CLEANING TIPS
Deck Cleaning
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with
fresh water. If using Kärcher 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
Kärcher 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 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.
Caution: Do not use Dirtblaster
®
nozzle
on wood surface as it may cause
damage.
House Siding
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water.
If using Kärcher House Wash, 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 Kärcher House Wash 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.
If needed, use special Wash Brush
Attachment to remove stubborn dirt.
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 Dirtblaster
®
nozzle
on siding as it may cause damage.

sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle
approximately 6-8 inches from the cleaning
