5.1 Techniques Efficient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few guide-
lines, combined with your own personal experience of specific clean-
ing tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can
increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. Here is some basic
information about cleaning.
1)
10 Options / model variants
Original instructions
NEPTUNE 4 FA
5.1.2 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 before rinsing but never let it dry on
the surface being cleaned.
5.1.3 Temperature Detergents are more effective at higher temperatures. Greases, oils
and fats can be broken down more easily at higher temperatures
also. Proteins can be cleaned at temperatures of around 60°C. Oils,
traffic film around 70°C, and grease can be cleaned at 80°C - 90° C.
5.1.4 Mechanical Effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical
effect may be required. Special lances and rotary or wash brushes
offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt.
5.1.5 High Water Flow or High pressure is not always the best solution and high pressure
High Pressure may damage surfaces. The cleaning effect also depends upon water
flow. Pressure levels of around 100 bar may be sufficient for vehicle
cleaning (in association with hot water). Higher flow levels give the
possibility to rinse and flush away large amounts of dirt easily.

5.2.2 Vehicle
These are merely several examples of cleaning tasks that can be solved by a pressure washer in asso-
