CLEANING TIPS
WARNING: ALWAYS TEST THE WATER JET IN A FREE AREA CLEAR OF PERSONS AND OBJECTS BEFORE SPRAYING ON
THE INTENDED CLEANING SURFACE.
Wood and vinyl decking
Rinse the cover and the surrounding area with clean water. If you are using detergent, fill the detergent tank and apply
it to the area being cleaned at low pressure. For best results, reduce your work area to smaller sections and clean each
section one at a time. Let the detergent sit on the surface for a few minutes, then rinse with high pressure. DO NOT
ALLOW THE DETERGENT TO DRY ON THE SURFACE. Always wipe from left to right and top to bottom for best
results. Rinse at high pressure with the fan spray keeping the tip of the spray nozzle a minimum of 15cm to 25cm from
the cleaning surface. Keep a greater distance from the cleaning area when using a direct spray. Caution: For softer
woods, increase the distance from the cleaning area.
Cement, Stone and Brick Patios
Rinse the area with clean water. If you are using detergent, fill the reservoir and apply it to the area being cleaned at
low pressure. High pressure rinse using a fan spray in a sweeping motion keeping the tip of the nozzle a minimum of
15cm to 25cm from the cleaning surface. Keep a greater distance from the cleaning area when using a direct spray.
Cars, Boats and Motorcycles
Rinse with clean water. If using detergent, fill reservoir and apply to area being cleaned at low pressure. For best
results, clean one side at a time. Let the detergent sit on the surface for a few minutes, but don't let it dry. High
pressure rinse using the fan jet in a sweeping motion keeping the nozzle at least 20cm from the cleaning surface. Keep
a greater distance from the cleaning area when using a direct spray. Dry the surface to obtain an optimal finish.
