily....
I grew them in Manitoba the first year at my 2nd house....after 3yrs they were still coming up but had spread to my whole garden..
I used a heating pad...
I have used a pressure washer BUT BE WARNED the pressure can cut through the liner depending on the washer, the nozzel and how close you are to the liner when spraying. I put a couple of pinhole cuts in my old one this way.
I have also used a push style curling broom which worked really...
Hydrotron rocks is what I use in my bubblers indoors...

Cheers.
I grow indoors using both floros (40W tubes and CFL's) and two 400W HID's (mh and hps).
I grew lettus, cukes, zuccini,tomatoes, lettus, swiss chard, radishes, snap peas,spinach and a few others over the winter
