CLEANING TIPS                                              

Deck Cleaning

(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with
fresh water. If using Kärcher Detergent,
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 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 pre-
vious section to eliminate stop marks and
ensure a more even cleaning result.
Caution: Do not use rotating nozzle spray
wand on wood surface as it may cause
damage.

House Siding

(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water.
If using Kärcher Detergent, 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 Karcher Detergent to remain on sur-
face 1-3 minutes. Do not allow detergent to
dry on surface, if surface appears to be dry-
ing, 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 rotating nozzle spray
wand on siding as it may cause damage.

Cement Patios,
Brick and Stone 

(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water.
If using Karcher Detergent, 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 Detergent to remain on sur-
face 1-3 minutes. Do not allow detergent to
dry on surface. Rinse at high pressure in a
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. For removing extreme-
ly stubborn stains, use Kärcher Rotating
Nozzle Spray Wand.

Cars, Boats & Motorcycles

(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse vehicle with fresh water. If using
Karcher Vehicle Wash, place detergent suc-
tion tube directly into cleaning solution and
apply to surface at low pressure. For best
results, clean one side of vehicle at a time
and always apply detergent from bottom to
top, do not allow detergent to dry on sur-
face. If needed, use special Wash Brush
Attachment to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse
at high pressure in a sweeping motion keep-
ing the spray nozzle approximately 6-8 inch-
es from the cleaning surface (distance
should increase when rinsing pin-striping 
or other sensitive surfaces). Always clean
from top to bottom and from left to right. For
best results, wipe surface dry with a
chamois or soft dry cloth.

wand on vehicles as it may 
cause damage.
