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 approxi-
mately 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 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.
House Siding

gent suction tube directly into cleaning

surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow detergent
