Using Detergents With Your Pressure Washer
There are several detergents that can be used with the Mi-T-M pressure washer to boost its cleaning power. An all-purpose cleaner is perfect for heavily soiled areas around the outside of your home.
Instructions
Steps for electric-powered pressure washers:
- 1To apply detergent using an electric powered pressure washer, first prepare the electric pressure washer for standard operation.
- 2When using detergents, you must first connect the low-pressure black nozzle to the gun and wand assembly.
- 3Locate the clear detergent pick up hose that is already attached to the pressure washer pump.
- 4Simply submerge the end of this hose into the bottle of detergent and make sure it stays submerged during your washing process.
- 5After attaching the hose to the gun assembly, you're ready to start cleaning with detergent.
Steps for gas-powered pressure washers:
- 1Prepare the gas pressure washer for standard operation. However, before connecting the high-pressure hose, insert the detergent injector to the quick coupler mounded on the pump.
- 2Connect the high-pressure hose to the water inlet on the pump and insert the clear detergent pickup hose into the bottle of detergent.
- 3Make sure the hose stays submerged during your washing process.
- 4After attaching the hose to the gun assembly, you're ready to start cleaning with detergent.
Steps for cleaning with detergent:
