Spray Cooking Oil on Lawn Mower Blade

When you are cutting grass and the grass is damp, try spraying a little cooking spray on the blades of the lawn mower before starting to cut the grass.. It is amazing the grass doesn't stick to the blades and clump up.

thanks! I use it every time, I found that when I got the underside of the mower as clean and dry as I could, then used the cooking oil spray on it, now the grass buildup comes off far more easily. Sounds funny to say I now buy a can of cooking oil spray for the garage, but I do!

Spray Mower With Cooking Spray

When mowing your lawn, spray cooking spray on blade and under deck so the grass won't clog up your mower. This works like a charm and we have a swampy lawn.

I use a mulching mower, not a side shoot. But if using side shoot, spray the inside of shoot as well.
