Cleaning sounds simple, but in PowerWash Simulator 2, it’s anything but. The sequel to one of the most relaxing games ever created brings back that satisfaction of cleaning. It also introduces new tools, features, and upgrades that can easily overwhelm both newcomers and veterans.
Between the new soap system, washer brands, and the new powerful spinning surface cleaner, there’s a lot to understand before you can become a top-tier virtual cleaner. To help you get started, this guide covers the best PowerWash Simulator 2 Tips and Tricks.
Use the Soap
Soap was a paid consumable in the first game. That’s no longer the case in PowerWash Simulator 2. Soap is free, and it works on everything. You still need to apply it thoughtfully. It melts through grime and graffiti, and you can easily clean large areas quickly with wide nozzles instead of wasting time with a narrow one.
Stick to One Washer Brand
PowerWash Simulator 2 introduces two unique washer lines: Prime Vista and Urban X. The Prime Vista comes with balanced machines, perfect for players who prefer using soap and wider coverage.
On the other hand, the Urban X features high-pressure sprayers for those who value raw power and precision over coverage.
The smartest strategy is to choose one brand early and commit fully. Constantly switching between brands wastes money and delays access to stronger washers. If you stick to a single upgrade path, you can get professional-grade equipment faster and save thousands along the way.
Sell Old Equipment Instead of Hoarding It
Selling old equipment is a nice way to get instant cash, which you can use to upgrade your setup further. All of your unused washers are only taking up space. PowerWash Simulator 2 lets you sell old gear for full price, making it one of the easiest ways to fund upgrades.
After upgrading to a new washer, sell the old one and use that money for new attachments or extensions.
You can also repurchase your old equipment later if you want to get the Maxed Out Achievement.
Grab the SwirlForce Surf Ace As Soon As Possible
As a new power washer, you’ll quickly realize how long it takes to clean huge, flat areas like walls and floors with just your standard nozzle. That’s why your first big purchase should be the SwirlForce Surf Ace. Instead of tedious back-and-forth sprays, this spinning tool evenly scrubs wide areas in record time.
While it’s ineffective for long-range jobs, it’s unbeatable for parking lots, floors, and walls. The SwirlForce Surf Ace costs only $500, making it relatively cheap. After you complete your first few jobs, you should easily have enough money to purchase one.
Once you own it, you can buy optional upgrades to make it even better: larger cleaning heads (like the 20-inch one) to cover more ground, and extensions to help you reach high spots without climbing a ladder.
Clean With A Proper Plan
Bigger cleaning jobs like the Gas Station can feel intimidating, especially for solo players. Randomly spraying in every direction might feel productive at first, but it’s one of the slowest ways to work. A smart, structured plan is far more effective.
Clean quick items first, benches, bins, signs, and tires, for quick progress. Then, work from the ground up. Begin with floors, then move to walls, then roofs. This prevents dirty runoff from ruining already cleaned areas.
Make sure to follow the Task List for your current job. It breaks every job into smaller objectives and tracks what’s left, making it easier to stay focused and organized.
Use the Right Attachments to Clean Like a Pro
One of the biggest time-savers in PowerWash Simulator 2 is learning to use the right attachment for the job. Don’t waste time trying to clean a large area with a narrow jet. For stubborn dirt, switch to the powerful, spinning Turbo Nozzle, while the Adaptable Nozzle is perfect if you hate swapping because it lets you instantly change your spray width.
You can use the Long or Extra-Long Extensions to easily reach high walls and roofs, keeping you safely on the ground. Switching smartly keeps your job flowing smoothly and makes the work feel less repetitive.
Make Lots of Money
As with most simulator games, money drives your progress in PowerWash Simulator 2. You need money to buy washers, attachments, and upgrades, so earning it efficiently is important.
The smartest money strategy is to focus on the Story Mode jobs. Finish the easy, smaller jobs first. The money from those quick tasks helps you build up your bank account faster, letting you buy the better equipment you need to take on the huge, messy projects.
