6.1 General
Efficient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few
guidelines, combined with your own personal experience of spe
-
cific cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly
chosen, can increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. Here
is some basic information about cleaning.
6.1.1 Detergent and foam
Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the
chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are
applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order
to avoid “super clean” areas, where the detergent collects in higher
concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for
several minutes before rinsing but never let it dry on the surface
being cleaned.
Note:
It is important that the detergents do not dry
up. Otherwise the surfac that has to be cleaned can be da maged.
6.1.2 Mechanical effect
In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical
effect may be required. Special wash brushes offer this supple
-
mentary effect that removes stubborn dirt, traffic film or the like.
