Chemical Stone Cleaning
Our Service
The process of stone and brick restoration commences when we start to apply a chemical, specifically formulated for stone masonry work to all exterior walls. Once this solution is combined with warm water and rinsed off the building it gently removes the grime and pollution leaving restoring the brick to its natural state. You may be concerned that the chemicals will damage the stone and brickwork, but you can rest assured that the technique we use and solutions we apply will certainly not damage any of your stone or brickwork.
Benefits of soft wash chemical stone cleaning include
Gentle Cleaning: Chemical washing provides a gentle and non-abrasive method for cleaning stone and brick surfaces. It effectively removes dirt, grime, algae, moss, and other organic stains without causing damage to the surface.
Stain Removal: Chemical cleaners are specifically formulated to break down and dissolve stains that may be difficult to remove with water alone. This includes stubborn stains like rust, oil, grease, and efflorescence (white, powdery deposits).
Mold and Mildew Removal: Chemical washing is highly effective at eliminating mold, mildew, and algae growth on stone and brick surfaces. These organic contaminants not only detract from the appearance of the surface but can also pose health risks and cause structural damage over time.
Prevents Further Damage: By removing organic growth and stains, chemical washing helps prevent further deterioration of the stone and brickwork. Mold, mildew, and algae can cause staining and weaken the structural integrity of the surface if left untreated.
Preserves Aesthetic Appeal: Chemical washing restores the original appearance of stone and brickwork, making it look clean, fresh, and well-maintained. This enhances the overall aesthetics of the property and improves curb appeal.
Extends Lifespan: Regular chemical washing can prolong the lifespan of stone and brick surfaces by preventing the accumulation of dirt, organic matter, and contaminants that can cause degradation over time. This maintenance practice helps protect the investment in your property's exterior.
Environmentally Friendly: Many modern chemical cleaning solutions are biodegradable and environmentally friendly, minimizing the impact on surrounding vegetation and ecosystems. Additionally, using chemical cleaners reduces the need for excessive water pressure, which can be harmful to delicate surfaces and nearby landscaping.
Versatility: Chemical washing can be used on various types of stone and brickwork, including natural stone, concrete pavers, clay bricks, and more. It is suitable for both residential and commercial properties, as well as historical buildings where preserving the original appearance is important.
Time and Labor Savings: Compared to manual scrubbing or high-pressure washing, chemical washing is often a faster and more efficient method for cleaning large areas of stone and brickwork. It requires less physical effort and can cover a larger surface area in less time.
Preparation for Maintenance: Chemical washing prepares the surface for additional maintenance treatments, such as sealing or painting. By thoroughly cleaning the surface and removing contaminants, it ensures better adhesion and longer-lasting results for subsequent treatments.
