Product description
Dosage
When using the ejector, the canister is connected to the garden hose, and the dosage is applied automatically. Dosed from 1:10–1:30. For very dirty surfaces, increase the dosage and contact time or use mechanical scrubbing.
Recommended water temperature: 20–50°C. For extremely dirty areas or for stain removal, Gjøco House Wash can be applied undiluted.
Application
The substrate must be dry before treatment. Apply with a pressure washer, pump sprayer, broom/brush with an extension pole, sponge, or other suitable equipment. Pressure washers should be used with caution on wooden facades. Do not apply in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces. Ensure that the cleaning agent does not dry on glass or other surfaces being cleaned, as this may cause permanent stains. Avoid spraying Gjøco House Wash directly on plants. Rinse any spills away with water. Avoid getting the cleaning agent on self-cleaning windows, as it may damage the cleaning layer.
Apply Gjøco House Wash with even movements from bottom to top and ensure all surfaces are moistened to avoid streaking. Avoid applying the cleaner to dry surfaces. Let the product work for 3–5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water from bottom to top. Finish with a thorough rinse from top to bottom.
Storage
The containers must be kept tightly closed to prevent spills and drying out. The product must be transported and stored upright, in a dry place, and protected from frost.
Waste management
The product must not be poured into drains or into nature but must be delivered to a recycling center. Empty, clean, and dry plastic packaging can be disposed of as plastic waste.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which surfaces is the House Wash suitable for? The product is suitable for house walls, wooden facades, rendered facades, metal facades, fences, terraces, and garden furniture. Works on most exterior surfaces and can also be used indoors—wipe off with a damp cloth in that case.
How long does the cleaning effect last? With regular annual washing, the paint stays fresh longer, and the facade is protected against algae, black mold, and dirt that would otherwise break down the surface layer.
How much do I need? Expect 1 liter of cleaning solution per approx. 15 m². A 1-liter bottle is therefore sufficient for a smaller facade or a couple of terraces, while the 4-liter packaging is suitable for larger projects.
At what temperature can I use the product? Use at temperatures above 0°C for best results. Optimal effect is achieved at +20°C or more. Do not use in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
Do I need to pretreat the surface? The surface should be dry before treatment. Extremely dirty surfaces may require mechanical scrubbing or increased dosage and contact time.
Is the product eco-friendly? Yes, Gjøco House Wash is based on biodegradable raw materials. Never pour the product into drains or nature—take it to a recycling center. Empty, clean packaging should be disposed of as plastic waste.
Can I wash it myself or do I need a professional? The product is easy to use for home use. Use an ejector connected to a garden hose, a pump sprayer, or a broom/brush with an extension pole. Pressure washers work, but should be used with care on wooden facades.
