Master Your Soft Wash Applications with Precision

Lances, which connect the trigger of your soft wash machine to the nozzle, help you distribute just the right amount of chemicals to the surfaces you wash. When choosing a lance for your soft washing application, pay attention to: 

1. Lance length 
2. Lance material 
3. Lance flexibility 

What to Consider When Choosing a Soft Washing Lance

Surface Height and Distance: How high up or far away your surface is will determine the lance length you choose. For example, select a long lance for washing 2-3 story homes and a short lance for washing a tightly packed fleet of cars. 

Variable Pressure Lances (Dual Lances): If you want more control over the pressure from your nozzle, consider a dual lance. 

Flexibility: The right flexibility maintains optimal angling of your water jet in odd spaces. 

Material: Determine whether you prefer an aluminum, stainless steel or zinc-plated lance. Aluminum lances are light and thick, while stainless steel lances are heavy and thin. Zinc-plated lances are mid-weight, and they require detailed care to prevent rust and corrosion. 

Lance Level: Decide if you need a high-level lance, where the nozzle screws onto the top of a pole, or a ¼ stainless steel quick connect fitting, ideal for easy nozzle changes on low and mid-level lances. 

Pressure Rating: Choose a compatible lance for your machine’s pressure output. 

Manufacturer's Recommendations: Note any incompatible or recommended lances in your machine’s manual before purchasing a lance. 

Which Lance Length is Best for My Soft Washing Job? 

While most lances for soft washing are 36” and 48”, the right lance depends on the job at hand. For example, choose a 60” lance, a 72” lance or a telescoping lance when soft washing a two-story house from the ground. Opt for a 12” or flexible lance when cleaning an engine or working in a confined space. 

What Size Lance is Best for Fleet Washing?

For fleet washing, a 72” lance is best. The length lets you stay back from the water and reach the top of the vehicles. If you’re lacking space and trying to wash a row of parked vehicles, opt for a 36” or 48” lance to maximize maneuverability and reach. 

What Size Lance Should I Use for Decking or Flat Work? 

For decking or flat work, use a 48” lance. A 48” lance will give you enough reach and let you stand upright comfortably while maintaining enough distance from the surface of the nozzle.
