Default Good idea to always hose down the lawnmower?

I understand that the grass on the lawnmower corrode the metal.
Would hosing down the mower after every use, be bad idea. Or would
the overspray water create problems in the engine?


using a leaf blower is the least destructive.


Never hose down a hot engine after use.
Engines don't like the quick uneven change in temps, causing stuff
internal or external to crack of snap.
Use the leaf blower.
