Soap or cleaner for equipment

[504RP]

Anyone know of a good cleaner to power wash greasy equipment with ? Like round baler chains, sprockets, tractor's etc ? Something you can apply with a pressure washer and not damage its pump.

Simple Green Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser, Concentrate works pretty well.

Dawn dishwashing liquid, the original blue. We recently bought a new pressure washer and Simple Green is what's recommended, but the sales guy said Dawn works just as well - plus, I can't find Simple Green around here. BTW, also use the original Dawn when I give my dog a bath.

Dawn is hard to beat with just about anything

Works great when they get "skunked", too!

I ran over a skunk with an atv one time a few hours before I had to get on a plane. Stripped down and took a shower with Dawn and a paste mixture of peroxide and baking powder (or soda, can never remember which). Got most of it off, but still got some strange looks from some of the other passengers on the plane......

Use something that does not remove paint.

Baking powder. Always have it on hand for the inevitable skunk or dead carcass stench (WHY do they roll in that????)

Feels so good!

I personally never powerwash the baler. It's too easy to force water into places it isn't ment to be. I replace more bearings on powerwashed balers and mowers than I do on just hose washed stuff.

Leaf blower gets it done in most cases

After my kid aged out of showing cattle we kept all the cattle blowers. Have one in the shop and a couple in the barn for sale cattle. The one in the shop gets used almost every day blowing dirt and gunk off of something, including clothes before heading for the house.
