Solo Sprayers Perfect for Yard and Deck Spring Cleaning

Spring is nearly here, and we can’t wait to start spending more time outdoors. Help your yard and deck look their best for the new season by using our Solo sprayers to apply pre-emergent herbicides and get rid of mold and mildew. 

Built tough and made to last, these Solo sprayers are the first choice of professional landscapers, cleaners and DIY-ers everywhere. Since 1948, Solo has earned global recognition for their superior quality spraying equipment, and we are excited to highlight two of our favorite units here:

Solo 400-1G Economy Sprayer – 1 Gal.

If you have wood decking, you’ve likely experienced mold or mildew at one point. During our cold and wet winters, wood becomes an ideal breeding ground for both. Mildew and mold aren’t just eyesores — they can be safety hazards as well, as they create slippery surfaces and can damage your wood deck. The Solo 400-1G Economy Sprayer can help you get the upper hand on algae, mildew and mold just in time for spring! 

Start of by blowing or sweeping the area to get rid of twigs, leaves and loose dirt. Pay attention to corners, and if any repairs or maintenance are needed, do it now. Check your railings to make sure they are secure, screw down any loose boards and readjust pavers that may have shifted over winter. 

Rinse the area with clean water, then use your sprayer to apply cleaning solution quickly and evenly. We are happy to recommend the best solution for your application! Stay away from bleach, which can lighten wood and even weaken it by breaking dow the polymers that bind it together. 

You’ll find that reaching deep corners and crevices, even in low places, is easy with the Solo 400-1G Economy Sprayer. Apply your solution as directed and give it time to work, then, if necessary, scrub the deck to remove the root of the mold. 

After the area has been thoroughly cleaned, rinse off the solution with clean water and let it dry completely before placing plants and furniture.
