CLEANING TIPS
Recommendations
• Before cleaning any surface an
inconspicuous area should be cleaned to
test spray pattern and distance for
maximum cleaning results.
• If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping,
use extreme caution as pressure washer
may remove the loose paint from the
surface.
• When using on surfaces which might come
in contact with food, flush surfaces with
plenty of drinking water.
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 approximately 25
square feet. Allow 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.
House Siding

Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If
using Kärcher Pressure Wash, place

sections of approximately 6 feet and always
apply detergent from bottom to top). Allow
Pressure 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

surface.
