High pressure water cleaners for the efficient workplace

High pressure water cleaners offer the ability to apply high water pressure to surfaces covered in hard-to-remove substances such as dirt, oil stains, chemicals, moss, algae and graffiti.

Depending on the job, chemicals may also be applied to loosen contaminants, with water used as the rinsing medium. It's a fast and efficient method of cleaning large surfaces that in most instances requires a minimal amount of water.

When would you use high pressure water cleaners?

• Factory floor: remove bacteria, tyre rubber and grit from general foot traffic and prevent the surface from becoming dangerously slippery or unhygienic
• Office/shop facades: remove chewing gum, stickers, dust, oil, grime
• Office interior: cleaning of floor surfaces, particularly in reception areas
• Oil removal: oil-stain removal for petrochemical firms or the food services industry, loading bays, driveways and workshops
• Graffiti removal: removal of unsightly paint or tagging, surface restoration and protection

Damage control and high pressure water cleaners

Cleaning up an environmental mess is a specialty for many high pressure water cleaners. In industrial situations, high pressure water cleaners can often come to the rescue. For example, dealing with paint or chemical spills, either inside or outside a factory, professional high pressure water cleaners will efficiently:

• Contain pollutants using absorbent materials and portable barriers
• Clean up the spill, including emptying nearby drains with a vacuum to protect the immediate environment from contamination
• Treat the surface so it is safe, and remove the visual blight
• Dispose of the pollutant in accordance with environmental laws and good business practice
• Liaise with the local fire brigade and the EPA, handling relevant paperwork.

How can high pressure water cleaners improve your business?

One of the key benefits of high pressure water cleaners is occupational health and safety. For example, strict regulations govern work done more than 2 metres off the ground. There are slip risks when working with liquid, and dangers associated with using chemicals, both to the operator and the public.

Employing professional high pressure water cleaners ensures that your operator has the appropriate equipment, training and chemicals-handling knowledge to complete the work safely.

Environmental risk is another major consideration. If you allow pollutant to flow into drains, you can be prosecuted. Businesses cannot afford a complaint or prosecution by employing somebody without adequate knowledge.

Protecting your assets

Pressure-cleaning equipment can actually damage your premises if handled incorrectly. Often you will see buildings cleaned in streaks or with cut marks in the stone. Vents, windows and air conditioners can even be affected if the wrong pressure is used.

These are all common mistakes made by inexpert handlers of pressure-cleaning equipment, so don't take the risk.
