Power Washers—a Garden Godsend?

Tuesday, June 11th, 2024

The summer is here and whether we get weeks of sunshine or just a few days, in Ireland we savour every second of it we can. Thoughts turn to the garden, and on a nice sunny day, there’s no reason why you can’t work, dine, read, and play while catching some rays. However, a clean environment is a happy environment after months of minimal attention, your garden can suddenly become a less inviting place when you see all the dirt and debris that have built up during the ‘off-season’. Speaking of things that aren’t inviting, the prospect of getting down on your knees to scrub away the dirt must surely qualify. Not to worry. This is where hiring a Power Washer can be a godsend…

Keep your Patio Prim and Proper with a Pressure Washer

In the warm months, patios can be very much as much a living space as the inside of your home. Whether it be for family dinners, Friday evening drinks, or entertaining guests at the weekend, a well-kept patio can be very inviting but can quickly become less aesthetically pleasing if clutter and debris are allowed to accumulate. Once again, a Power Pressure can make light work of what might take an hour to tidy manually. Have guests arriving in an hour and need to clear the patio quickly before you set out the table? Just grab the Power Pressure and blast the dirt and debris away, from loose soil to animal droppings to brambles.

Blast Away Algae Growth with Power Washers 

Algae and moss growth can be a bugbear for proud garden owners. Imagine, your lawn is perfectly trimmed, and your flower beds are exquisite, but your otherwise perfect home and garden are blemished by green algae growth along the walls and patio. Manual scrubbing is strenuous and the algae is so stubborn that you’re really making any progress despite the effort. In such a situation, it’s well worth hiring a Power Washer to contend with your unwanted algae growth. A prior application of detergent and steady sweeping motion will see the algae blasted away in a fraction of the time it would take to scrub it off manually. It can be quite fun too.

Clean Garden Furniture with a Pressure Washer

As the summer arrives most of us are tempted to make use of our garden furniture, whether it’s for an al fresco dinner or a weekend afternoon spent reading a book. However, we often find that, having left our garden furniture exposed over the winter, it isn’t always the most appealing thing to look at by the time the weather warms up. Grime, dirt, and natural stains can accumulate during the colder months, and the idea of kneeling down and scrubbing it all away can be daunting. Yet again, a Power Washer can reduce this time-consuming, monotonous task from hours to just a few minutes. That’s more time to enjoy the sun and less spent on dealing with dirt.

Using a Power Washer is Often More Efficient Than Manual Cleaning

Not only does using a Power Washer save you time on manually scrubbing your patio, wall, or vehicle, but it can actually save on water usage too—it might surprise you to learn that manually washing a surface generally uses more water than Power Washing it.
