If you’re running a power washing business—or just getting started—your pressure washing setup is more than just a few tools. It should be a complete system that helps you clean faster, do more jobs, and ultimately get paid more. Just like anything else, small upgrades can make a huge difference.

With the right accessories, you don’t just save time—you make your jobs easier, more effective, and more profitable.

Whether you're cleaning driveways, commercial buildings, or entire fleets, here are some of the most effective accessories to take your pressure washing setup to the next level.
 

Surface Cleaners

If you clean a lot of flat surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, or patios, a surface cleaner is a total game-changer.

These attachments use dual or quad-rotating spray nozzles under a round deck to clean surfaces evenly and up to 10x faster than a regular wand.

They also help reduce streaking and overspray, making them ideal for professional results with minimal mess. Most connect directly to your wand using a standard quick-connect fitting and work with machines up to 4000 PSI.
 

Turbo Nozzles

Also known as rotary nozzles, these tips spin a zero-degree stream in a tight circle—giving you the cleaning power of a pinpoint jet with the coverage of a wider fan.

They’re perfect for heavy-duty cleaning on concrete, brick, or heavily soiled surfaces. Just be careful with softer materials, as they can cause damage. Turbo nozzles are a solid addition to your kit, helping you get better results in less time.
 

Water Brooms

Water brooms work like surface cleaners, but instead of a round deck, they come in a bar form.

They spray wide fan patterns across large flat surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots, with less water bounce-back than standard nozzles. Most come with wheels for easy push-cleaning and attach directly to standard wands.

Use a water broom for quick coverage, while surface cleaners are better for deep, uniform cleaning.
 

Foam Cannons

Still using the old bucket and brush method? A foam cannon is a massive upgrade.

These tools mix water, soap, and air to create thick foam that clings to vehicles, siding, and equipment. Not only is this faster than manual application, but it also helps the detergent work longer—reducing the need for scrubbing.

Foam cannons are perfect if you wash houses and vehicles, or frequently pre-soak dirty surfaces. Just attach it to your wand, and you're good to go.
 

Telescoping Wands

If you want to up your game for house washing and roof cleaning, telescoping wands are a must.

These extendable tools let you reach gutters, rooflines, and second-story walls—all while staying safely on the ground. Some models reach up to 24 feet, eliminating the need for ladders or harnesses.
 

Undercarriage Cleaners

If you're cleaning vehicles, trailers, or heavy equipment, an undercarriage cleaner is a smart investment.

These wheeled tools roll underneath and spray powerful jets of water upward to blast away mud, salt, and grime from the bottom of vehicles. They're more efficient, provide a deeper clean, and save you from crawling under a truck and getting soaked.

Great for fleet washing and a smart way to scale up your pressure washing operation.
 

Quick-Connect Fittings

If you're still using standard threaded fittings, you’re wasting time every time you swap wands or accessories.

High-quality quick-connect couplers for your hoses, wands, and spray tips make setup and breakdown quick and easy. A fully quick-connect system might seem small, but over time, it saves hours—and headaches.

Most cost between $5 and $20 each, making it a no-brainer upgrade if you're working with multiple tools.
