How to Use Cleaner Boss on Outdoor Surfaces
Follow these steps when using Cleaner Boss for outdoor cleaning:
1. Clear the Surface
Sweep or use a leaf blower to remove loose trash and debris from the area.
2. Shake Well
Shake well before use to distribute the ingredients evenly.
3. Dilute as Needed
For light to medium soils, dilute up to 1 part Cleaner Boss to 4 parts water. For heavy soils, reduce the dilution rate or use the cleaner at full strength.
4. Test a Small Area
Test Cleaner Boss on a small, inconspicuous area of the same surface before full application. Use the dilution and cleaning method planned for the project, then check the results before treating the entire area.
5. Apply the Cleaner
Thoroughly saturate the area with the prepared Cleaner Boss solution. For vertical surfaces, use a pump-up garden sprayer and apply from the bottom upward.
6. Allow 5–20 Minutes
Allow the solution to work for 5–20 minutes, depending on the level of soil.
7. Rinse the Surface
Remove the loosened soils using a high-pressure garden hose or power washer.
8. Scrub or Reapply if Needed
Heavier soils may require scrubbing or agitation. Stubborn stains may need an additional application.
