Dry ice blast cleaning solutions for historical restoration in Denver, CO
It’s all about the details in historical and monument restoration. Following rules, regulations and restrictions is essential. The goal for most historical and monument restoration work is to maintain the integrity of the site, uncover hidden marvels, reverse the aging process and ensure that nothing is compromised in the process. Unfortunately, when it comes to removing decades of grime, traditional cleaning methods can actually damage delicate surfaces. However, there is another way of cleaning outside of the traditional chemical and abrasive materials that are so often used today. This new method is called dry ice blast cleaning.
Mold Experts uses a non abrasive technique that is also non toxic and won’t leave behind any moisture. Dry ice blast cleaning involves a common gas, CO2, but in its solid form – dry ice. When compressed air is blasted over dry ice pellets, which are negative 109 degrees Fahrenheit, hits its target, the dirt buildup, smoke damage, grease, or any other contaminant, sublimates (skips the liquid stage and turns into gas), leaving behind no secondary waste.
What’s important to know for people who are involved in historic restoration is that this process of dry ice blasting does not harm the delicate surfaces upon which it is used. Old curtains can be brought back to a more pleasant luster. Even fire-damaged homes can be restored with dry ice blast cleaning. If years and years of paint are layered on a surface, Dry ice blast cleaning can strip those layers away without damaging what’s underneath.
Brick, stone, wood – all essential elements in most historical structures are cleaned without marring. Below is just a sample of what else Mold Experts can do: uncover details buried under paint or grime, clean around tight spots, nails and wiring, remove lead-based paints, clean walls, fireplaces, woodwork, stone, tiles, remove adhesives and tar, abate corrosive contaminants, remediate mold, reverse the effects of aging.
