So my pressure washer only projects soap maybe 5’. There are many hose attachments that are typically for car washing and their distance is about the same. Anyone know of a good tool for gets the soap up to the peak of the house? I’ve been checking Amazon and they all look like the car washing sprayers so far. I do have a garden sprayer tank. It is my fall back at this point. It should go high enough but the hose attachment seems like a better idea. ---

Do a search for “softwashing equipment”. ---

Pole brush. 3 6’ extensions will give you 18’ ---

Search Amazon for ‘power washer extension wands’. You’ll find extendable ones for \> $100 and snap together sections in the $20-$50 range. ---

I have a heavy duty extending paint rod, it looks like I’ll jury-rig the wand end of the pressure washer onto this pole to get the height I need. Nothing seems to throw foam/soap far enough that I want to pay for and this will hopefully keep me off a ladder at least. ---

> [@Dickerman](#): > > Do a search for “softwashing equipment”. “House cleaner garden hose” brings up quite a lot of options for hose end sprayers with various cleaning solutions; or just hose end sprayers on their own. I’ve got an old window washer container designed to go on a garden hose; it gets the second-story windows, some of which are about 20’ up at the top.
