The following cleaning procedure will help you
to organize your cleaning task, and ensure
that you achieve the most beneficial results in
the shortest amount of time. Remember to
use the spraying/cleaning techniques
previously listed.
Before starting a pressure washer cleaning
job, it is important to prepare the surface that
is to be cleaned. This is done by cleaning the
area of furniture, and making sure that all
windows and doors are closed tight. In addition,
you should make sure that all plants and trees
adjacent to the cleaning area are protected
by a drop cloth. This will ensure that your
plants won’t be sprayed by the detergents.
The next step is to spray the cleaning surface
with water to clear off any dirt or grime that
may have collected on the surface. This will
allow your detergent to attack the deep down
dirt that has worked its way into the cleaning
surface. Before triggering the gun, adjust the
nozzle to a wide fan pattern and slowly adjust
to the desired spray pattern. This will help you
avoid applying too much concentrated spray
to the surface which could cause damage.
NOTE:
Use only detergents formulated for
pressure washers.
NOTE:
Test detergent in an inconspicuous
area before use.
Follow manufacturer’s label directions for
mixing correct concentrations of soap/
detergents. The soap/detergent to water ratio
through the pressure washer is approximately
5.4%.
