Take the hard work out of scrubbing and cleaning walls, paving, decking and outside furniture with a Ryobi 18V ONE+ Telescopic Pole Scrubber. No more power cords and ladders, now you can clean the outside walls, deck, pavers and outside furniture of your home easily.

The telescopic body allows for extended reach into out-of-the-way places, while the entire scrubber can easily handle a bit of water with its water protection rating. It runs for up to 120 minutes on a 4.0Ah battery.

Take the wheelbarrow around your yard and pick up everything that needs to be returned to its rightful home, like children’s toys and things the dog has dragged in. No clutter means viewers will concentrate on the aesthetics of the space rather than where to walk without tripping or getting something unmentionable on their shoes.

Use these and other Ryobi outdoor tools to create street appeal for your home and make a great first impression on prospective buyers.
