SURFACE CLEANING

It's more than just cleaning...

It’s a complete approach that combines safety, precision, performance and environmental responsibility.

Diverse Industries, Shared Goals, Common Challenges

Surface cleaning is essential across multiple sectors. Whether for maintenance, restoration or preservation, the priorities and primary goals remain the same. Safe and effective removal of unwanted substances whilst protecting underlying substrates and the surrounding environment.  

Whether removing grease and oil in industrial facilities, cleaning environmental pollutants from public buildings, graffiti removal or careful cleaning to restore historical buildings, sectors share universal challenges.

These challenges force sectors into difficult tradeoffs - speed vs. precision, effectiveness vs. substrate protection, and completeness vs. environmental responsibility, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve safe, precise, efficient and environmentally responsible surface cleaning.

Failure to overcome these challenges can have serious consequences, from permanent damage of irreplicable materials and the environment, regulatory breaches and extended downtime.

  • Surface cleaning requirements vary significantly. Some demand gentle cleaning, others aggressive removal, and many require precise, selective removal of layers that target unwanted substances without damaging underlying substrates. Traditional methods lack flexibility and control, risk surface damage or require multiple systems, increasing costs and reduce efficiency.

  • Cleaning often occurs in sensitive, occupied, or public areas, such as heritage sites and live industrial facilities where hygiene, safety, access and uninterrupted operations may be critical or important.  Precision and controlled containment is essential to preserve surfaces, protect nearby structures, people and the environment. and to prevent spread of contaminants.  Traditional methods struggle, producing dust, debris and run off, requiring prolonged containment and clean-up, increasing downtime and operational disruption. 

  • Many cleaning applications must meet strict environmental, safety, health and other regulatory standards. Traditional abrasive and chemical methods struggle due to limited applicability, excessive waste and multiple environmental risks.
