Powerwash Simulator Trophy Guide

To earn 5 Stars on a job, all you have to do is clean everything 100%. Once you have done this for one job, the Starting Out trophy will unlock unavoidably.

Alternatively, you could technically earn this trophy by earning a total of 5 stars across several jobs, but there wouldn’t be much point in doing this at all.

The Raking It In trophy will unlock unavoidably once you have 50 stars. At 5 stars per Job, that means reaching 100% cleaned in at least 10 Campaign Jobs.

Earning 100 Stars in Powerwash Simulator’s Career Mode will mean earning all 5 stars in at least 20 different Campaign Jobs. Once you have done so, the Big Business trophy will unlock.

The Super Star trophy is your end goal from the Powerwash Simulator Campaign. Earning 150 Stars is going to mean you earning 5 stars on at least 30 Campaign Jobs by reaching 100% clean in every job.

The “As It Was Foretold…” trophy will unlock when you have reached 5 stars on every single level in the game. There are 38 Levels and a total of 190 Stars to collect throughout the campaign in total.

Just 100% clean every job as and when it gets added to the Career menu until you’ve completed every level. The trophy will unlock when you reach 100% completion of your final Career job.

To unlock the Powerful Pressure Purist trophy, you must complete the Van-cleaning job without ever using any nozzle other than the Red Nozzle. The Red Nozzle is the highest-pressure nozzle you can access without attachments but has a very fine laser-like range. Though this task is not difficult, it will take time due to the small nozzle.

Due to the meticulous nature of this trophy, it makes a lot of sense for you to attempt one of the game’s hardest trophies here; Good Dings to Come.

As long as you keep your fingers clear of the + buttons so as to not change Nozzle Type by accident, you should have no difficulty completing this task with nothing but the Red Nozzle. All it will take is patience and vigilance. Remember to make use of the button to find specks of dirt you’ve left behind.

If you accidentally cause a “ding,” you will need to first complete this job in Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play, where you can replay it an infinite number of times.

When you load up the Backyard level, you will start on a pathway made up of Stepping Stones and gravel. To unlock the “First Steps” trophy, you just need to clean these 12 Stepping Stones before anything else.

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before any of the 12 Stepping Stones then you will have missed your chance for this trophy.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the Backyard job once on Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the 12 stepping stones have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

In the Playground level, one of the first things you’ll notice is the large, purple, stegosaurus-themed slide. Nearby, there is also a Soccer Ball.

To unlock the StegoScore trophy, you need to align the Soccer Ball with the slide portion of the Stegosaurus (its head) and then use a high-power pressure washer to push it up the slide.

You probably won’t have a Nozzle or Washer powerful enough for this when you first play the PlayGround, so it would be totally fair to leave this trophy and clean it up later via Free Play, especially since you can just load up the job, earn the trophy, and then leave without finishing.

For this trophy, I used the Prime Vista 3000 with its Red Nozzle. I pushed the ball towards the front of the Stego gently, then waited for it to cross in front of the stego before blasting it full-force up the slide.

This is one of the more annoying trophies to miss, because you will need to complete the whole job to unlock the trophy. If you mess it up, it means cleaning the whole damn bungalow all over again, so try to be careful!

Essentially, while cleaning the house, don’t “ding” any Gutters until you have cleaned everything else and they are the only thing left.

A good idea would be to highlight the gutters via your tablet so that they slowly blink at you throughout the job. This will serve as a constant reminder not to clean them and hopefully help you avoid accidentally causing them to “ding”.

If you make it to the end of the job without fully cleaning any of the Gutters, you can go around the building finishing them all in order to secure the Gutted trophy.

If you mess up and miss the trophy, you can replay the mission as many times as you like from “Free Play” when it has been completed at least once in the Campaign.

On the “Detached House” job, you will spawn in on the Driveway. To unlock the “Pave the Way” trophy, start this job by cleaning the Driveway, the Driveway edges, and the pathway leading to the house before cleaning anything else.

