Working with Detergents
When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks
can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning with
detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.

WARNING!
Use only detergents specifically designed for
use with pressure washers, such as Sun Joe
WASH (SPX-HDC1G), Sun Joe
(SPX-FCS1G), or Sun Joe
®
APC1G). DO NOT USE household detergents, acids, alkaline
solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or industrial
grade solutions. These could damage the pressure washer.
Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare the
cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
1. Gently pull the foam cannon bottle out of its storage
position (Fig. 17).

2. Remove the cap. Fill the bottle or mix as recommended by
detergent instructions (Fig. 18), and replace it back on the
unit. Secure the cap back into place.
