CLEANING TIPS

Deck Cleaning

- with or without detergent

Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water. If using deck wash, place detergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution and apply to surface at low pressure.

2

, allow deck wash to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. For stubborn dirt/stains you can use a patio cleaner head (not supplied).

Do not allow detergent to dry on surface.

Rinse at high pressure in a long sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately 75mm to 150mm from the cleaning surface. Always clean from top to bottom and from left to right.

When moving on to a new section of the cleaning surface, be sure to overlap the previous section to eliminate stop marks and ensure a more even cleaning result.

For best results, clean one side of vehicle at a time and always apply detergent from bottom to top, do not allow detergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high pressure in a sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately 150mm to 200mm from the cleaning surface (distance should increase with in rinsing pin-striping or other sensitive surfaces).

Rinse at high pressure keeping the spray nozzle approximately

75mm to 150mm from the cleaning surface. For removing extremely stubborn dirt, it may be necessary to move the spray nozzle even closer to the surface for greater dirt cutting action.

To remove caked-on mud from garbage cans, lawn mower blades, wheelbarrows or other non-sensitive metal surfaces, you may want to use a smaller degree nozzle.

House Siding

- with or without detergent
