The process of high-pressure cleaning is when a machine is used that sprays water at a high velocity onto a surface to get it clean from Algae, paint, dust and other dirt. The pressure (bar) is set according to the operation and can be adjusted for various surfaces.

A HIGH-PRESSURE WASHER CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING:
A petrol or electricity motor.
A trigger-style high-pressure cleaning gun with various nozzles.
Industrial standard high-quality pressure hose for a consistent flow of water.
High-pressure hose pipe.
There are currently several High-Pressure machines on the market, and it is important to utilise a suitable machine for a particular operation. Some plug-in power units are limited to 120 bars which are inadequate for most roofs and driveways. Those require a pressure of up to 200 bars.
PREPARATION OF AREA TO BE CLEANED
Preparation is important both for safety as well as safeguarding your equipment or assets.
Before a high-pressure operation at homes, it is important to clear the area of any furniture, portable braai, cars and loose carpets before spraying a roof. Taking cognisance of the wind direction is important as a high-pressure spraying operation could damage sensitive plants if proper care is not taken.
It is good practice to inform your neighbours about your roof cleaning to ensure that no washing is out near the area to be sprayed.
SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT
Importantly staff must wear non-slip boots should be used, and where required, a harness should be worn, especially when working on high or asbestos roofs, as Asbestos is very slippery.
Ladders should be placed upwind on the dry side where no spraying is taking place like a wet roof with Algae is a disaster waiting to happen. Workers should be constantly reminded of safety and safety procedures during spraying.h
