Do you wash your lawnmower after using it?

well, i know your supposed to clean it after each use,but nope i dont...i agree after mowing i'm tired dirty and dusty..i just want to guzzel some water and clean myself...and heck if i did all the mowing he can atleast bathe them and put them to bed....

I must admit I dont clean my mower off properly. I tend to shake off any loose grass and if I can be bothered I will get a stick and unlodge the grass underneath from around the blades. I have never cleaned it properly and it is over 20 years old so I dont think cleaning it makes much difference as it cuts just as well now as it did when it was new.

I don't mow, as we have no grass. But if I did own one and mowed, yes, I would clean it as needed. If it is getting a bit much, perhaps you can hire a kid to do it, or someone to clean it for you sugar.

I have never washed the lawn mower. We have always had a push mower. After using that, there is no strength to wash it.

Since you mow so much I would recommend cleaning under the mowers. It is a lot easier to clean fresh than dry. The mower will not cut right with that stuff built up in there. Your engine will also work harder therefore you will not get as much use out of it. We bought a riding lawn mower last fall and it has already paid for itself. I might keep the blades sharp and use it until it quits. LOL. I work long days and I want to relax when I get home not fool with the equipment. I weed eat the edges of a lot of flower beds and I have to clean it at the end of the day or it will not cut right and there is more friction as well.

I have a fair size garden which I mow weekly. It takes me an hour to do it all. I don't use a rider mower. I haven't washed or cleaned my mower since buying it and have used it for nearly 3 years now. I bought it cheap so I guess I can easily replace it if and when it goes wrong. I haven't really noticed any decrease in efficiency.

I dont cut the grass my husband does that. And I know he doesnt clean the mower after he uses it. When he comes in from mowing our lawn hes totaly wet from swet. We too have alot of ground and we dont have a rider mower.

I admit, I don't always clean my mower after using it, for the same reason as you - by the time I'm done mowing I'm just too tired. I do however try to do it every time and try teaching the kids to do the same when they mow. I have heard it is better for the life of the mower - keeping it clean delays rusting and such. My main reason though is because when the junk gets built up the mower doesn't cut as good and it's easier to clean it off when it's fresh rather than having to do it the next time I mow and it's all dried and hard underneath.
