Scotts® Outdoor Cleaner Multi Purpose Formula

Use Scotts® Outdoor Cleaner Multi-Purpose Concentrate to easily clean outdoor surfaces with a power washer, tank sprayer, or bucket.

Using a Power Washer (With a Chemical Chamber)

• Fill the chemical chamber with undiluted concentrate. (Be sure to refer to your power washer manual for specific chemical use instructions.)
• With a Low-Pressure Soap Nozzle, apply cleaner until wet.
• Let the solution set. Use the High-Pressure Nozzle to rinse the surface. Foaming may continue after rinsing but will naturally dissolve. 
• After cleaning, do not store cleaner in the chemical chamber. Fill the chemical chamber with water and flush using Low-Pressure Soap Nozzle.

Using Power Washer (Without a Chemical Chamber)

• Add the cleaner and water into the power washer tank.
  • Add 1/2 gallon of concentrate with 1/2 gallon of water to clean dirty areas.
  • Add 1 qt. (32 oz.) concentrate to 3 qts. (96 oz.) of water to clean areas and material that are only moderately dirty.
  • Add 1.5 cups (12 oz.) of concentrate to 13.5 cups (108 oz.) of water for lightly soiled areas.
  1. Apply the cleaner solution directly to the surface.
  2. Let the solution set. Rinse area with High-Pressure Nozzle. Foaming may continue after rinsing but will naturally dissolve.

   

  Applying with a Tank Sprayer

  • In all cleaning methods, the applied solution should sit for 5 to 10 minutes. (The optimal time will vary depending on the surface and amount of dirt.) During this time, if the surface appears to be drying, re-wet as needed prior to scrubbing.

• Add the desired amount of cleaner and water into a clean tank sprayer. 

  • Add 1/2 gallon of concentrate with 1/2 gallon of water to clean dirty areas.
  • Add 1 qt. (32 oz.) of concentrate to 3 qts. (96 oz.) of water to clean areas and material that are only moderately dirty.
  • Add 1.5 cups (12 oz.) of concentrate to 13.5 cups (108 oz.) of water for lightly soiled areas.
  1. Apply the cleaner solution directly to the surface to be cleaned.
  2. Let the solution set. If the area starts to dry, reactivate cleaner by scrubbing with a wet brush, or lightly spray with water. For best results, scrub as needed. Lightly rinse with water. Foaming may continue after rinsing but will naturally dissolve. 
  3. DO NOT store any remaining product in the tank sprayer. Rinse the sprayer out thoroughly after use.

   

  Cleaning with a Bucket

  • For general cleaning and brightening, add 1.5 cups (12 oz.) of concentrated cleaner to 13.5 cups (108 oz.) of water. For heavily soiled areas, add 4 cups (32 oz.) of concentrated cleaner to 12 cups (96 oz.) of water. Apply solution to the surface to be cleaned.
  • Let solution set. If the area starts to dry, reactivate cleaner by scrubbing with a wet brush, or lightly spray with water. For best results, scrub as needed. Lightly rinse with water. Foaming may continue after rinsing but will naturally dissolve.
   

  A Note on Timing

   

  In all cleaning methods, the applied solution should sit for 5 to 10 minutes. (The optimal time will vary depending on the surface and amount of dirt.) During this time, if the surface appears to be drying, re-wet as needed prior to scrubbing.
