Can I use the Water Broom with lawn mower decks?

Using a surface cleaner attachment from a pressure washer on a lawn mower deck is a potential cleaning solution, but its effectiveness and safety largely depend on specific circumstances. Here’s a breakdown of the factors you should consider:

1. Accessibility: The first thing to assess is whether you can comfortably and safely get under the mower deck. If the space is too tight or if the deck is too low to the ground, using a surface cleaner might be impractical or unsafe.
2. Amount of Grass Buildup: The efficiency of using a surface cleaner is also dependent on the amount of grass and debris built up under the deck. A light layer of grass clippings can easily be removed with a surface cleaner. However, if the buildup is very thick or has become compacted over time, the Water Broom may not be the best option.
3. Water Pressure Concerns: While pressure washers can effectively remove dirt and grass from a mower deck, too much pressure can damage paint, cause rusting by removing protective coatings, or even dent the metal deck. It’s important to use the correct pressure settings and to keep the nozzle at a safe distance from the surface of the deck.

For those able to access their mower deck safely, the Water Broom surface cleaner can offer a quick and effective way to clear off grass clippings and dirt.
