- Empty the bin: It may seem obvious but make sure that the wheelie bin is completely empty before cleaning.
- Choose the right pressure setting: Nilfisk pressure washers come with adjustable pressure settings. Choose a setting that is suitable for your wheelie bin. Delicate materials like plastic or painted surfaces will require a lower pressure setting, while tough surfaces like metal or concrete can handle a higher pressure setting.
- Connect your pressure washer to a water supply: Connect your jet washer to the outdoor tap or water butt and add cleaning solution if desired. You can use a plastic and rattan detergent cleaner or a mixture of water and mild soap.
- Start cleaning: Begin cleaning the wheelie bin by spraying on the detergent and letting it dwell. Hold the washer at a distance of 15-30 cm from the surface and spray in a sweeping motion. Make sure to keep the nozzle moving to avoid damaging the surface.
- Rinse the bin: After you have coated the entire surface and left for 5 minutes, rinse the wheelie bin thoroughly with water. This will remove any remaining soap or cleaning solution and prevent streaking.
- Dry the bin: Leave the wheelie bin to air dry in the sun before storing it, to avoid damage.
- Rinse out your pressure washer: After you have finished cleaning your wheelie bin, don’t forget to rinse out any leftover water from your pressure washer and let it dry completely before stowing away.
