If your pressure washer does not have a soap dispensing feature, you can add a soap nozzle to the end of the hose.

Tips for Using Soap with Your Pressure Washer

If you’re using a pressure washer to clean your car, sidewalk or deck, you may want to add soap to the mix. Soap can help loosen up tough dirt and grime, making it easier to remove. Here are a few tips for using soap with your pressure washer:

-Start with the pressure washer on a low setting, then increase the pressure if needed.

However, if soap is used too often, it can damage the pressure washer pump. Most manufacturers recommend only using soap with a pressure washer every 30 days or so.
