Does anyone else not use cleaning liquids?
I haven't noticed a difference in the speed of removing gunk after using them. Might just be me, though.

Using soap can speed things up. There have been a couple of times when I was near the end of a job and real life happened and I needed to get out of the game quickly, so I used the soap to finish the job fast. Other than that, I don't use soap at all.

You need the soap nozzle as well, that has to be equipped to equip soap. Also i believe the soap has to be purchased in the mode you're trying to use it in. But to answer OP No i don't use soap, there is a noticeable difference in the speed according to some players, though i find that using the soap is not only a waste of money but also can lead to missing specs of dirt. Which i believe is the leading cause of 'I can't see any dirt, it's completely clean but won't finish! Help!'

I only bothered once, when I was stuck on one of those impossible to find the last speck of dirt platforms in the treehouse. Didn't help, and ran out so fast I didn't see the point in ever bothering again.

I have used it a couple of times, in the beginning. Just to try it out.

But, I prefer just blasting the gunk off with water. :-)

Cleaning pyramid sides with soap is much faster than without soap

I just started and they don't seem necessary at all, kind of a waste of money tbh. I was planning to use only the multi-purpose one here and there, bought the whole starting available stock, just to find out it was gone from my save the next time I opened the game.. bug?

I've never used soap outside challenge mode, and I haven't played a lot of challenge mode (only the Van level). I noticed there was an achievement for owning every kind of soap, so in order to get it I bought one of each. That was my first time buying soap.

I've played story mode through 3 times now (most of it during Early Access). Soap is not necessary. It can help, but it seems more likely to be a hindrance.
Since playing this game I have discovered I watch a lot more youtube vids about real life power washers.. :)
I find soap to be useful for cleaning up tiny spots I might miss and can't seem to find.
Soap, not enough of it and it runs out too quick, think a bottle should last a lot longer than 30 sec.
What we need are the rest of the equipment. like the ground cleaner thing.

I hate using the cleaning liquids. All of my playthroughs save for a couple of levels the first time I played have been sans cleaners.

I never use them. Waste of money.

I tried it on some rust and am not impressed.
The turbo and 0 degree nozzles seem to be more effective at getting tough spots, so unless something changes I probably won't be buying any more.

The first time I played through the campaign, I used the soap nozzles and soap, but when the pro washer was released, I couldn't afford it, because I had bought every washer and every part, as well as using soap fairly frequently.

So I restarted the campaign, used the first washer until I could afford the $2000 washer, then bought the pro washer as soon as I could afford it. I started doing minimum expenditure strategies, and with those strategies, the soap nozzles and soaps are simply an unneeded expense. I completely finish each job for the bonus payment, as well. There's some annoying geometry, but not huge amounts.

I did get frustrated that there's an accomplishment for having all the types of soap, but not for completing the campaign without any soap nozzles owned.

Honestly? I've only ever had to use them on Oil.

The achievement you suggest would require a complete reset for anyone who already owned one (probably 99% of the early access players).
