With Simple Green, a pressure washer is not required. Cover your PS pump fluid fill-cap with a plastic bag because there's a vent hole in it and you don't want water in your PS fluid. Besides, low pressure water hose helps ensure fewer potential problems with water getting into places it shouldn't.
