Does your business need a face lift? Pressure washer cleaning detergents safely and effectively remove grime from your building’s exterior walls, floors, and sidewalks, making the area look more inviting. If you are interested in a deep clean for your car wash, store, or barn this summer, 4 States Largo in Hooks and Texarkana, TX, recommends using a detergent with your electric pressure washer. They offer the following guide to adding a cleansing product to your routine.

Follow Manufacturer Instructions

To begin using a cleaning detergent, follow the standard operating procedures for your machine. Most recently manufactured electric pressure washers have detergent tanks affixed to them, so you don’t have to carry a separate bucket. This modern innovation has made cleaning with detergent much easier. Those who do not have a tank can use a five-gallon bucket purchased at a local home improvement store.

When the detergent is ready, replace your high-pressure hose nozzle with the low-pressure one, which works best with soap. Next, sweep the water and detergent mix over the area you want to clean, overlapping each pass like you would with a vacuum. 

Coat the surface, spraying upward to prevent streaking. After the detergent is applied, let it sit for up to 10 minutes without allowing it to dry. Keep an eye on the surface during the summer—the detergent will dry faster on hot, sunny days. 

Rinse the Surface

Shut off the system and squeeze the sprayer trigger to remove any remaining detergent from the line. Switch back to the high-pressure nozzle and clean the dirt and soap away, overlapping each pass with pure water. If you used the cleaning detergent near trees, flowers, or vehicles, rinse this area before you finish the project to prevent damage or contamination.

Adding a cleaning detergent to your pressure washer makes your commercial site look better than ever, helping customers and employees alike feel more welcome.
