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, wheel barrels or other
non-sensitive metal surfaces, you may want
to use the Karcher Rotating Nozzle Spray
Wand.

Caution: Do not use rotating nozzle
spray wand on cloth, plastic or other
sensitive surfaces as it may cause
damage.

CLEANING TIPS – 

continued

Patio & Lawn Furniture

(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse furniture and surrounding area
with fresh water. If using Kärcher All
Purpose Cleaner, place detergent suction
tube directly into cleaning solution and apply
to surface at low pressure. Allow Kärcher All
Purpose Cleaner to remain on surface 1-3
minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on
surface. If needed use special Wash Brush
Attachment 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.

Caution: Do not use rotating nozzle
spray wand on patio or lawn furniture
as it may cause damage.

Recommendations

Before cleaning any surface an
inconspicuous area should be cleaned to
test spray pattern and distance for
maximum cleaning results.

If painted surfaces are pealing or chipping,
use extreme caution as pressure washer
may remove the loose paint from the
surface.
