CLEANING TIPS

Deck Cleaning

(with or without detergent)

Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with

fresh water. If using Kärcher Deck & Patio

Cleaner,  (

Canada:  Deck  +  Fence  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 approxi-

mately 25 square feet. Allow detergent 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 3-6 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.
