Pressure Washer Soap & Detergents

Discover the Power of Hotsy Soap

If you're tired of spending valuable time cleaning with your pressure washer only to be left with unsatisfactory results, the issue could be the soap* you're using. Regular pressure washer soaps may not have the necessary components to cut through stubborn grime and road film. Luckily, Hotsy has a complete line of specially-formulated pressure washer soap to work with both hot and cold-water pressure washers. Using high-quality pressure washer soap not only makes your cleaning more efficient, but it also extends the lifespan of your equipment.

Many of our soaps contain advanced-formula Hotsy Continuous Clean (HCC) additives. This additive works to prevent hard water and soap build-up in your equipment. HCC also contains rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect the metal surfaces being washed.

Need a Reason to Start Using Hotsy Soap? We’ll Give You 6!

For all types of pressure washers, the preferred choice is Hotsy soap. Why? Because Hotsy soap is formulated by experienced chemists who have a thorough understanding of pressure washer systems, as well as cleaning applications. Here are more important reasons why you should choose Hotsy soap:

1. Provides the Most Effective Cleaning

Unlike so-called "economy" products, Hotsy soap is designed specifically for high-pressure washers, high-temperature cleaning. Their effectiveness actually improves as temperatures increase! Inferior soap begins to decompose under high temperature and pressure. The resultant precipitants form deposits that are bad news for the equipment you’re cleaning as well as the pressure washer or parts washer itself.

2. Economical Operation

Hotsy soap is super concentrated. They’re designed to blend with water in ratios up to 128 parts of water to 1 part of detergent. Compare that to economy brands and you’ll see why Hotsy soap goes a long, long way, and keeps your operating costs low.

Hotsy also gives you a choice of economical ways to buy soap, from 5-gallon pails to 55-gallon drums to Bulk Paks that provide up to 200 gallons of on-site storage.

3. Preserves your Equipment Investment

Using inferior "economy" soap can ultimately cost you plenty in pressure washer and parts washer maintenance and replacement. That's because these products allow lime and soap to build up inside of system components and pipes in hard-water environments. The result is reduced performance, higher maintenance costs, and shorter equipment life.

Most Hotsy soaps contain exclusive Hotsy Continuous Clean (HCC) additives, which help prevent lime and soap buildup. In addition, they are fortified with corrosion inhibitors and de-scalers that not only help protect the internal parts of your equipment, but also help protect metal surfaces of the equipment you wash.

4. Environmentally Friendly

You can use Hotsy soaps with complete confidence. They’re safe for your equipment, safe around personnel, and they have no unpleasant odors. OSHA Material Safety Data Sheets are available for all Hotsy soap.

*What's the difference between soap and detergent?

You might hear the terms "soap" and "detergent" used interchangeably. Well, which is correct? Detergent actually refers to the cleaning compounds derived from the saponification of fats. That's a technical way of saying that it's the correct term. However, more people in the cleaning industry refer to this type of product as pressure washer soap, and therefore that's how we refer to it. When it's all said and done, Hotsy soap (or detergent) is a helpful component to take your cleaning to the next level.
