1.  Apply detergent to vehicle or equipment surfaces in 

order to soften up dirt and grime. Apply from bottom 
to top. In cases of particularly dirty vehicles, pre-spray 
with a product such as Allosil in order to remove traces 
of insects etc, then rinse at low pressure and apply 
normal car cleaning detergent. Let detergents settle 
for 5 minutes before cleaning off. Metallic surfaces 
can be cleaned using RimTop.

2.  Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure lance.  

Clean again from bottom to top.  Use accessories to 
clean in dif

fi

 cult to reach places.  Use brushes in order 

to add a mechanical cleaning effect. Short lances can 
help for cleaning of motors and wheel arches. Curved 
lances or undercarriage washers  can be valuable for 
the cleaning of car underchassis and wheel arches.

3.  Clean fragile areas such as motors, rubber at lower 

pressure levels to avoid damage.

4.  Apply a liquid wax using the pressure washer in order 

to protect the bodywork from pollution.

Combi Active
Alkafoam 

Disinfectant
DES 3000

1.  Apply thick foam over the surfaces to be cleaned. 

Apply on dry surfaces. Apply from top to bottom on 
vertical surfaces. Let the foam act for up to 30 minutes 
for the optimal effect.

2.  Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure lance.  

Use applicable accessories. Use high pressure to 
dislodge large amounts of incrusted dirt or grime. 
Use lower pressure and high water volume in order 
to rapidly 

fl

 ush away loose dirt and rinse surfaces.

3.  Apply DES 3000 disinfectant once the surfaces are 

perfectly clean.

Areas covered by amounts of loose dirt, such as animal 
remains in slaughterhouses, can be cleaned by using 
high water 

fl

 ow to 

fl

 ush away the dirt to evacuation pits 

or drains.
Tank cleaning heads can be used to clean barrels, vats, 
mixing tanks etc. Cleaning heads may be hydraulically or 
electrically powered and give the possibility for automatic 
cleaning without a constant user.

Rusted or damag-
es surfaces prior 
to treatment

Wet Sandblasting 
equipment

1.  Connect the sandblasting lance to the pressure 

washer and place the suction tube in the sand.

2.  Always wear protective equipment during sandblast-

ing.

3.  Spray the surfaces to be treated with the mix of water 

and sand. Rust, paint etc will be stripped off.

These are merely several examples of cleaning tasks that can be solved by a pressure washer in asso-
ciation with accessories and detergents. Each cleaning task is different. Please consult your local dealer 
or Gerni representative in order to discuss the best solution for your own cleaning tasks.
