The snow’s gone, the sun’s out—and the outside of your house is looking a little… neglected. Spring is the perfect time to reset your yard, patio, siding, and outdoor gear with tools that actually make it easier (and maybe even fun?).
Here are the best outdoor cleaning tools we’ve used to take a home from crusty to curb-ready—plus a few smart upgrades that save time and protect your gear.
🧹 1. Leaf Blower (Not Just for Leaves)
A good blower clears out flower beds, garage corners, gutters, and everything in between.
🔗 DEWALT 60V MAX Blower – DCBL777Y1
Great power for spring cleanup without being bulky.
🧽 2. Power Scrubber with Extension Handle
Don’t spend hours on your knees scrubbing concrete or siding.
🔗 Power Scrubber Kit
Or upgrade to the Ryobi 18V Cordless Power Scrubber for serious surface cleaning.
🧴 3. Hose-End Patio + Siding Sprayer
Quick-attach to your hose and blast mildew, dirt, and salt residue off patios and siding.
🔗 Wet & Forget Outdoor Hose-End Cleaner – No scrub required
Also works great on vinyl fences, decks, and garage doors.
🧽 4. Long-Handle Deck Brush + Bucket
Old-school, but still one of the fastest ways to deep-clean garage floors, driveways, and walkways.
🔗 Ettore Heavy-Duty Floor Scrub Brush
Pair with a bucket of Krud Kutter Concrete Cleaner or just warm soapy water.
🪞 5. Window Squeegee with Extension Pole
Spring is the season for streak-free windows—especially after all that winter grime.
🔗 Unger Professional Window Kit
We like the dual-sided head and the long reach.
🧰 Bonus Tools That Make a Difference
- 🔗 Pressure Washer Surface Cleaner Attachment – Makes concrete jobs faster
- 🔗 Outdoor Vacuum/Blower Combo – Great for garages and sheds
- 🔗 Garden Hose Reels & Racks – Clean look + no kinks or coils
💡 Pro Tip
Most of these tools work best after you’ve done a quick pass with the leaf blower and knocked down cobwebs. Clean top-down, rinse toward drains, and always store gear dry to prevent mold.
