If damage or discoloration is noted
from the detergent, do not use the
detergent when cleaning.
First, pass over the area with a light
2.
cleaning. Then clean the area more
thoroughly.
For a vertical or sloped surface:
3.
Wash from the top down. •
If possible, direct the stream of •
water in the same direction as the
slope towards a drainage area.
This will enable better drainage
and, therefore, better cleaning.
For a flat surface: 4.
If a thin layer of water accumu- •
lates on the surface, periodically
use a stream of water to direct the
water toward the drainage.
After the major cleaning is done,
•
sweep the surface with the stream
of water to help direct loose debris
toward the drainage.
If detergent is to be applied, use only 5.
pressure washing detergent. Other
detergents may clog or damage the
Pressure Washer. Apply the deter-
gent at low pressure. Allow the deter-
gent several minutes to sit and soak
into the work surface. This will im-
prove cleaning efficiency. Make sure
to rinse off all detergent completely.
Hold the Spray Gun (6) at about a
6.
45° angle and steadily sweep the
water stream back and forth. If a
severe, head-on angle is used, dirt
may imbed in the surface being
cleaned. Follow a steady, consistent
pace during cleaning. This will help
prevent stripes or discoloration
afterwards. If streaking or uneven
cleaning is noted at the end of a
project, go over the edges of the
streaks with a wide fan pattern to
help blend these lighter areas in.
If several different surfaces are to be
7.
cleaned, make sure not to damage
any of the less solid surfaces while
attempting to clean the harder ones.
This is especially a concern when
cleaning tile and grout, bricks and
mortar, or stones and mortar.
If wood is being cleaned, make
8.
sure not to damage it. Pressure
washed wood will usually require
resurfacing (sanding) and re-coating
with a surface protectant (wood,
stain, varnish) after it has dried. Try
to avoid leaving water on a wooden
surface, as doing so can harm the
surface.
