I tested pressure washers – how the winner cleaned my patio better than Karcher

Cleaning a muddy patio with a brush and elbow grease is tough work. If you dislike the task, consider investing in a pressure washer for an easier solution.

These machines make deep cleaning easy, and are perfect for patios, cars, garden furniture, or trampolines. With powerful water jets, they save time and are satisfying to use. I tested some to find the best.
