Cleaning Tips
Wood Decks: Rinse deck and surrounding
area with fresh water. If using detergent, fill
the detergent applicator bottle and apply to
the area being cleaned. For optimal results,
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 fan jet keeping the tip of
the spray nozzle 8-12 inches from the
surface.
Caution: For soft woods, increase
the distance from the cleaning surface.
Cars, Boats, & Motorcycles:
Wet down area
to be cleaned before applying detergent
with clean water. Fill the detergent
applicator bottle and apply to the area being
cleaned. To achieve best results, clean one
side at a time. Allow the detergent to rest on
the surface for a few minutes but do not let
it dry. Rinse at high pressure using the fan
jet 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.
