Deck Cleaning

fresh water. If using Kärcher Deck and Patio
Cleaner, place detergent suction tube direct-
ly into cleaning solution and apply to surface
at low pressure. For best results, limit your
work area to smaller sections of approxi-
mately 25 square feet. Allow Kärcher Deck
and Patio Cleaner 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 clean-
ing result.
