Step 1: Add water to Sprayer
Fill the sprayer halfway with water. Once halfway, shake or agitate well.
Step 2: Add in tank cleaner solution
Paying attention to the label is key so you add in the right amount for your spray tank. Different products have different mixing ratios.
Step 3: Mix and Agitate
Agitate the tank with the tank cleaner and water inside so that it mixes up well. Do this for about 45 seconds to a minute long.
Step 4: Empty the Tank
Spray out the contents of the tank. If you’re using a pump sprayer, pump it well so there is enough pressure and spray. The cleaning solution will clean out the tank, hose and wand.
Step 5: Rinse and repeat.
Fill the empty sprayer back up with water and spray again about 2 more times.
