Below you will fi nd a description of a lot of cleaning tasks which can be solved by a pressure washer 
from Nilfi sk-ALTO in association with accessories and detergents.

Task

Accessories ‘Click 

& Clean’ 

Cleaning method

Car

Car nozzle, 
auto brush, 
underchassis 

 nozzle,

Foam sprayer, 

Car Combi Cleaner

1.  Apply Car Combi Cleaner with the foam sprayer. Always 

start from the bottom and work upwards. Let Car Combi 

  Cleaner act for at least 5 min.
2.  Wash the car with the car nozzle, which has been optimized for 

quick and gentle cleaning of enamelled surfaces (the jet is wider 
and not so sharp). Start at the front of the car and work back-
wards to avoid water from penetrating by the door mouldings. 

3.  Use the brush for removal of traffi c fi lm which is not removed by the 

nozzle. If the car is very dirty, apply Car Combi Clean er again. 

4.  Attach the undercarriage nozzle and clean undercarriage and 

wheel arches.  

5.  Remove water from the surface of the car with the scraper 

on the car brush. 

Make sure

 that all grains of sand etc. have 

been removed before using the scraper. Wipe with a wash lea-
ther where the scraper cannot reach.

Rims, alu-

minium

Rim brush,
auto nozzle,
 atomizer,
 Alu  Cleaner

Apply Alu Cleaner with an automizer. Let it act for approx.   

5 min. and wash with the rim brush. For steel rims, use Car Com-
bi Cleaner. Use the foam sprayer and wash with rim brush.

 

Be careful! 

 The high pressure jet may damage the tyres. 

Flagstones,
concrete 

fl oors and 
other hard 
surfaces

Powerspeed

®

 

nozzle, 
Stone & Wood
Cleaner,
 Patio  Cleaner

Wash towards outlets or the like. On surfaces with moss or 
 algae you may start by applying Stone & Wood Cleaner with  
 the foam sprayer. Wash before the soap dries. Another 
 more effective and quicker method is to use the Patio 
Cleaner. Thus you will also avoid splashes.

Garden 

furniture, 
wood 

Wood Cleaner
Garden brush

Apply Wood Cleaner and wash before the soap dries. 

NOTE: 

Use the garden brush to clean off the dirt.

Brickwork,
Wood work

Powerspeed

®

 

nozzle, 
Stone & Wood
Cleaner,
 Patio  Cleaner

Same method as for fl agstones, but 

be careful -

 bad joints and 

wood may be damaged by high pressure. You may choose only 
to use the Tornado

®

 nozzle. Adjust the distance (pressure) to 

the quality of the joints and the wood. Patio Cleaner can also be 
used on vertical surfaces. 

 

Gutter

Underchassis  spray 

lance

Wash the gutter with the nozzle. Always wash towards     

downpipes. 

Beware

 not to spray under the roofi ng.

Cleaning 

of drain 
pipes, out-
lets, down 
pipes etc.

Tube cleaner

Push the tube cleaner approx. ½ m (to mark) into a tube or drain 

and activate the trigger of the spray handle. The nozzle opening  
turning backwards will pull the cleaner through the tube.  The 
nozzle will break down the „plug“ and fl ush the dirt backwards.

Rust, paint

Water/sandblasting 

equipment

Mount the water/sand blasting equipment and rust and paint   

is effi ciently and quickly removed. Beware not to damage the 
surface to be sandblasted.

the foam sprayer and let it act for approx. 5 min. Wash with the 
nozzle. You may use the multiangle adaptor for hard to get at 
areas to avoid splashing.
