Introduction
A pressure washer is a useful tool to have around the house. But if you’ve ever used one before, you know that it can be a little bit messy. That’s why it’s important to make sure your machine stays clean so that it doesn’t drip all over your driveway or patio when you’re done using it. This project will show you how to make homemade pressure washer detergent so that you can keep your equipment squeaky-clean without having to pay big bucks for expensive cleaners at the store!
Fill the pressure washer detergent tank with water.
Once you have your detergent, fill up the pressure washer with water. You should use about two cups per gallon of water in order to get the best results.
The next step is to make sure that you have the right nozzle for your job at hand. Each nozzle has a different function and will work better or worse depending on what type of surface cleaner you are using and how much pressure you want. If there is too little pressure coming out of one nozzle, then it may not clean properly; however, if there is too much pressure coming through another nozzle, then it could damage some surfaces like tiles or grout lines in between bathroom tiles.
Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose household cleaner.

Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose household cleaner.
A measuring cup is ideal, but a funnel will work just fine if you don’t have one.
Add 1/2 cup of laundry detergent or all-purpose cleaner.
To make your homemade pressure washer detergent, add 1/2 cup of laundry detergent or all-purpose cleaner to the container. Be sure to choose a laundry detergent that is safe for use on pressure washers and free of dyes, perfumes and phosphates. It’s also important that you use one that doesn’t contain bleach or other chemicals that could harm your pressure washer’s pump or seals.
Fill the container the rest of the way with water.
Once the detergent is dissolved in the water, add it to your pressure washer.
You can fill your container with water from a hose or bucket. If you have a watering can, you could use that as well—it’s up to you!
Choose the right nozzle for your needs.
You should select the right nozzle for your needs. A fan nozzle will cover a large area, while a soap nozzle is good for small areas. A brass brush nozzle removes dirt and grime, while high pressure nozzles remove paint and sealants. Low-pressure nozzles are great for cleaning windows because they don’t leave streaks behind.

There are many reasons why someone would want to make their own pressure washer detergent, but the most common are cost savings and convenience.
-
Cost savings is perhaps the most obvious reason for making your own homemade pressure washer detergent. Pressure washers are expensive, especially when compared with home made options like this one. Homemade cleaners can be as cheap or as expensive as you want them to be depending on what ingredients you use and how much of each ingredient you choose add into your mix.

Convenience is another important factor in deciding whether or not making your own power washer detergent is right for you! If you don’t have time or energy available then perhaps buying from a store would be better suited for the situation at hand (or maybe both?).
