10 Handy Things You Can Do with a Hose Wand

A tidy, well-organized, and clean garage offers valuable square feet of storage space but all too often this room becomes a household dumping ground for clutter. Left untended, your garage can even play host to dust, mold, and pests. Take back your space with a total clean-out. After removing everything from the garage and organizing it into piles (keep, donate, and toss) turn your attention to the ceilings, walls, and floors. A stiff-bristled broom can rid your space of some dust and debris but for a deep clean, trust a tool such as the HYDE PivotPro to blast away gunk from every nook and cranny—and all without having to bend, stretch, or stoop.

Your patio furniture maintenance routine depends on whether you've got wicker or wrought iron, plastic, upholstery, or wood. One thing's for certain though: Constant exposure to the elements means your furniture is going to attract dirt, mold, and mildew. While essential, cleaning patio furniture isn't the most enjoyable way to spend a summer's day. Luckily, it's easier than ever to give furniture much needed TLC, with a tool like the HYDE PivotPro. The adjustable spray allows you to select a gentle fan spray for delicate vinyl upholstery, and a more powerful jet to blast gunk from metal or glass tabletops. Plus the pivoting nozzle lets you give the undersides of the table and chairs a thorough washing from a comfortable standing position.

Gutters are your home's first defense against leaks and flooding after a heavy rain, but they need to be kept clean and free-flowing in order to be effective.

The head of the wand pivots 135 degrees, allowing you to easily blast away debris from every nook and cranny.
