Carefully observe the instructions and guidance of the supplier, as well as the rules concerning safety clothing and drainage facilities.
Detergents, which are not specifically prescribed for use with high pressure cleaning equipment should only be used if you are safe for the machine and the environment. Contact your ALTO distributor for assistance if in doubt.
The use of ALTO detergents ensures that machines, accessories and detergents match, which will result in the optimal solution of a cleaning task.
ALTO can offer you a wide range of efficient agents for cleaning. The products are formulated of sub- stances which combine efficiency and environmental considerations at one and the same time.
5.4 Working methods
Your high pressure washer has been developed for cleaning according to the
STEP 1 | Application of detergent |
STEP 2 | High pressure cleaning/agitation |

In practice the working process is determined by the actual task, but as a starting point, the following method can be described for a job:
1.Apply detergent under low pressure to prevent aerosol and waste. (See Tip no.1, below) The concen- tration is chosen according to the job and the metering is done by the injector setting.
2.Allow contact time. Let the detergent act on the dirt/surface for a short time prior to pressure cleaning - usually a few minutes. DON’T let the detergent dry on the surface.
3.High pressure cleaning. Agitate all surfaces under high pressure.
4.Rinse afterwards, if necessary, to make sure that residual impurities and chemical are removed from the surface.
Optimum cleaning results will be achieved by following these 3 „Tips“:
Tip no. 1
When using a detergent, always apply it on a dry surface if possible. (If the surface is rinsed with water at first, it may be difficult for it to absorb the detergent, and the result is a reduced effect of the detergent).
Tip no. 2
When applying a detergent on large vertical surfaces (i.e. the sides of a truck) apply from the
Tip no. 3
While high pressure cleaning, work so that the high pressure water does not run over dirty surfaces which have not yet been cleaned. This will aid the detergent eventually applied on that surface.
