入冬前:整理好你的房子和花园
Summer is coming to an end, the warm days on the terrace are numbered and there is not much more to do in the garden. Now is the time to prepare the garden furniture and equipment for their winter break. We show you how to do it!
Check list: Prepared for autumn and winter
1) Garden furniture:
- Work to the surface with the flat pressure washer jet at a distance of 20 to 30 centimetres.
- 如果污垢非常顽固,建议额外使用清洁剂。
2) 花盆和玩具
- Flower pots, or the children's slide, can also be cleaned with the pressure washer along with the garden furniture, before they are all stored in the shed or cellar.
- The work with the strong water jet is particularly quick and easy on mostly robust plastic surfaces.
- This is also the case for ceramic plant pots.
3) Paths and walls
- Most natural impurities can generally be removed quickly with a pressure washer.
- Because moss and lichen clings very stubbornly to the pores of surfaces, use the rotating nozzle for cleaning.
- Get paths cleaned even faster with a so-called surface cleaner.
4) Terrace
- 干净的露台和阳台配有扁平的喷嘴和喷枪,使您能够根据材料的类型来调整水压。
- 使用带有表面清洁剂附件的压力垫圈使工作特别容易。另外的优点是喷雾保护,以及更快地完成工作节省了水。
- Clean wooden surfaces with surface cleaners only, which allow the operating pressure to be regulated. Work with reduced pressure.
- If the wooden surface has not been cleaned for some time, it has been shown that first applying a detergent loosens the dirt. Use the pressure washer here too, to distribute the mix of water and detergent at low pressure.
Sweep up leaves without the back pain
The most recommended sweepers are those equipped with two side brushes. Their long brushes expand the operating width, and ensure the edges of curbs and house walls are cleaned thoroughly.
扫地机可以捕捉潮湿的泥土和松散的干燥的泥土。扫地时不必弯腰,手也要保持干净。而且因为清扫直接进入集装箱,你不必在每一阵风过后重新开始。
A storage tip A sweeper can take up quite a lot of space in the garage or shed. This problem is cleverly solved with machines that can be stored vertically against the wall with the push handles folded down.
Clean garden tools before storing them
Tools and equipment such as wheelbarrows, spades, grass and garden rakes should also be thoroughly cleaned in autumn. Because if earth and plant residue remains attached for a longer time, it absorbs moisture and can cause corrosion to the metal surfaces.
If a tool is cleaned before the winter break, its value is enhanced and its life is extended. The especially powerful dirt scratcher - a rotating point jet - can also be used to remove stubborn incrustations with the pressure washer.
How to store your pressure washer correctly
Once everything is clean, the pressure washer can take its well-earned winter rest. Remember:
从设备中排出剩余的水。最简单的方法是在拆下高压软管并关闭供水后,再次短暂启动机器(大约半分钟)。如果水留在设备中并冻结,冰的膨胀力会损坏泵和密封件。
