5 Fields of application and working

methods

5.1 General Efficient high presure cleaning is achieved by following a few guide-lines, combined with your own personal experience of specificcleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly cho-sen, can increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. Here issome basic information about cleaning.

5.1.1 Detergent and foam Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that thechemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents areapplied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in orderto avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in higherconcentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for

several minutes before rinsing but never let it dry on the surface be-ing cleaned. Note: It is important that the detergents do not dry up.Otherwise the surfac that has to be cleaned can be damaged.

5.1.2 Mechanical effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanicaleffect may be required. Special wash brushes offer this supplemen-tary effect that cuts through dirt (especially by car washing).