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before any of the three items listed above, then you will have missed your chance for this trophy.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the Detached House job once on Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the path and driveway have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

This is one of the more annoying trophies to miss as you will need to complete the entire job if you want to unlock the trophy. If you mess up, it means cleaning the entire shoe house all over again, so try to be careful!

Essentially, while cleaning the house, don’t “ding” the Sole of the House until you have cleaned everything else and it is the only thing left. This is not too hard to do because the sole is such a big part of the house, just take caution when cleaning along the bottoms of the walls.

If you make it to the end of the job without fully cleaning the Sole, you can go around the building finishing it off in order to secure the Sole Task trophy.

If you mess up and miss the trophy, you can replay the mission as many times as you like from “Free Play” when it has been completed at least once in the Campaign.

Like many jobs, the Fire Station job has a large scaffolding structure nearby, which you can use to reach and clean the higher areas you need to clean.

Well, if you want to unlock the Tall Order trophy, you will need to clean the entire Fire Station without ever stepping foot on the scaffolding. Be extremely careful not to step on it by accident and give it a wide berth when you’re passing by.

You will need to make full use of the Stepping Stool and Ladder tools that are on the ground in the area. You can press to pick them up and again to place them. The ladder can only be placed in designated spots.

For everything else, you will need to be resourceful. Use long powerwasher extensions and your ability to jump so that you can reach and clean every inch of the station without once taking advantage of the nearby scaffolding.

The tower at the back is the hardest part to clean without scaffolding. You will need to use long-reach high-power washers and extensions from the ground, awkwardly hang out of the windows, gingerly peer over the edges from the top, and even jump off while spraying to eventually clean the whole thing.

If you mess up and miss the trophy, you can replay the mission as many times as you like from “Free Play” when it has been completed at least once in the Campaign.

In the Skate Park level, there is a large bowl decorated like a watermelon up on a raised section of the park. Inside that bowl, there’s a Soccer ball.

To unlock the “Watermelon Shot” trophy, you must push the ball out of the bowl. You will need to use your highest-pressure Washer & Attachment combo to provide enough force.

I personally used the Urban X U2 Pressure Washer without an Extension but with the Urban X U2 Turbo Nozzle.

It doesn’t matter if the ball falls back into the bowl, as long as it comes out of it for a brief moment, as the trophy will unlock immediately.

To unlock the “I Can See Clearly Now” trophy, you need to clean the 6 Windows, 2 Wing Mirrors, and Windshield before anything else while doing the Fire Truck job.

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before any of the parts listed above then you will have missed your chance for this trophy.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the Fire Truck job once in Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the Windows, Wing Mirrors, and Windshield have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

One of the vehicle-cleaning jobs you will get throughout the Campaign is to Clean the Penny Farthing. To unlock the “Impeccable Balance” trophy, you need to jump up onto the top of the old-style bicycle and then stay then for 10 whole seconds.

Fortunately, the Penny Farthing doesn’t actually move and there’s no balancing involved. Very easy to unlock!

If you happen to miss this trophy during your playthrough of the campaign, you can replay the job via Free Play.

To unlock the “Live by the Blade” trophy, you need to clean all 6 Rotor Blades and 4 Tail Rotor Blades before anything else while doing the Fire Helicopter job.

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before any of the Helicopter Blades, then you will have missed your chance for this trophy.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the Fire Helicopter job once in Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the 10 Rotor Blades have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

On the Carousel level, next to the carousel itself, there is a plinth-like stand with a big red button on it. This big red button will stop the Carousel, making it a bit easier to clean. However, in order to unlock the “Merrily Go Round” trophy, you must clean the entire thing 100% without stopping it!

This isn’t really all that difficult at all, and having the carousel turn makes it a bit more fun to clean, honestly. You can get on and ride the carousel to clean the moving parts as though they were still.

