Cleaning a Patio or Driveway


Prepare Area:
Remove all furniture items and vehicles from the area. Using the high-pressure setting on the Vario Spray Wand (1), clear away any leaves or loose dirt.

Apply Detergent:
Using the low-pressure setting on your Vario Spray Wand (2), apply Kärcher’s environmentally friendly Deck & Patio Cleaner detergent to the surface and allow it to soak for 3-5 minutes. The detergent will break down grease and oil residues for more effective cleaning.

Power Clean:
Attach the T-Racer Surface Cleaner to your pressure washer and adjust the nozzle to the desired height. Working away from the pressure washer, begin cleaning in a continuous side-to-side sweeping motion. Keep the T-Racer moving constantly at all times to prevent uneven cleaning. Use the Dirtblaster™ Rotary Spray Wand (3) to clean steps, corners and other tight spots. Warning! Avoid lingering in one spot to prevent the Dirtblaster’s powerful jet from damaging surfaces.

Rinse Surface:
Give the area a final rinse using the high-pressure setting on the Vario Spray Wand (1). This will flush away any remaining detergent or dirt.

 

 
(1) If your Kärcher pressure washer came equipped with a Quattro-Nozzle Spray Wand, use its high-pressure fanjet setting for similar results.

(2) If your Kärcher pressure washer came equipped with a Quattro-Nozzle Spray Wand, use its low-pressure detergent setting for similar results.

(3) If your Kärcher pressure washer came equipped with a Quattro-Nozzle Spray Wand, use its Dirtblaster™ setting for similar results.

For optimum results, always test a small inconspicuous area before starting a cleaning project with your pressure washer.
