2 Proven Methods to clean Stone and Brickwork

Doff Cleaning

Doff cleaning can be used to remove flexible paints, graffiti, algae and moss. Doff Cleaning Systems use heat to clean. It does this by heating the water to 150 degrees at the point of exit from the sytem. This high heat system is ideal as it doesn’t gentle on the underlying surface as the water pressure is low and it uses a low volume of water. 

Because of the high temp, it is ideal for removing biological spores which reduces the requirement for chemicals and reduces future biological growth.

Our Torc cleaning system is ideal for the removal of carbon sulphation, brittle paints and limescale.
