Winter is gone and summer is here, which means it’s time for barbecues and lazy days spent lounging outside. But to get all that, you have to clean your outdoor spaces. (Boo.) The tools below will help you do that quickly and efficiently so you can get back to the good stuff while we still have the weather for it. Here are some resources to help you freshen up your patio, outdoor furniture, and gutters, and hide away unsightly garbage cans and AC units.

Tools for cleaning the patio

Let these tools do the hard work for you to get your patio guest-ready:

The Leebein electric spin scrubber ($49.99) is a heavy-duty scrubbing machine that comes with a variety of brush heads to tackle all the crevices and hard-to-reach areas on the deck, but is also remote-controlled and cordless, so you’ll never have to bend down, even to change the speed or settings. It adjusts to a number of lengths and angles, too. 

The Old City Unltd. Moss removal brush ($23.97) has long wire bristles in a thin line to help remove moss and weeds that grow between pavers.

If it’s time for a new scrub brush, try the AIR U+ floor scrub brush ($19.99) which is dual-sided and comes with a squeegee, too. 

Tools for cleaning everything else outside

Your deck is clean. Great. What about all the other outdoor stuff? 

Keep your windows and glass doors pristine without breaking your back by picking up Windex Concentrated Outdoor Glass Cleaner (two for $22.80), which does what Windex does for your regular windows, but on a much larger scale. You screw your hose into it and wash down all your glass, achieving the classic streak-free shine with minimal work.

CLR outdoor furniture cleaner ($13.29) is highly rated and safe to use on fabric, wood, wicker, PVC, plastic, and whatever else your outdoor furniture and decor might be made of. It’s non-abrasive and contains UV protectants so every time you clean, you also shield your items from the sun, keeping them nicer for longer. 

Power washers can get expensive, but the Rock&Rocker pressure washer ($119.99) splits the difference there, offering four nozzles and a spray of up to 2.6 gallons per minute at a decent price point, so you can power wash everything and call it a day.

If you can’t clean it, hide it: Whether it’s an unsightly garbage can or an air conditioning unit, hide it behind a more aesthetically pleasing multi-purpose privacy fence ($121.81) to give the illusion of spotlessness. The fence comes with planters so you can create a garden vibe while hiding your unsightly necessities.

The power washer will help with your gutters, but if you need a little more help, try the CHOMP GutterSmop ($25.97) which attaches to the CHOMP handle ($39.97) to remove dirt from your siding and gutters and help scrub away any stains caused by the elements.
