I spend $40 or more a spring at car wash with power wash wand, not really want buy pressure washer, would garden hose an good sprayer out outside petcock of house be good enough ? An scrub brush or wire brush ? Or is hot power wash soap car wash lots better ? Also not like going car wash at off hours noone around an traps spraslibgall over, I don't go fancy carwash an try this but old one where whoever goes, atv trailers or whatever an mud all over bay floor

That’s all I do. I put my traps in a bucket of water, let soak. Then I pull them out scrub with a wire brush and rinse them off.

Well that is what I did before I got a pressure washer.

$40.00 ???? No way. It cost me around $5.00 to do 40 or more traps. Lay them out In the bed of your truck get up there and get It done.

Easy to find $1 for so many minutes, do it all the time. Smaller singles car washes in towns. Like Beav said, have everything ready to go then put in the money.

Get the fire hose type end for the garden hose and some Dawn soap then spray away.

i have a pressure washer ,but I use it washing cars/trucks /tractors / and lot of other stuff not just traps,down side is keeping pressure washer in a warm place in cold weather.

If you have a dishwasher just put them in it works great. Start it forget it.

A dishwasher ? Noway, all them traps , in bucket, big traps won't fit, car wash all traps for $5-$6? I blown $10;@ crack, go though them an about 25 percent , need redone, at least $40 an that cheap carwash that didn't think say nothing , I have topper, fancy car wash might have trouble traps on floor if see, never had noone see, close bay doors an cheap car wash at off times

I'd say if the way you have been doing things works for you, keep doing it the same way. I bought a cheaper power washer last year at Harbor Freight for around $70.00 Using that worked great for me.

40 bucks will get you 2 1/2 hours here, quarter a minute.

Do you live in a city Coonman?

Garden hose off, soak the really dirty one's. Rinse off and wax them.
I only dye new traps, or ones that got the bare metal treatment.
Skunk smell traps get, lye, dye and wax treatment.

A smart water trapper uses the free water that is available that you set your trap in. When you pull, swish the trap will take most of the mud off. I could see different if you land trapped and had muddy caked traps. All comes down to laziness and procrastination is my guess.

40 bucks to wash off some traps? Man I need to buy a car wash if they're making crazy money like that.

Coonman- I let mine sit in 5 gal. buckets with soapy water, then rinse off. I have used the garden hose and sprayer like you said but now I have a cheap-o power washer.

Can't power wash mud off, get inside coils an blow off cake mud on springs or inside dps ? Not wanna be wash forever

Buy,or borrow a cheap pressure washer.
If you are going to use it for a lot of things around the house-buy one.
If you're like me and only use once a year or so,just borrow one from your neighbor or a buddy.

Confuisus say; man who spend $40 to wash 100 traps @ car wash will gladly accept $6 for coon skin then ask where can get more traps.

Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

I'm not drunk enough to figure that one out but buy a pressure washer and do the job yourself.
