5 Applications and methods
Effi cient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few guide-
lines, combined with your own personal experience of specifi c clean-
ing tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can
increase the effi ciency of your pressure washer. Here is some basic
information about cleaning.
5.1.1 Soaking Encrusted or thick layers of dirt can be loosened or softened up by a
period of soaking. This is for example an ideal method within agricul-
ture – for example, within pig sties. The ideal soaking method can be
achieved by using foam or simple alkaline detergent. Let the product
lie on the dirty surfaces for about 30 minutes before pressure washing.
The result will be a much quicker high pressure cleaning process.