If you accidentally turn off the carousel and void the trophy, you can replay the stage via “Free Play” once you have completed it in the Campaign.

The “Coconut Dodge” trophy can be earned on any of the Fairground levels. That means either the Merry Go Round, the Helter Skelter, or the Ferris Wheel.

While there, look for a small shack near the Helter Skelter (under construction during the Carousel job, look for a blue and red trailer instead) with five coconuts on thin stands.

Use your Powerwasher to knock all five coconuts onto the ground and the Coconut Dodge trophy will unlock. Make sure they touch the ground or they may glitch out and not register.

If you miss your chance in all three jobs, you can replay them via free play once they’ve been completed at least once in Campaign mode.

To unlock the “Lantern Hunter” trophy, you need to clean all 12 Lanterns before anything else while doing the Treehouse job. The best way to go about this is to open the tablet at the start and then highlight the Lanterns from the job’s Details list. This way, the lanterns will flash, making it easier to find and clean them.

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before any of the Lanterns, then you will have missed your chance for this trophy.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the Treehouse job once in Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the 12 Lanterns have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

To unlock the “Head First” trophy, you need to clean the Drill Head and Drill Tip parts before anything else while doing the “Clean the Drill” job.

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before you unlock the trophy, then you will have missed your chance.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the “Clean the Drill” job once in Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the Drill Head and Drill Tip have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

During the Temple job, you will see a Gnome standing atop the tallest point of the temple. All you need to do to unlock the “Gnome Sweet Gnome” trophy is to leave it there, without knocking it off or moving it.

If you do happen to move it, you can always pick it up and put it back once the job is done to unlock the trophy.

This can be one of the most irritating trophies to miss because you’ll have to complete the whole job if you want to unlock the trophy. If you make a mistake, you will have to clean the entire Washroom all over again.

Essentially, while cleaning the Washroom, don’t “ding” any of the toilets until you have cleaned everything else and they’re the only thing left. This shouldn’t be too difficult, as the toilets have various nooks that are hard to clean by accident, but just be extra careful when cleaning near them.

If you make it to the end of the job without fully cleaning the toilets, you can finish up and secure the Delaying the Inevitable trophy.

If you miss the trophy, you can replay the mission as many times as you like from “Free Play” when it has been completed at least once in the Campaign.

To unlock the “Shine Bright” trophy, you need to clean all objects with lightbulbs on them before anything else while doing the Helter Skelter job. The best way to go about this is to open the tablet at the start and then highlight and clean the following items:

• Sign
• Channel Lights (16)
• Top Ring Frame (use scaffolding)

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before any of the objects listed above, then you will have missed your chance for this trophy.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the Helter Skelter job once in Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the correct objects have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

To unlock the “suspicious Modifications” trophy, you need to clean the Laser and Anti-Gravity parts before anything else while doing the Private Jet job. If you’re struggling to identify those parts, don’t forget that you can highlight individual objects via your task list . The specific items you need to clean are as follows:

1. Laser
2. Anti-Gravity Booster (x2)
3. Anti-Gravity Panel (x2)

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before any of the parts above, then you will have missed your chance for this trophy. Do not clean the Laser Mount or Laser Wiring as they don’t count for the trophy.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the Private Jet job once in Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the Laser and Anti-Gravity parts have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

To unlock the “Tyresome” trophy, you need to clean all 4 Tyres before anything else while doing the Monster Truck job. The best way to go about this is to open the tablet at the start and then highlight the Tyres from the job’s Details list.

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before any of the four Tyres, then you will have missed your chance for this trophy.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the Monster Truck job once in Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the 4 Tyres have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

When you load up the Ferris Wheel job, you’ll see that it is still active and rotating. You can go up the stairs and get into any of the cabins to ride the Ferris Wheel. In fact, you’ll end up doing that anyway as you attempt to clean each cabin.

To unlock the “Best Buds” trophy, you will need to ride in one of these cabins for a full rotation of the ride while having a Garden Gnome in the cabin with you.

