Hi,

This may be sort of obvious but anyway it took me a while to figure it out.

After mowing my mower is usually covered in grass bits and leaves. I used to clean it using a plastic brush to brush off the loose clippings. This took a while, and if the grass was wet, getting it off the underside of the deck can take a while too.

After I cut the lawn I use a leaf blower to tidy up. I use that leaf blower now to clean off all those clippings from the mower. Tip the mower on the side an clean off that deck underside. I am usually done in about 60 seconds flat using this method. Also no risk of rust because you are using air not water.

Hope this is useful to someone. Probablly obvious in the first place, which I figured it out in year one, and not year three .... oh well ...

Best, Mike.
