A TikTok user, Han, has recently shared a video of her mother’s unique way of cleaning her garden in preparation for summer. The video shows her mother using a hoover to pick up debris and dead leaves on her patio. Her mother grins widely as she spots that she is being filmed, before continuing with her tidying mission. Han captioned the video, “Anyone else’s mum prep for Summer by vacuuming their garden?” In the comments section, many people assured Han that her mum was not the only one who uses a hoover for garden cleaning.
One commenter wrote that they use a hoover to clean their garden every second day and pressure wash it. Another person said that they have two hoovers, one for inside and one for the patio. Some people even admitted to having a garden vacuum cleaner. However, one commenter warned that using a hoover inside and outside could lead to ants or other insects getting inside.
While using a hoover to clean a garden may seem unusual, it is not entirely unheard of. In fact, many people have found that using a hoover can save them time and effort when it comes to cleaning up their outdoor spaces. Some people even use a lawnmower to pick up leaves on their driveway.
It is important to note that using a hoover outside can cause damage to the appliance. It is recommended to use a specific outdoor hoover or to thoroughly clean the hoover after use to avoid any potential damage. Additionally, it is important to be mindful of any insects or pests that may be present in the garden and to take appropriate measures to avoid bringing them inside.
Overall, Han’s video has sparked a conversation about unique ways to clean a garden and has shown that using a hoover is not as uncommon as one might think. However, it is important to take precautions to avoid any damage to the hoover and to be mindful of potential pests.
