Yes, leaf blowers can be used on wet leaves, but they are generally less effective compared to dry leaves.Wet leaves are heavier and tend to stick together, making them harder to move with a blower.A more powerful blower or a different method like raking might be needed for wet leaves.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Effectiveness:
Leaf blowers work by using a stream of air to push leaves.Wet leaves are heavier and stickier, so they require more force to be moved.
Technique:
When blowing wet leaves, it’s often better to use a sweeping motion rather than a direct blast to avoid clumping.
Power:
If you’re dealing with wet leaves, a blower with higher CFM (cubic feet per minute) and MPH (miles per hour) will be more effective, according to Champion Power Equipment.
Alternative methods:
If your blower is struggling with wet leaves, consider raking them into piles or using a leaf vacuum.
