Garden decor overhauls – how to bring back the WOW this season

Patio areas can be a real asset, not to mention where you spend most of your time on warmer evenings. However they can only be enjoyed as long as they have been well maintained. 

With this in mind, we’re here to share some of the key factors to think about in order to tidy up your outdoor space and bring back that WOW factor to impress anyone who pops around for drinks. 

Clear up beds, borders and paths

Firstly, take a look around the whole of your outdoor space, noting any problem areas and hard to reach spaces. Leave no stone unturned, literally!

The key to an impressive space is attention to detail – and that is where the Kärcher Wet and Dry vacuum cleaner really comes into its own.

Set it to work on decking or paved areas, using the long hose and attachments to get into tight grooves and gaps – anywhere dirt stubbornly refuses to budge. And also turn your attention to beds, borders and paths. Your Kärcher WD will be great for sucking up stray gravel and soil from knocked over plant pots, as well as general debris. 

Cleaning this type of mess from outdoor areas will usually be too tough for your indoor vac, so you can rely on the Kärcher WD for a pristine space.

One of the most effective ways to spruce up an outdoor space and make it feel more homely is by cleaning any outdoor furniture, equipment and decorative features. This could be anything from seating to sculpture or table tennis sets. 

Next, add in tactile styling cues such as cushions and rugs – items that people may generally associate more with indoor comfort. 

Part of your overhaul is considering how you might use the space seasonally, so it’s really important to make sure that when the sun’s out, you can get the area ready quickly.

And when it comes to storing away items for winter, you’ll thank the Kärcher WD for cleaning them up ready to be brought out again next year.

Lighting can instantly uplift a garden and turn it into a usable space even when the sun goes down. 

To make your entertaining set-up truly inviting, we would first recommend installing a practical outdoor lighting system, one suited for seeing pathways – as well as illuminating a table arrangement. 

Alternatively, mood lighting can be achieved with the addition of portable lanterns and twinkling tealights. Fragrance-infused candles will also make evening drinks feel extra special – opt for ones with botanical notes to enhance your surroundings.

With its energy efficient motor and powerful suction, the Kärcher Wet and Dry vacuum cleaner comes in a range of sizes to suit any household. 

And thanks to its ability to work seamlessly between wet and dry surfaces, the Kärcher WD will pick up everything from moist soil debris to wet leaves and accidental spills.

On models such as the WD 5, there is no need for contact with the dirt either – thanks to its innovative touch-free filter system.

So whether it’s garden overhauls, or tackling the car or DIY mess, the Kärcher Wet and Dry vacuum cleaner will be your perfect helper for pristine living this season and beyond.
