GENERAL WASHING
TECHNIQUES
1. Hold spray nozzle approximately one foot from the
surface being cleaned. Spray at an angle to get un-
der the material and lift it off.
2. When washing large objects, use detergent injector to
apply detergent (see section “How to use the Deter-
gent Injector”). Start washing from the bottom and work
up. Better detergent economy and faster results will
be obtained by allowing the detergent to set 5-10 min-
utes. After washing, rinse from the top down.
