CLEANING TIPS 

– continued

Barbecue Grills, Outdoor Power
Equipment & 
Gardening Tools 

(with or without detergent)

Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If
using Kärcher All Purpose Cleaner or
Degreaser, place detergent suction tube
directly into cleaning solution and apply
detergent at low pressure. Allow Kärcher
detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes.
Do not allow detergent to dry on surface.
Rinse at high pressure keeping the spray
nozzle approximately 3-6 inches 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 the Kärcher Dirtblaster

®

Nozzle.

Caution: Do not use Dirtblaster
