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 that the test area is clear of people and water prone/delicate objects. If a pressure washing detergent is to be used, apply the detergent to this area as well. After cleaning this area, switch off the pressure washer and inspect the area carefully for any damage or discoloration. If any damage is noted from the pressure setting, use a lighter setting when cleaning the rest of the area. If damage or discoloration is noted from the detergent, do not use it when cleaning.

2.First, pass over the area with a light cleaning, and then more thoroughly clean it.

3a. 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.

3b. 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 toward the drainage.

4.If detergent is to be applied: Only use pressure washing detergent; other detergents might clog or damage the pressure washer. Apply the detergent at low pressure by using the Detergent Bottle (H). Allow the detergent several minutes to sit and soak into the work surface; this will improve cleaning efficiency. Make certain to rinse off all detergent completely.

5.Hold the Gun Assembly at about a 45° 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 cleaning 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; doing so can harm the surface.
