High pressure parts washer having a hand directed spray nozzle, and an enclosing chamber containing the parts in a manner whereby the spraying zone for solvent, with which the parts are sprayed by the nozzle, is closely confined within the enclosure so as not to expose the operator or the outside environment to the liquid runoff of the solvent, or to the sprayed particles thereof, or to solvent steam or rising vapors. With a view to ecology considerations, and in addition to the concern to confine the contaminant from escaping into the environment, the internal atmosphere of the chamber and all solvent are continually recycled for re-use by the washer.
