With the first rays of sunshine, it is time for a spring clean. A water blaster is particularly practical for this, as it makes it easier to make quick and thorough progress. And it can also be fun to see how the powerful water stream dislodges the dirt and rinses it away. But those who only use the water blaster to free the path in front of the house or the entrance to the garage from winter dirt are not taking full advantage of the versatile application possibilities of this machine. Old plant pots which should be filling the deck with greenery, or the dusty garden furniture, are clean in no time. Further application possibilities are opened up with the right accessories.

A power scrubber is available from Kärcher for smaller surfaces and steps. With three high-pressure nozzles and the additional mechanical effect of the bristles, a particularly powerful clean is achieved. In many cases – for example on decks or paths – you can progress three or four times more quickly with a surface cleaner like the Kärcher T-Racer, than with the high-pressure lance alone. The surfaces are particularly evenly cleaned and the hood also serves as a reliable splash guard. It also reaches high-up surfaces with a telescopic extension. Those who, for example, want to clean house facades or shutters and blinds in the coming year can do so safely from the ground up to a height of four meters with these accessories from Kärcher. Setting up a scaffold or wobbling on a ladder is no longer necessary.

The water blaster is always the better choice in comparison to spraying off surfaces with the garden hose. This is because a lot of water is saved as well as time, using 3,500 litres of water per hour flow through a normal hose. A high-performance water blaster requires only around 400 litres in the same amount of time.
