WE’VE all stepped into the garden at the start of summer to find grime and algae have covered patios, fences and garden furniture over the winter months.
Luckily, there’s no need to reach for a scrubbing brush with many retailers offering great deals on pressure washers that can leave your outdoor spaces sparkling in minutes.
Pressure washers use a pressurized jet of water to blast away dirt and grime and can also be used to clean cars, bikes and even wellies.
If you are buying for the first time or just want to upgrade your old pressure washer there are many affordable deals around at the moment.
The key thing to consider is the water pressure you’ll need.
If you’re looking to shift years of grime from your paving slabs you will need a more powerful washer, but if you’re just taking a light layer of dirt off garden furniture a lower power model will do the job perfectly.
Anything over 150bar is considered very high, while anything under 50bar is considered low.
You will also want to take into account the weight and size of the washer and the length of hose to ensure it can meet all your garden needs.
We’ve rounded up some of the best pressure washers on the market this week.
We have checked retailers including The Range, B&M and Halfords to find out where you can get the best offers.
All of the deals we found are available at the time of writing, but it could also be worth you shopping around.
You can use price comparison sites such as Google Shopping to compare online prices across different retailers.
Remember if you are buying online factor in the cost of delivery, it usually varies depending on the size of the item you are buying.
You might find some different offers by popping into your local store too.
