On a budget? See the best value gear →Gas pressure washer (3000+ PSI)
Gas, not electric. A 3000 to 4200 PSI machine is the engine of the business and the only kind that handles real driveways and commercial work.
Check price on Amazon →Surface cleaner (16 to 20 inch)
The single best attachment you can buy. Cleans flat surfaces three to five times faster than a wand, with no streaks or zebra stripes.
Check price on Amazon →Downstream chemical injector
Applies soap and soft-wash mix through the machine, no separate pump needed. Essential the moment you offer house washing.
Check price on Amazon →Hose reel and extra pressure hose
More hose means fewer times you stop to move the machine. A reel keeps it from tangling and kinking out.
Check price on Amazon →Quick-connect nozzle tip set
The right tip for each job (0, 15, 25, 40 degree, and soap). Cheap, and you will use all of them.
Check price on Amazon →Telescoping wand
Reach second-story siding and high gutters safely from the ground instead of off a ladder.
Check price on Amazon →Gutter cleaning attachment
Adds a service you can upsell on nearly every job, for the price of a cheap accessory.
