A great, clean finish that’s gentle to a building’s facade and the environment This method of cleaning is an effective and practical way to revitalise the aesthetics of a building while extending and preserving its facade.
DOFF Steam Cleaning makes use of a gentle production of steam which is spread over a facade through an applicator at varying temperature and pressure. It’s a gentle clean when compared to other forms of cleaning, with litres of super-heated water and steam being applied every minute onto the building surface. This type of cleaning is well suited to more delicate surfaces that cannot withstand the thermal shock or abrasion of other cleaning methods particularly common with listed buildings, Heritage sites, and older stone buildings or monuments.
Different buildings respond in various ways to different kinds of cleaning and they age differently, too.
The removal of biological matter and the accumulation of things like moss, dirt and more is challenging; a cleaning process that’s too abrasive or of too high a pressure will chip away at stone and can even damage the facade, and any paint or protective surface substances applied to it.
The DOFF Steam Cleaning system generates superheated steam at temperatures exceeding 150°C. The pressure remains surprisingly low, creating a delicate balance between heat and touch. This makes the DOFF system ideal for tackling stubborn grime on surfaces that wouldn’t tolerate harsher methods, like:
