CLEANING TIPS

Pressure Wash, apply to surface at low pressure. 

Allow Pressure Wash to remain on surface 1-3 

minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on surface. 

If needed use special Wash Brush Attachment (not 

included) to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at high 

pressure in a sweeping motion keeping the spray 

nozzle approximately 3-6 inches from the cleaning 

surface. For best results, clean from top to bottom 

and from left to right.
