CLEANING TIPS 

Deck Cleaning

(with or without detergent)

Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with
fresh water. If using Cub Cadet Deck
Wash, place detergent suction tube directly
into cleaning solution and apply to surface
at low pressure. For best results, limit your
work area to smaller sections of
approximately 25 square feet. Allow Cub
Cadet Deck Wash to remain on surface 1-3
minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on
surface. Rinse at high pressure in a long
sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle
approximately 6 inches 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. 
Caution: Do not use rotating nozzle spray
wand on wood surface as it may cause
damage.

House Siding

(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water.
If using Cub Cadet All Purpose Cleaner,
place detergent suction tube directly into
cleaning solution and apply to surface at
low pressure (for best results, limit your
work area to sections of approximately 6
feet and always apply detergent from
bottom to top). Allow Cub Cadet All
Purpose Cleaner to remain on surface 1-3
minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on
surface, if surface appears to be drying,
simply wet down surface with fresh water.
Rinse at high pressure from top to bottom
in an even sweeping motion keeping the
spray nozzle approximately 6 inches from
the cleaning surface. 
Caution: Do not use rotating nozzle spray
wand on siding as it may cause damage.

Cement Patios, 

Brick and Stone 

(with or without detergent)

Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water.
If using Cub Cadet All Purpose Cleaner,
place detergent suction tube directly into
cleaning solution and apply to surface at
low pressure. For best results, limit your
work area to smaller sections of
approximately 25 square feet. Allow Cub
Cadet All Purpose Cleaner to remain on
surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow
detergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high
pressure in a sweeping motion keeping the
spray nozzle approximately 3-6 inches from
the cleaning surface. Always clean from top
to bottom and from left to right. 

For removing extremely stubborn stains,
use the Cub Cadet Rotating Nozzle Spray
Wand.

Cars, Boats & Motorcycles

(with or without detergent)

Pre-rinse vehicle with fresh water. If using
Cub Cadet Vehicle Wash, place detergent
suction tube directly into cleaning solution
and apply to surface at low pressure. 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 8 inches from the cleaning
surface (distance should increase when
rinsing pin-striping or other sensitive
surfaces). Always clean from top to bottom
and from left to right. For best results, wipe
surface dry with a chamois or soft dry cloth. 

Caution: Do not use rotating nozzle spray
wand on vehicles as it may cause damage.
