Thank you HomeRight for sponsoring this cleaning tutorial and giveaway!
There’s something that really bothers me about a dirty deck. I don’t know if it’s because it’s ugly, or because when you walk out, and back into the house, it gets the floors dirty. Or if it’s because I have to ask my guests to carry their shoes from the front door to the back door so they won’t get the inside floors dirty, I don’t know. I feel like the inside should flow flawlessly out onto the deck so a dirty deck just erks me.
I’ve tried sweeping, I’ve tried spraying it with a hose and neither has worked, so my dirty deck remains. And of course the irritation that goes along with it has also remained.
But then something amazing happened. (I know I sound dramatic but I can’t tell you how much the dirty deck bothers me!) Something amazing came in the mail from HomeRight, the Deck Washer.
When I got it I thought, “duh, why didn’t I think of that?” It’s so simple but it’s seriously genius. Genius for real, like you all need to go get one this week!
Here’s what you do. First connect the Deck Washer to your hose. Turn the toggle to the “off” position so that when you turn the hose on, water doesn’t spray everywhere.
Hold the Deck Washer upright and turn the toggle to the “on” position.
Something that’s really cool is that you can turn the toggle “on” as much, or as little as you want. We live in California and right now we are in a huge drought so I feel guilty about using excess water. Even turning the toggle only half way on I was still able to get plenty of water pressure.
The bristles on the Deck Washer are stiff and do a good job scrubbing, so you don’t have to work too hard. I washed my entire deck in about 5 minutes and that includes turning the water off, moving around deck furniture, etc.
After I was done washing the deck I used the Deck Washer to clean off my indoor/outdoor rug. Easy peasy!
I’m seriously giddy about how good the deck looks now. I think I might actually go out there and spend time out there now, up until now I’ve been avoiding it like the plague!

Absolutely!
It looks awesome Anna! I have a love hate relationship with decks too.
We built a “shade pavilion” this summer, and will have to wash then seal it. This would be just what we need to complete that task.
I live in the desert and my cool deck gets so stained from the red clay dirt flying all around that my deck gets really dirty. This deck cleaner would be so amazing to help me clean my deck 🙂

Brilliant idea!!!
Definitely my porch and sidewalks! What a beautiful deck you have! 😉
I would definitely use this to clean my back deck. We just bought this house & the deck needs some SERIOUS help!
This would work great on my patio and carport!
I have decks to clean!!! This looks fabulous!
What a cool tool! I need one of these for our new place!
Oh I have a long list of things to be cleaned with that! Looks like a great cleaning tool!
Wow what a difference! You deck looks awesome!
I’d scrub my patio … it’s always covered in evidence of the kids’ playtime!
My mother in law would LOVE this tool…she is forever complaining about her deck up at the cottage….awesome.
I would use this for our patio and for the indoor/outdoor rug that I use under our table to protect the carpeting in our dining room. With a toddler at the table, it is in real need of a good scrubbing!
Awesome invention! Will check it out on my next Lowe’s/Home Depot expedition! Thanks for the heads up.
Wow! We truly need one of these deck cleaners. Our decks are a mess and the prospect of cleaning them, daunting. Would surely love to win this.
I would wash everything in sight. The porch, the sidewalk, everything.
Would probably clean whatever it is capable of cleaning, starting with the deck, the sidewalk, the driveway and whatever else can be brushed clean. Don’t think it will work on the dog though!
My deck is a disaster. This definitely looks like the answer to my problem.
Such an awesome tool!! I could have totally used this at our last house!
Everything starting with my deck!
I have a wrap around porch on my house that I would wash first then the back deck.
I could really use this for our deck!
This is pure genius. I want one! I want one! Pick me.
I would use this Deck Washer to wash everything in my sight! I would love to wash my deck, patio, and my outdoor rugs!
um i would totally use this for everything in site!! lol!! no but really our front porch, back patio, and driveway could totally use this!!!!
We are currently cleaning off our deck in preparation for the winter season. My hubby would love this!
I would use it for my patio, walk ways and I have a few other household deep cleaning ideas.
I would wash everything outside that needs it!
We just put in a new deck this summer and then we had work done in the house. Our deck has been a mess. I would like to get my hands on this. It sounds fantastic!

We have a maintenance company , so I’m sure we would put it to good use.
Id use it for my driveway.
This looks amazing. I am always on the look out for tools to make cleaning easier.
