CLEANING TIPS
Deck Cleaning
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with
fresh water. If using Kärcher Deck & Patio
Cleaner, (
Canada: Deck + Fence 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 approxi-
mately 25 square feet. Allow detergent 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 rotating nozzle spray
wand on wood surface as it may cause
damage.
House Siding
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water.
If using Kärcher Exterior House Cleaner

and apply to surface at low pressure (for
best results, limit your work area to sections
of approximately 6 feet and always apply
detergent from bottom to top). Allow
detergent 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. Rinse at high
pressure from top to bottom in an even
