Cleaning your lawnmower is not only essential for smooth operation; it will extend the life of your machine. The underside of the deck of the lawnmower can quickly become caked with grass clippings and debris if left uncleaned. It is essential to clean this part of the lawnmower at least twice a mowing season to avoid damage.
Normal cleaning procedures for a gas-powered mower often include using a hose or pressure washer to remove debris. Getting an electric mower wet in this fashion has a strong possibility of damaging the lawnmower beyond repair. This guide uses a Greenworks M060L00 lawnmower to demonstrate how to clean your electric mower safely without using any water.
