CLEANING TIPS
Recommendations
• Before cleaning any surface an
inconspicuous area should be cleaned to
test spray pattern and distance for
maximum cleaning results.
• If painted surfaces are peeling or
chipping, use extreme caution as
pressure washer may remove the loose
paint from the surface.
Deck Cleaning
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with
fresh water. If using Pressure Wash, place
detergent suction tube directly into cleaning
solution and apply to surface at low pressure.
For best results, limit your work area to smaller
sections of approximately 25 square feet.
Allow Pressure Wash to remain on surface 1-
3 minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on
surface. Rinse at high pressure in a long
sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle
approximately 3-6 inches from the cleaning
surface. Always clean from top to bottom and
from left to right. When moving on to a new
section of the cleaning surface, be sure to
overlap the previous section to eliminate stop
marks and ensure a more even cleaning result.
Caution: Do not use the rotary nozzle on
wood surfaces as it may cause damage.
House Siding
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If
using Pressure Wash, place detergent suction
tube directly into cleaning solution and apply
to surface at low pressure (for best results,
limit your work area to sections of approx-
imately 6 feet and always apply detergent
from bottom to top). Allow Pressure Wash to
remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow
detergent to dry on surface, if surface appears
to be drying, simply wet down surface with
fresh water. If needed, use the special Wash
Brush attachment to remove stubborn dirt.
Rinse at high pressure from top to bottom in
an even sweeping motion keeping the spray
nozzle approximately 6 inches from the
cleaning surface.
Caution: Do not use the rotary nozzle on
siding as it may cause damage.
Cement Patios,
Brick and Stone
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If
using Pressure Wash, place detergent suction
tube directly into cleaning solution and apply
to surface at low pressure. For best results,
limit your work area to smaller sections of
approximately 25 square feet. Allow Pressure
Wash to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do
not allow detergent to dry on surface. Rinse
at high pressure in a sweeping motion keeping
the spray nozzle approximately 3-6 inches
from the cleaning surface. Always clean from
top to bottom and from left to right. For
removing extremely stubborn stains, use the
Rotary Nozzle.
Cars, Boats & Motorcycles
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse vehicle with fresh water. If using
Pressure Wash, place detergent suction tube
directly into cleaning solution and apply to
surface at low pressure. For best results, clean
one side of vehicle at a time and always apply
detergent from bottom to top, do not allow
detergent to dry on surface. If needed, use
the special Wash Brush attachment to remove
stubborn dirt. Rinse at high pressure in a
sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle
approximately 6-8 inches from the cleaning
surface (distance should increase when
rinsing pin-striping or other sensitive
surfaces). Always clean from top to bottom
and from left to right. For best results, wipe
surface dry with a chamois or soft dry cloth.
Caution: Do not use the rotary nozzle on
vehicles as it may cause damage.
