CLEANING TIPS
Deck Cleaning
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water. If using Kärcher Deck and Patio 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 25 square feet. Allow Kärcher Deck and Patio Cleaner 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.
Cement Patios, Brick and Stone

Do not allow detergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high pressure in a sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle approxi- mately 3-6 inches from the cleaning surface.
