The Importance of Professional Stone Cleaning
Over time, stone surfaces can accumulate dirt, grime, moss, and even paint, which can detract from the appearance and structural integrity of your building. Regular cleaning not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your property but also protects the stone from potential damage caused by pollutants and biological growth. At White Acre Stonemasonry, we provide specialised stone cleaning services tailored to the unique needs of each project, ensuring optimal results every time.
How ThermaTech Stone Cleaning Works
ThermaTech stone cleaning is a highly effective method for removing dirt, biological growth, and even paint from stone surfaces. This technique utilises superheated water, delivered at low pressure, to gently clean the stone without causing damage. The water is heated to around 150°C, which allows it to penetrate and lift stubborn contaminants from the stone surface.
Benefits of ThermaTech Stone Cleaning
Gentle Yet Effective: The low-pressure application ensures that the stone is not eroded or damaged during the cleaning process.
Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of stone types, including sandstone, limestone, granite, and brickwork.
Environmentally Friendly: Uses water as the primary cleaning agent, avoiding the need for harsh chemicals.
Efficient: Quickly removes dirt, biological growth, and paint, restoring the stone to its original appearance.
The Science Behind Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning
Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning is another advanced technique used by White Acre Stonemasonry to clean and preserve stone surfaces. This method involves the use of fine mist water sprays to gently clean the stone. The nebulous spray creates a humid environment around the stone, softening dirt and contaminants for easy removal without abrasive action.
Advantages of Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning
Safe for Delicate Stonework: Ideal for cleaning sensitive or fragile stone surfaces, as the gentle mist does not cause any physical damage.
Effective on Stubborn Stains: Particularly useful for removing biological growth, soot, and other persistent stains.
Preserves Stone Integrity: Maintains the natural appearance and structure of the stone while effectively cleaning it.
Minimal Water Usage: Efficient use of water makes it an environmentally responsible choice.
