Dry Ice Cleaning for Paint and Graffiti Removal

Removing stubborn paint from walls, stone, brickwork, or metal surfaces can be a real challenge. While there are many traditional methods available — such as wire brushing, jet washing, or using chemical paint strippers — these techniques can be messy, time-consuming, and often risk damaging the surface underneath.

Dry Ice Cleaning offers a safer, faster, and more environmentally friendly alternative for removing old paint and graffiti. By blasting dry ice pellets at high velocity onto the painted surface, the extreme cold causes the paint to contract and break away, without the need for harsh chemicals or abrasives. This method effectively eliminates both soluble solids and embedded chlorides without leaving behind any secondary waste.

Benefits of

Dry Ice Cleaning for Paint and Graffiti Removal

• Non-Abrasive – Removes paint without damaging brick, stone, wood, or metal surfaces.
• No Chemicals – Eliminates the need for harsh solvents or toxic strippers.
• Eco-Friendly – Dry ice sublimates into gas, leaving no secondary waste or contaminated runoff.
• Fast and Efficient – Cleans large areas quickly, saving time compared to traditional methods.
• Reduces Surface Damage – No heat build-up, no warping, and no loss of surface detail.
• Safe for Historic and Delicate Structures – Ideal for conservation work where surface preservation matters.
• Minimal Cleanup – Since dry ice evaporates on contact, there’s almost no mess to clear afterward.
