GENERAL WASHING
TECHNIQUES.

1. Hold spray nozzle approximately one foot from
the surface being cleaned. Spray at an angle to get
under the material and lift it off.

2. When washing large objects, use chemical
injector to apply detergent (see section “How to use
the chemical injector”). Start washing from the
bottom and work up. Better chemical economy and
faster results will be obtained by allowing the
chemical to set 5-10 minutes.
After washing, rinse from the top down.

3. Cleaning heavy dirt or material away with a hard
stream of clear water is recommended before using a
cleaning agent.
