Water: Start with a gallon of water in a large bucket. Laundry Detergent: Add a cup of eco-friendly laundry detergent. Bleach or Vinegar: Depending on the need, add a cup of oxygen bleach or white vinegar. Never mix bleach and vinegar.

If you choose to use Dawn in your pressure washer, proper dilution is crucial. A general recommendation is to mix no more than a few ounces of Dawn with a gallon of water to prevent excessive foaming and reduce the risk of pump damage.
The way to do this is to simply; add the ratio numbers together, and then divide the sum of the ratio numbers by the total ounces. For example: a dilution ratio of 4:1 in a 32oz bottle. Take the ratio numbers of 4:1 and add them together, 4+1=5.
Vinegar is not only a staple kitchen condiment, but it's also a natural pressure washer cleaner. Its acidic nature is so powerful that it can dissolve grime, grease, and mineral deposits.
