CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
1.
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 the test area is
clear of people and water prone/delicate objects. After cleaning the test area,
turn off the Pressure Washer and inspect the test area carefully for any damage
or discoloration. If any damage is noted from the pressure setting, use a wider
setting when cleaning the rest of the area.
2.
First, pass over the area with a light cleaning, and then more thoroughly clean it.
3.
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.
4.
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 towards the drainage.
5.
Hold the Spray Gun (21) at about a 45 degree 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 clean-
ing 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.
6.
If several different surfaces are to be cleaned, be careful not to damage any of
the less solid surfaces while trying to clean the harder ones. This is especially a
concern when cleaning tile and grout, bricks and mortar, or stones and mortar.
7.
If wood is being cleaned, be careful not to damage it. Wood will usually require
resurfacing (sanding) and re-coat with a surface protectant (wood, stain, varnish)
after it has dried again. Try to avoid leaving water on a wooden surface, as doing
so can harm the surface.
