CLEANING TIPS

Deck Cleaning

(with or without detergent)

Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water. If using Kärcher Deck 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 Kärcher Deck Wash 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.

Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If using Kärcher House Wash, place deter- gent suction tube directly into cleaning solution and apply to surface at low pres- sure (for best results, limit your work area to sections of approximately 6 feet and always apply detergent from bottom to top). Allow Kärcher House Wash 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. If needed, use special Wash Brush Attachment to remove stubborn dirt.
