reduce your work area to small sections
and clean each section one at a time.
Allow the detergent to rest on the surface
for a few minutes and then rinse at high
pressure. Do not let the detergent dry on
the deck. Always clean from left to right
and top to bottom for best results. Rinse
at high pressure using the lance keeping
the tip of the spray nozzle 8-12 inches
from the surface.
Caution: For soft
woods, increase the distance from the
cleaning surface.

high pressure using the high pressure
lance in a sweeping motion keeping the
tip of the spray nozzle at least 8-10
inches away from the surface. Maintain a
further distance when using a direct
spray. Wipe surface for a polished finish.
