High pressure cleaning- usage and limitations

High pressure cleaning is also called hydro cleaning or water blasting. This technology makes use of a machine which focuses a pressurised water stream towards the area which needs to be cleaned. Through this technology, the dirt can be removed with the help of the force of water. This technology is best suit for Office Cleaning purpose.

The high pressure cleaning has many applications like removal of old paints from walls during the painting work, removal of artificial rubber, sealants and membranes from the walls during the maintenance work. This technology can also be applied in cleaning the surfaces of large buildings, parking lots, metal surfaces and old historical monuments which have not been cleaned since long time.
The advantage of this technology is that it is good for the cleaning works which cannot be done manually ie the force of water cannot be given manually. This technology makes use of basic equipments like Swivel connected to long pipes supplying water. Accessories like rotor arms, duct cleaner, surface cleaner and roof cleaner etc are attached to the swivel according to the usage.

The main limitation of this technique is that it requires a lot of power to make the water reach the surfaces at heights. Another limitation is that a lot of water is required for this job which is very scarce. This technology cannot be used for cleaning glass windows and carpets as they may get spoiled with water.
In spite of these limitations, high pressure cleaning is best for cleaning the old historical monuments and surfaces of sky scrapping buildings.
