I have an industrial size pressure washer (the kind that has to be hauled on a trailer). We have only had the metal roof for about 1 1/2 year and I am afraid of damaging it with the pressure washer. What chemicals should I use and is there anything natural that can be used?

Hire a professional to avoid chemical and water damage to your home. The money spent for a professional will outweigh what you could end up with in repairs!

Greets...
Yup.... as others say the pressure wash will do it..... also, washers do come with different tips... avoid the pointed spray and try for a wide fan or cone shaped water spray.
I'm not too sure you will need chemicals...but if you insist follow others advice and stick with diluted household types; you do not want to etch the surface up there... stay away from any TSP ingredients.
Best of luck up there......be careful. (slippery when wet)

I just saw some guys pressure washing an industrial roof! Should work ok. Just don't make the mistake of washing under the eaves. My husband did that & we got water inside & stained the ceilings.

You can clean it with the Pressure washer, but don't get carried away, Use Auto Wash soap.
