Chicago, IL – As the last remnants of winter give way to the burgeoning signs of spring, National Lawnmower Maintenance Week, observed from March 1-7, serves as a timely reminder for Midwest homeowners to prepare their lawnmowers for the upcoming season. This initiative, launched in 2023 in collaboration with Toro and the National Day Calendar, emphasizes the importance of early spring maintenance to ensure lawnmowers are ready for the summer ahead.
Initiated in 2023, National Lawnmower Maintenance Week aims to drive awareness about the significance of regular lawnmower upkeep. From changing the engine oil in gas-powered mowers to inspecting and charging batteries in electric models, performing these routine maintenance tasks is crucial for extending the life of the equipment and saving money over time.
The week also highlights the history and evolution of the lawnmower, from its invention in 1830 by Edwin Budding to its current status as a cornerstone of a multi-billion-dollar industry. With a comprehensive campaign that includes tips, tricks, and resources, National Lawnmower Maintenance Week encourages lawnmower owners to keep their machines in prime condition.
Homeowners are invited to participate in National Lawnmower Maintenance Week by sharing their maintenance tips and successes on social media using #LawnmowerMaintenanceWeek, fostering a community of well-prepared and proud lawnmower owners as they head into the gardening season.
