Thanks HomeRight for sponsoring this post!
We have had a string of mild days in a row, and I am scrambling to take advantage of them before the cold weather comes back! My poor front porch, back porch, and back patio are in sad, embarrassing shape. This summer, we painted the exterior of our home and I wanted a “haint blue” porch ceiling. Some claim that bugs and spiders mistake the blue for the sky and won’t congregate on a blue ceiling. I didn’t really buy this theory in the first place, but I’m here to tell you that our bugs and spiders definitely missed that memo. They LOVE my porch and it was scarier than Halloween out there.
After all the creepy crawlies were removed , I began washing all of the grime off the porch, railings, window sill, and brick wall. The broom connects right to your garden hose and has an on/off switch allowing you to control the water flow. It shoots an effective yet gentle stream of water, so if you have a painted porch floor like I do you don’t have to worry about the water pressure lifting off the paint.
So here is the final scoop on what I thought about this product!
Things I loved about the HomeRight Deck Washer & Soap Dispenser:
- The telescopic pole is fantastic for reaching overhead and is great for cleaning ceilings, walls, siding, etc.
- The soap dispenser attachment is helpful and allows you to just wash and go.
- The Deck Washer Broom does a thorough job at cleaning.
- It’s affordable and reasonably priced for the job it performs.
Things to consider:
- If you are cleaning overhead with the water turned on, you will get very wet :). I didn’t get wet at all, not even my shoes, while cleaning the porch, but I didn’t use any water overhead.
- The way the water shoots out of the broom works best while holding the broom at a normal downward 45• angle. I used the broom with the water turned on to clean my railings, the lower wall, and the window sill and had to play with the angle I held the broom.
- My broom head needed to be tightened back onto the broom a few times while cleaning. It wasn’t a big deal to me and didn’t impact the broom’s ability to clean, but I thought it worth mentioning as something to consider.
Let’s take a look at how well it cleaned with some final before and after shots!

Desaree Martin says

What a great giveaway! I need something just like this for my porch. My porch roof looks a lot like your before photos and I have been needing to get out there to clean it. This will be perfect for the job!

This would be great for cleaning off our front porch. Our door is still decorated from Halloween. It is time for those bugs and webs to go.

This would be a great win for me to use on my porches and deck as it appears light in weight and therefore easy to manage. Thanks!
Jessi @ Practically Functional says
Ooh I could definitely use that on our back deck and stairs! They are in serious need of cleaning!
Christy says
Ewwww, my porch. I was just thinking yesterday how gross it is with the spiders and bugs and dirt and all sorts of yuck. It’s going to be time to hang Christmas decorations before long and I want to get it fixed up!
Susan T says
OMG…….so many uses. First I’d do our deck and then the skirting around the pool!!! 🙂

our back patio
Evelyn says
Just what I need for my porch.
Carla says
My siding & windows! I love homeright products!
Katie K says
We really need to seal our deck and this would be perfect for cleaning before hand! Also… I have a stone front porch I’ve never been able to clean properly so this would be great for that as well!
Sarah says
If I were to win this, I would actually give it to my Mom. She really could use this all over the outside of her house, her decks, etc. She’s getting older and it’s just proving to be too much time/effort to keep up with everything. This would make a great gift for her, especially since the Holiday Season is upon us. I think it would make her feel better, too, that she could still do it herself but it’s be a heck of a lot easier and faster!! Thanks for the chance!!
Janna says
OMG….my deck could totally use this tool! It’s amazing how dirty it gets out there. And despite my efforts to clean it, it just doesn’t look as great as yours now does….this would surely help! Awesome!

We have a small yellow wood frame house with 27 windows. It collects a lot of spider webs.
We are not supposed to get on ladders any more, so this would sure make the job easier
when we clean the outside wood and the window sills.

I desperately need this for my front porch.

I would love to try this on the siding in the front and back of our home and on the garage door. Those areas are usually shaded, so they have a lot of gunk built up on them!
