CLEANING TIPS
Deck Cleaning - with or without detergent
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water. If
using deck 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 2m
2
, allow deck wash to remain on surface
1-3 minutes. For stubborn dirt/stains you can use a patio
cleaner head (not supplied).
Do not allow detergent to dry on surface.
Rinse at high pressure in a long sweeping motion keeping
the spray nozzle approximately 75mm to 150mm 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.
House Siding - with or without detergent
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If using house
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 approximately
2m wide and always apply detergent from bottom to top).
Allow house 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 special cyclone nozzle attachment (not
supplied) to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at high pressure
from top to bottom in an even sweeping motion keeping
the spray nozzle approximately 150mm from the
cleaning surface.
Cement Patios, Brick & Stone - with or
without detergent
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water.
If using all purpose cleaner, 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 2m
2
. Allow all purpose cleaner 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

always apply detergent from bottom to top, do not allow
detergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high pressure in a
sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately
150mm to 200mm from the cleaning surface (distance

other non-sensitive metal surfaces, you may want to use a
smaller degree nozzle.
