It will never be a literal thing, only a useful fiction, sorry. You want proof? Tide doesn't make laundry soap that smells like bacon or WD-40.

    Hmm... I wonder if I can find a pressure regulator that'll fit without too many adapters to keep it down to Clean The Dishes instead of Peel The Skin Off Your Hand.

    Just buy a cheap chinese one that only does a few hundred psi.
    Or bore out the hole in the nozzle a bit, that will drop the exit speed a lot.

    No problem is insoluble, but at Ksp = 2.943×10−25 Mercury Sulphide comes close.

      Our 110VAC pressure washer listed for about USD $180 at Sears, outdoor cleaning would go faster with a bigger one, but for occasional use it is fine. It came with several nozzles, I normally use the 15 deg fan, but the wider fan (45 deg?) is much lower pressure and covers a wider swath. A really cheap one might be just the ticket for dishes....

      If you've ever used the eraser tool in Paint, a pressure washer on dirty sidewalk or gutters is like that. Where ever you wave it gets clean. If you don't overlap strokes perfectly, then there is a line of dirt left.