To get a Garden Gnome, look for the nearby Helter Skelter that you cleaned earlier and climb to the top. There, you’ll find the Gnome wearing a clown costume and looking out toward the Ferris Wheel.

Press while looking at him to pick him up, then bring him to the Ferris Wheel and press to place him in any Cabin. Once done, get in the same cabin with him and then wait for the Ferris Wheel to complete a full rotation. The “Best Buds” trophy will unlock there and then.

To unlock the “Blast from the Past” trophy, you need to clean all 8 Advertising Boards before anything else while doing the Subway Station job. The best way to go about this is to open the tablet at the start and then highlight the Advertising Boards from the job’s Details list.

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before any of the eight Advertising Boards, then you will have missed your chance for this trophy.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the Subway Platform job once in Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the 8 Boards have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

In the job titled “Clean the Ancient Monument” there are four plastic blue buckets that you can knock over. To unlock the “Bucket List” trophy, you will need to find and knock over all four.

The first you will find is in the tent next to the caravan, where you start the job.

Another one is in the tent opposite the statue. The next one is in a tent behind the statue. Lastly, the fourth can be found on the scaffolding behind the statue. It’s on the highest platform, overlooking the statues.

There is a red bucket stuck int eh sand near the caravan and a blue bucket upturned on a spade near the second bucket. You can’t knock these over, so they can be safely ignored.

To unlock the “Delicate Excavation” trophy, you need to complete the entire “Clean the Ancient Monument” job while only ever using the White Nozzle on your Powerwasher.

The White Nozzle has the most spread but the least range and the least power. As you can imagine, this means you are going to be here for a very long while. You’re definitely going to want the “Prime Vista PRO” Powerwasher for this job or it will take even longer to complete.

If you accidentally use a different nozzle, you will need to start again from scratch, You can reattempt this job from Free Play once it has been completed at least one time in Campaign.

To unlock the “All Hands on Deck” trophy, you need to clean the Bow, Steps, and Main Deck parts before anything else while doing the Fishing Boat job. If you’re struggling to identify those parts, don’t forget that you can highlight individual objects via your task list . It’s basically just the floor on the boat, though.

Note that you can get other objects wet, but if they “ding” (indicating they have been cleaned) before any of the parts above, then you will have missed your chance for this trophy.

To re-attempt the trophy, complete the Fishing Boat job once in Campaign mode to unlock it in Free Play. You can then restart the job from there as many times as you like.

It’s also worth noting that you will unlock the trophy as soon as the Bow, Steps, and Deck parts have been cleaned, and do not need to replay the full job.

The Going for Gold Trophy will unlock when you earn a Gold Medal in any Challenge Mode job for the first time. See Gold Standard for more info.

To unlock the “Gold Standard” trophy, you will need to master a total of five Challenge Mode jobs and earn five Gold Medals. You can do this in any five Challenges, regardless of whether they are Time Challenges or Water Challenges.

Without a doubt, this is the most challenging trophy in the entire game, but if you can get past this hurdle, you can handle anything else it has to offer!

Here’s some general advice that should help with any Challenge:

• Never hold or press in a Water Challenge. It wastes a lot of water way faster than you’d think. Instead, clean with quick and precise bursts by tapping . In time challenges, the opposite is true, and you should press immediately.
• During Time Challenges, make sure you’re using the right Nozzle for the job at all times. Don’t waste time making multiple passes with the Green Nozzle if the Red Nozzle would clean it in one sweep.
• Also During Time Challenges, don’t be shy about using the task list on the Tablet to highlight objects that need to be cleaned. There’s really no need to waste time looking for things.
• The threshold for Gold Medals on “Location” jobs are a lot more lenient and you could easily complete the jobs with many minutes to spare, but you would need to be willing to spend 20-25 minutes on them. Vehicle jobs are much faster but have consistently strict Gold Medal thresholds.
• In both types of Challenge, press frequently so that you can always see the dirt highlighted clearly and ensure you’re cleaning efficiently.

