5 Fields of application and working
methods
5.1 General Effi cient high presure cleaning is achieved by following a few
guidelines, combined with your own personal experience of spe-
cifi c cleaning 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 Detergent and foam Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that
the chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents
are applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in
order to avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in
higher concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent
work for several minutes before rinsing but never let it dry on the
surface being cleaned. Note: It is important that the detergents
do not dry up. Otherwise the surfac that has to be cleaned can be
da maged.
5.1.2 Mechanical effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical
effect may be required. Special wash brushes offer this supple-
mentary effect that cuts through dirt (especially by car washing).
