cleaning Recommendations
Clean an inconspicuous test area to help avoid damaging the surface: Always begin
with the fan spray at a distance of about 3-5 feet from the surface being cleaned to avoid
damaging the surface of the object. Make sure that the test area is clear of people and
water prone/delicate objects. If a pressure washing detergent is to be used, apply the
detergent to this area as well. After cleaning this area, switch off the pressure washer
and inspect the area carefully for any damage or discoloration. If any damage is noted
from the pressure setting, use a lighter setting when cleaning the rest of the area. If
damage or discoloration is noted from the detergent, do not use it when cleaning.
First, pass over the area with a light cleaning, and then more thoroughly clean it.
For a vertical or sloped surface:
a. Wash from the top down.
b. If possible, direct the stream in the same direction as the slope towards a draining
area. This will enable better drainage and therefore better cleaning.
For a flat surface:
a. If a thin layer of water accumulates on the surface, periodically use the stream to
direct this water towards the drainage.
b. After the major cleaning is done, sweep the surface with the stream to help direct
loose debris toward the drainage.
If detergent is to be applied: Only use pressure washing detergent; other detergents
will clog or damage the pressure washer. Apply the detergent at low pressure. Allow
the detergent several minutes to sit and soak into the work surface; this will improve
cleaning efficiency. If the Spray Wand is used, briefly shut off the unit and pull the
adjustable nozzle in to switch to high pressure mode and automatically shut off the
soap dispenser for rinsing. Make certain to rinse off all detergent completely.
Hold the Wash Gun at about a 45° angle and steadily sweep the stream back and forth;
if a severe, head-on angle is used, dirt may imbed in the surface being cleaned. Follow
a steady, consistent pace during cleaning; this will help prevent stripes or discoloration
afterwards. If streaking or uneven cleaning is noted at the end of a project, go over the
edges of the streaks with a wide fan pattern to help blend these lighter areas in.
