Garden Sprayer Needs
Cleaning At Each Use
Proper care of your
garden duster or sprayer
will keep it in working
condition and extend its life.
North Carolina State
University extension specialists
suggest that dusting
equipment should need no
maintenance as long as it is
kept dry, although it might
be a good idea to put a drop
of oil on the plunger, rod
occasionally.
Sprayers require more
care—particularly cleaning
care. Even stainless steel
sprayers need this attention.
The sprayers should be
washed out three times after
each use, using clear water.
This will prevent the
corrosion that often renders
pressure sprayers useless
after only a few seasons.
For metal sprayer tacks,
put in a tablespoonful of
household ammonia and
shake it thoroughly to
neutralize the corrosive
effects of any insecticide
residue. Allow the sprayer
to completely dry, then
lightly oil the plunger rod
and replace it in the tank.
It is particularly important
that gardeners not use
the same sprayer for
herbicides (weed killers) as
they do for insecticides. If
you use liquid weed killers,
you will need a separate
sprayer for that job alone.
It is almost impossible to
remove 100 per cent of the
herbicide residue from tank,
hose and nozzle, and this
tiny bit of herbicide residue
could severely damage
plants when the same tank
is used for an insecticide.
Sprayers used for herbicides
require thorough
cleaning to prevent corrosion.
Many of the herbicides
contain salts that are very
corrosive to metals. Also, be
careful where you clean
these sprayers. Cleaning
water shouldn't be poured
where it can damage plants
or lawn grasses.
