Portable pressure washers

Stevo_666

Can anyone recommend a good portable pressure washer suitable for use on bikes? I'm looking for something that can remove a fair bit of Welsh mud! Not interested in mains powered kit, just ones that run off a battery and preferably lighter sockets as well.

Ta in advance.

Pump up garden sprayer works a treat. I have also seen old fire extinguishers used, they can be pressurised with a track pump.

The Aldi petrol powered pressure washers are a common site on the Cyclocross scene, but I don't think they have them in at the moment.

I use a pump sprayer to clean mine never had any problems cheap enough online I use a 5L one which is plenty to wash the bike even if its caked.

MY next buy will be something like this:

I think I have seen it for less than £100 somewhere.

I also have a Pump up garden sprayer, which worked OK few times but now is leaking, so not enough pressure.

I was looking at one of those, looks very good but was put off by the price.

Might have a look at some cheapo garden pump sprays!

Grabbed this for £15 on offer at The Range a couple months back.

Works a treat if the dirt is fresh.. Takes a little more work with the scrubbing brush attachment if I've had to leave it overnight.

Another vote for the garden sprayers. Works fine on fresh mud for me

I find a bucket and a sponge pretty portable.. And light weight and doesn't spray grease out of bearings etc!

For the great pressure washer models, a pump up garden sprayer is really ideal. I've been using this for quite some time and in fairness it gives quality result.

You're a year late. I expect he has something sorted by now.
