Title: Cleaning a large corrogated building
Post by: Prestige1 on July 22, 2007, 05:28:30 pm

Do you think you could clean a 20ft high corrogated clad building using a wfp? if so would you need pure water? and if so would a simple system be ok and what would you guys recomend? your help would be very much appreciated. kind regards Phil

I think you could, my idea would be clean a small section at a time, use a detergent first then run through clean water to rinse. its a cream building so may not require pure water.
but over to you guys? what da ya think?

No need for pure water

Use detergent and/or non/caustic traffic film remover.

I cleaned a horizontally corrugated satin anodised finished alu clad building using a lance and hot power washer. Half way through I went back to using a wfp for rinsing scrubbing after foaming the walls.
After 2 days work I formed the opinion that I could have done it all with a simple tap hose and a pole. But it does depend on the ammount of traffic wax/dirt. By the way its hard work cleaning large areas what ever method you use so do not under estimate the price as no one else wants the job.
ps monofilament brushes will scratch anodised sheting.
