After months of heavy snowfall, salt build-up and winter grime, homeowners are eager to get outside to prepare their backyards, decks, garages and cars for summer fun and entertaining. To help deliver the message that pressure washers are one of the fastest, most efficient ways to tackle outdoor cleaning jobs, Canadian Tire invited media and consumers to three outdoor spring cleaning spectacles featuring the latest Karcher pressure washer. The events took place in early May in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

High Road worked with local graffiti artists, Patrick Thompson, Howie Dowitt and Scott Sueme, who were challenged to create works of art using only a pressure washer on enormous 8×12 foot structures made from dirty fence and house siding. The unique art pieces were created free-hand over the course of three hours and demonstrated that spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore.

Passers-by in each city also had a chance to try their hand at pressure washer art while also getting to test out the hottest spring cleaning tool. Giant collective art pieces, with the aid of the graffiti artists’ stencils, were created by consumers, one spray at a time.
