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 specifi 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 surface 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 supplementary effect that cuts through dirt (especially by car washing).

5.2 Typical fi elds of application

Below you will find a description of a lot of cleaning tasks which can be solved by a pressure washer from Nilfi sk in association with accessories and detergents.

Task Accessories ‘Click & Clean’Cleaning method
CarCar nozzle, auto brush, underchassis nozzle, Foam sprayer, Car Combi Cleaner1. Apply Car Combi Cleaner with the foam sprayer. Always start from the bottom and work upwards. Let Car Combi Cleaner act for at least 5 min.2. Wash the car with the car nozzle, which has been optimized for quick and gentle cleaning of enamelled surfaces (the jet is wider and not so sharp). Start at the front of the car and work backwards to avoid water from penetrating by the door mouldings.3. Use the brush for removal of traffic film which is not removed by the nozzle. If the car is very dirty, apply Car Combi Cleaner again.4. Attach the undercarriage nozzle and clean undercarriage and wheel arches.5. Remove water from the surface of the car with the scraper on the car brush.Make sure that all grains of sand etc. have been removed before using the scraper. Wipe with a wash leather where the scraper cannot reach.
Rims, aluminiumRim brush, auto nozzle, atomizer, Alu CleanerApply Alu Cleaner with an automizer. Let it act for approx. 5 min. and wash with the rim brush. For steel rims, use Car Combi Cleaner. Use the foam sprayer and wash with rim brush.Be careful! The high pressure jet may damage the tyres.
Flagstones, concrete fl oors and other hard surfacesPowerspeed® nozzle, Stone & Wood Cleaner, Patio CleanerWash towards outlets or the like. On surfaces with foulings you may start by applying Stone & Wood Cleaner with the foam sprayer. Wash before the soap dries. Another more effective and quicker method is to use the Patio Cleaner. Thus you will also avoid splashes.
Garden furniture, woodWood Cleaner Garden brushApply Wood Cleaner and wash before the soap dries.NOTE: Use the garden brush to clean off the dirt.
Brickwork, Wood workPowerspeed® nozzle, Stone & Wood Cleaner, Patio CleanerSame method as for flagstones, but be careful - bad joints and wood may be damaged by high pressure. You may choose only to use the Tornado® nozzle. Adjust the distance (pressure) to the quality of the joints and the wood. Patio Cleaner can also be used on vertical surfaces.
GutterUnderchassis spray lanceWash the gutter with the nozzle. Always wash towards downpipes.Beware not to spray under the roofi ng.
Cleaning of drain pipes, outlets, down pipes etc.Tube cleanerPush the tube cleaner approx. 12 m (to mark) into a tube or drain and activate the trigger of the spray handle. The nozzle opening turning backwards will pull the cleaner through the tube. The nozzle will break down the „plug“ and fl ush the dirt backwards.
Rust, paintWater/sandblasting equipmentMount the water/sand blasting equipment and rust and paint is effi ciently and quickly removed. Beware not to damage the surface to be sandblasted.
GreenhouseTornado® PR nozzle brush, Stone & Wood CleanerWash with high pressure and maybe a brush. You may use Stone & Wood Cleaner to remove moss and algae.
Garden tools, lawn moverTornado® PR nozzle, Power-speed® nozzle, multiangle adaptor, Metal CleanerRinse the worst dirt off with the nozzle. Apply Metal Cleaner with the foam sprayer and let it act for approx. 5 min. Wash with the nozzle. You may use the multiangle adaptor for hard to get at areas to avoid splashing.
