What is the best pressure washer with soap dispenser to buy? Our top recommendations for a spotless clean.

Alright, so the other day, the driveway and the car were looking absolutely tragic. I mean, layers of grime. I'd been putting it off, you know how it is. Then I remembered my pressure washer has one of those soap dispenser attachments. I'd used it once before, ages ago, and it was… okay. Figured I’d give it another shot because scrubbing by hand? No thanks, not anymore.

Figuring Out the Setup Again

First things first, I had to dig out the pressure washer from the shed. Then, locate that soap dispenser bottle. It’s one of those that clips onto the spray gun. I unscrewed the bottle, and of course, there was some old, crusty soap residue in there. Had to rinse that out properly. You don’t want old gunk mixing with new soap, creates a weird mess.

Then, the soap. I’ve got this car wash concentrate. The instructions usually say dilute it, like, a crazy amount. I mostly just eyeball it. Poured some in, added some water, gave it a little swirl. Not too much water, mind you, or it just sprays out like sad, soapy water instead of decent foam. Connected the dispenser to the lance. It just clicks on, pretty simple, thankfully. Then, hooked up the main hose to the spigot, and the pressure hose to the machine. Double-checked all connections because a flying high-pressure hose is not my idea of fun.

Let the Soaping Begin

Turned on the water, then flipped the switch on the pressure washer. It rumbled to life. Now, with my model, you have to use a specific low-pressure nozzle for the soap to actually get sucked through. I popped on the black nozzle, which is usually the soap one for most machines. Squeezed the trigger, and for a second, just water. Then, wooosh, here comes the soap! It wasn’t like super thick shaving cream foam you see in videos, more like a decent, wet, soapy layer. Good enough for me.

I went over the whole car first. Made sure to cover every panel. The trick is to let it sit for a bit. Don't let it dry, though, especially if it's sunny. That just makes more work. So, I let it dwell for maybe five minutes while I started on a particularly nasty patch on the driveway. Sprayed that down too. The soap clings okay, you could see it trying to break down the dirt.

Rinse and Results

After the soap had its moment, I switched nozzles. Took off the black soap nozzle and put on one of the green ones, a 25-degree I think. This is where the real cleaning happens. Started rinsing from the top down on the car. It’s satisfying, watching all that grime just sheet off. The driveway patch needed a bit more convincing, had to get the nozzle fairly close. It took a little longer than I thought it would, but it got there.

So, how did it turn out? The car looked a heck of a lot better. Not showroom perfect, there were a few stubborn spots I probably should have pre-treated or agitated with a brush, but for the effort? Pretty good. The driveway patch was noticeably cleaner. The soap dispenser definitely made it easier than trying to use a bucket and sponge for the initial soaping, especially for larger areas. It’s not magic, you still gotta do the work of rinsing properly, but it streamlines the first step.

Cleaning out the soap dispenser afterwards was a bit of a faff. Had to run clean water through it with the pressure washer to clear the lines, then rinse the bottle again. But hey, better than scrubbing for an hour. I’d say it’s a useful feature, as long as you don’t expect it to do ALL the work for you. It’s a helper, and a decent one at that.

  • Made the initial soap application faster.
  • Coverage was pretty even.
  • Less bending and scrubbing compared to bucket washing.

Yeah, I'll be using that soap dispenser again. It’s earned its keep for now.
