Use of Dry Ice in Renovation and Cleaning

Dry ice (CO₂ in solid form) has become an increasingly popular solution in recent years for cleaning, renovation, and specialized cleaning tasks. Dry ice blasting technology represents a modern, environmentally friendly, and gentle method of removing contaminants without the use of water, chemicals, or abrasive materials.

Graffiti Removal

One of the most well-known applications is graffiti removal. 

This method is particularly suitable for:

✔ historical and heritage-protected buildings,
✔ sensitive surfaces such as stone, brick, or plaster,
✔ situations where aggressive chemicals are not desirable.

Cleaning of Moss, Lichens, and Biological Deposits

✔ removal of moss and lichens from pavements, walls, and façades,
✔ cleaning of exterior surfaces without water absorption,
✔ prevention of regrowth thanks to deep cleaning of surface pores.

Mold Removal

In both interior and exterior environments, dry ice blasting is effective for:

✔ removing mold from walls, wood, and structures,
✔ remediation after leaks or accidents,
✔ cleaning without spreading spores into the surrounding area.

Cleaning of Bird Droppings

Bird droppings are not only an aesthetic issue but also a hygienic concern. Dry ice allows:

✔ safe cleaning of statues, monuments, cornices, and roofs,
✔ removal without damaging the surface and without the use of water or chemicals.

Removal of Chewing Gum and Adhesives

This method is also ideal for urban environments:

✔ removal of chewing gum from sidewalks and pavements,
✔ cleaning of poster residues and adhesives from poles, bus stops, and walls.

Fire damage restoration

Fires leave behind soot, odors, and toxic residues. Dry ice blasting:

✔ effectively removes soot from walls, ceilings, and structures,
✔ eliminates odors without the use of water,
✔ enables fast restoration of buildings without secondary damage.

Restoration of Wooden Structures

Dry ice is extremely gentle on wood, making it ideal for the restoration of:

✔ wooden cabins, log houses, and façades,
✔ balconies, terraces, and soffits,
✔ old furniture and historic wooden elements.

It removes old coatings, paints, varnishes, soot, and biological contaminants without sanding and without damaging the wood structure.
