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 rotating nozzle spray
wand on wood surface as it may cause
damage.

House Siding

detergent from bottom to top). Allow Karcher
House Wash to remain on surface 1-3
minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on
