Soak your traps first, then use a garden hose with sprayer . Won't do as good of job as a presser sprayer but better than nothing. Or put them in your dish washer but make sure the chains are wrapped up good an the misses won't be home for awhile.

Garden hose cold water on sprayer out garden hose not good enough ? More pressure ? Need soap or just cold water ? No one loan out one

Soak in buckets of soapy water for a few days. Then spray them off with the garden hose. Works fine. You are making it more difficult than it needs to be.

How did folks clean them before pressure washers?


I’ll loan you mine if you want to use it, stop by anytime.

I think I got my electric power washer for $80 at Harbor Freight not as strong as gas powered unit but lots cheaper.

To big bulky soak in buckets water an to many buckets needed an dirty buckets, I try an see garden sprayer does an maybe scrub brush but wet mess I don't want to be, go car wash lot heavy lifing I's also a hasssle an lots quarters

Blue Dawn in a big ole tote full of traps. Leave in the sun for a day or so then take out and spray off.

Wow Dave you always have a flimsy reason to ignore sensible answers in a way few can understand.

Yup. It's easier to make excuses than do it. I would think soaking them in storage totes with dish soap would work then rinse them a few times. It would require a little effort though. Looks like the weather is going to be nice for doing that job this weekend but we'll probably still be talking about it next week.

It be good idea but only thing in way totes I have is recycle tub which has holes in corner or garbage cans, big ones which are 45 gallon but not smell good inside, not go buy none, a pressure washer be something look into at harbor freight, bought a $5 garden hose sprayer last nite an see how works , probly soaking be better at first with soap but not go buy totes

Coonman , soak your traps first . I string them together with wire and put them all in a stream by my place . If you don't have that option ask the employees at the car wash if they have any of the big (55 gal size) plastic barrels that they get their wax for the car wash in . Here , when they are empty they throw them away . Cut the top off and you will have a big container to soak anything you want in . They will hold a lot of traps and are very sturdy . Pull them out after soaking give them a quick scrub with a brush and hose them off . Cheap and only takes a little effort .

Who’s paying $6.00.My buyer paid $4.00 and now he’s storing them until he can sell.Good luck with that.

Why buy a pressure washer just go and rent one for the week end.

coonman you have 1400 dollars on the way ,buy your self a pressure washer , call it a birthday present ,you will be able wash traps/truck anything you want , anytime you want right there at home , and no time limit like car wash place.

Don't buy a pressure washer, that could lead to a cracked manifold.

I'm thinking call them telemarketers up and buy the extended warranty.

Coonman, just borrow your buddies pressure washer and don't return it! Tell him it be got stolen. Or just make your girlfriend get out there and scrub them traps. Make sure she rinses the grime off when she is done.
