Cleaning a mower deck is a messy job. Though it must be done several times per season, most folks wait to do this at the end of the season. The people that don’t, commonly clean the deck after every use. Cleaning the clumped plus dried-on grass clippings from the mower deck will greatly increase the effectiveness of the mower blades plus discharge of grass clippings.  Take away the mower deck (for riding lawn mowers) from the tractor pertaining to the instructions in the owner’s manual. Take away all arbor covers and belt shields (if applicable) from the top of the mower deck using a ratchet plus a socket. Shop all the main lawn mower deck dealer sites to get the best price.

Wash the top of the mower with warm water and a mild detergent. Use the vehicle wash brush to scrub and clean the upper deck plus assemblies thoroughly. Rinse the top of the deck off with a garden hose plus allow it to dry. Unfold an old blanket or sheet out on a flat surface. Stand the deck up on the back edge of the blanket. The underside of the deck should be facing the blanket and the rollers for the deck located on the bottom edge as it stands on the side of its back. Use the putty knife to scrape all the clumps of dried (plus wet) grass clippings from beneath the deck. The blanket will catch the accumulated mess. Clean the arbors beneath the blades, the top of the underside and the final sides thoroughly. Scrape around the chute area. 

Wash the underside of the deck using a stiff bristled scrub brush plus hot soapy water. Rinse the deck completely and allow it time to dry. Apply a coat of cooking spray to the underside of the deck, if desired. This may assist to prevent grass clipping buildup, but understand  that additional spray would be required after each use of the lawnmower to maintain its effectiveness. Reinstall the mower deck to the tractor. There are new innovative mower deck cleaning inventions available on the market nowadays.