And to hopefully provide even further aid, here are tips for completing the five that I completed:

• Van – Time Challenge | Start by equipping the Soap Nozzle and the Glass Cleaner and blast the windows clean as fast as you can. Switch to Metal Cleaner and give the entire vehicle a quick once-over with it until it runs out. Then use the Yellow Nozzle for the rest of the job. You can also switch to the Red Nozzle for tricky to stubborn stains.
• Van – Water Challenge | Use the Yellow Nozzle for the majority of the job. Switch to the Red Nozzle as needed for tricky spots and stubborn stains around/on the Windows.
• Dirt Bike – Water Challenge | Use the Green Nozzle for the entire job. Stand back from the bike and tap in quick bursts while frequently changing perspective. Make sure to hit the bike from low and high angles too, to really get into those nooks and crannies. It’ll take a lot of practice but you will get there with patience.
• Golf Cart – Water Challenge | Same as the Dirt Bike. Stick to the Green Nozzle and use it in quick bursts from various angles/distances to complete the job.
• Vintage Car – Water Challenge | This one really wasn’t very easy to pull off, honestly. If you can do any of the other Time Challenges, that might be the better route to pursue.
  Regardless, start by using the Green Nozzle and around 6 Litres of water to take the top layer of dirt off the whole car. Quick bursts again and plenty of different angles for maximum coverage.
  Next, switch to the Soap Nozzle and the Metal Cleaner. Hit the more rusted metal parts of the car; Canopy Hinges, Door Handles, Headlights, the Grill, the Bonnet, the Wing Mirrors, etc.
  You should be at around 9-10 Litres used with around 25% of the car left to clean. Switch to the Red Nozzle and very meticulously and patiently start chipping away at any remaining dirt. Use to help you hunt it down and hopefully reach 100% before that 15L mark. Best of luck!

The “Good Dings to Come” trophy is one of the most difficult trophies you’ll have to attempt to earn in Powerwash Simulator.

Whenever you complete a task for a job, the object you’re cleaning will “ding” in a satisfying way, flashing blue for a moment. To unlock this trophy, however, you will need to clean 95% of a job without ever triggering one of these Dings.

This means working very carefully so as to only clean a maximum of 95% of each item. A good opportunity to attempt this trophy (and probably the best way to go about it) is when you are cleaning the Van with the Red Nozzle for the Powerful Pressure Purist trophy. That task is already one of the most meticulous in the game, so it makes sense to attempt this trophy there.

You can open the Tablet at any time with to see the tasks you’ve completed so far as well as how much progress you’ve made on each object in the “Status” column.

Successfully reach a total of 95% clean on any job without once triggering any “dings” and the trophy will unlock right there and then.

The only “Special Job” available at the time of writing is the “Tomb Raider” Special Job Pack, but a Final Fantasy VII Special Job Pack was recently announced, which looks very exciting!

Download any of these packs (the former of which is free) and then complete any of the jobs they offer in the “Specials” menu to immediately unlock the Specialist trophy when the job reaches 100% completion.

In the Shop on the tablet (), there is a section called “Cleaning Liquids.” You can buy these for $10 each and there are six different types for different surfaces:

• Glass Cleaner
• Metal Cleaner

• Wood Cleaner

To unlock the “Soap Connoisseur” trophy, all you need to do is buy one of each. At just $10 each you will only need to have at least $60 in your bank to unlock the trophy.

In Powerwash Simulator, you can customize your appearance by purchasing new outfits, gloves, and washer modifications from the store.

To unlock the Fashionista trophy, purchase and equip at least one item from each of those categories. Once you have a unique outfit, set of gloves, and washer modification equipped all at once, the trophy will unlock.

To apply a purchased Washer mod, press and then click on the small lower-right corner tab on the Powerwasher selection box. This opens a menu containing all of your Powerwasher mods.
