For those with terraces, gardens or outdoor courtyards, the arrival of spring means only one thing: domestic cleaning. Foliage, mud, mould and moss have taken possession of all external surfaces during
the winter. The ideal solution for cleaning the garden quickly and effortlessly is to use a domestic high-pressure cleaner. Thanks to a targeted jet, ad hoc equipment and great versatility, this power tool is the perfect ally for outdoor household cleaning.
How to clean the garden and external surfaces
Pathways, tiles, flower beds, vases, plastic furniture, low walls, railings, floors and walls: taking care of the exterior of your home is a time-consuming activity. All surfaces are different, as well as the materials and the types of dirt to clean.
Using a simple water hose does not remove the root problem and often turns the earth into slush, making the garden go back to start. Moreover, a low pressure water hose cannot eliminate the most aggressive and stubborn dirt. At the same time, using the perfect cleaner for each surface is a great waste of money and time, which also entails the risk of damaging the surface itself.
The ideal solution is the a high pressure cleaner, a complete, versatile tool that uses the power of a high-pressure water jet for a fast and targeted action, avoiding abrasive solutions. Using this product to clean your garden allows you to:
- Reduce the amount of water used by up to 70%;
- Use the same tool for all the surfaces which need cleaning;
- Limit the use of detergents, exploiting the pressure of the jet;
- Reduce the time spent and consequently the costs by up to 70%;
- Protect the surfaces, avoiding the use of abrasive tools.
Remove moss and mould quickly
One of the most important problems related to external domestic cleaning are moss and mould. In addition to ruining the aesthetics of the garden, this type of external dirt can cause serious long-term structural damage to walls, low walls and furniture.
To prevent this from happening, it is common to intervene with abrasive brushes, large quantities of detergents and just as much elbow grease. The result, however, is hardly satisfactory. The cleaned surface is discoloured or damaged and within a few weeks you will likely need to start cleaning again.
A better result, on the other hand, can be obtained thanks to the domestic high pressure cleaner. With its targeted jet it intervenes in depth on moss and mould, even cleaning porous materials without damaging them. Moreover, its ease and speed of use allow for a significant saving of time, making any second cleaning in the summer months easier. The surfaces will return to their natural colour again, which is highly satisfactory.
The surfaces will be clean, in excellent condition and you will have avoided major waste of water and effort.
How to use the high-pressure cleaner for external domestic cleaning
Unlike homes or offices, outdoor spaces are made up of many different surfaces. One of the advantages of cleaning the garden with a high-pressure cleaner is to be able to intervene with a single tool on walls, floors, plastic furniture, plaster and pots. The pressure of the jet can be in fact adjusted manually, ensuring a targeted and specific action. This allows, on the one hand to respect the surfaces and on the other hand to avoid unnecessary waste of water, respecting the environment.
Here are some tips on how to best use the high pressure cleaner:
- To clean plastic tables and chairs, a high pressure jet can be used;
- When working on enamelled pots or painted fences, it is preferable to try the casting on a hidden part. This will allow you to use the right power based on the surface you are going to clean, avoiding damage;
- Floors can also be cleaned at high pressure. By equipping your high pressure cleaner with the appropriate accessory you will get a better result: with the floor cleaning lance it is possible to work on larger surfaces such as tiled courtyards and walkways, but it can also be used on horizontal surfaces; the nozzle with fixed and narrow jet allows you to clean narrow spaces such as the curbs of flower beds and tile joints.
