I want to foam a cleaner while keeping it undiluted. In other words I want a device that turns a cleaner into a foam without the use of a garden hose or a pressure washer.

I am aware of the foaming trigger sprayers but am thinking more along the lines of a device that requires a compressed air supply to transform a liquid into a foam and shoot it out onto the work.

Anyone have any info or suggestions on tools that do this or how to achieve this. I'm not above rigging up a device out of hardware store trinkets so if anyone has any ideas please share them.

Thanks in advance, TD
 
Keep in mind the way soap works best is with water so you can suspend contaminants in the solution and carry them off the surface.
 
Maybe try a foaming sprayer? Tedious, yes, but it will foam nicely.

Get a couple of bottles and a couple of foaming sprayers, like the Big Blaster Foamer.


Just mix some shampoo and water in a bottle and you have a concentrated shampoo mix, basically water free as you won't be adding too much water in the bottle with the shampoo.
 
I have an earth friendly microbe cleaner where the microbes are supposed to digest oils and grease. I'll be testing this for the makers of it and want to see if foaming it is possible. I'll start with a trigger sprayer foamer and if it works then I'll look into a better, hand friendlier way of foaming it. My concern is that if I foam the stuff (if it even foams) then I will create more dwell time for the microbes to do their work on the vertical sides of engines and the like. Thanks for the suggestions. I also see through a google search that there are pump up garden sprayers that will foam the solutions being sprayed through them.
