Looking for a powerful, non-damaging way to clean machinery, surfaces, or fire-damaged structures? Dry ice blasting is a safe and sustainable cleaning method that removes paint, rust, grease, grime, soot, and smoke damage without water, chemicals, or residue.
Dry Ice Blasting is a fast, dry, efficient alternative to sandblasting, pressure washing, or chemical cleaning.
Non-Abrasive: Safe for delicate surfaces—no scratching, etching, or damage to equipment or materials.
No Residue or Waste: Dry ice sublimates on contact, leaving no water or secondary waste.
Sustainability: Uses recycled CO₂ with no hazardous by-products, which is better for the environment and safe for operators.
Chemical-Free & Non-Toxic: Safe for food-grade, healthcare, and sensitive environments, no harsh solvents.
Powerful on Tough Contaminants: Effectively removes grease, oil, tar, rust, and soot from even the most challenging surfaces.
Minimal Downtime: A dry, fast process that reduces cleaning time and gets machinery back online quickly.
Where Can Dry Ice Blasting Be Used?
Dry ice blasting is a versatile solution trusted across multiple industries:
Industrial Equipment: Clean machinery, turbines, and motors without disassembly, which minimises downtime and extends asset life.
Fire & Smoke Restoration: Gently removes soot, smoke stains, and char without damaging structural materials.
Mould Remediation: Effectively eliminates mould from timber, brick, and concrete—no spore spread, no moisture.
Food Processing Facilities: Chemical-free cleaning for equipment in sensitive environments—safe, hygienic, and compliant.
Automotive & Aerospace: Cleans engines, tooling, and components with precision—no abrasion or residue.
Graffiti Removal: Strips paint from brick, stone, and metal surfaces without surface degradation.

Our Top Frequently Asked Questions
What is dry ice blasting?
Dry ice blasting is a cleaning method that uses solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) pellets as the blasting medium. When accelerated through a nozzle, the pellets impact the surface, causing contaminants to be removed without damaging the underlying material.
How does dry ice blasting work?
The dry ice pellets sublimate upon impact, turning from solid to gas and creating a small explosion effect that effectively removes dirt, grease, and other contaminants. The process is non-abrasive, making it suitable for sensitive surfaces.
What are the benefits of using dry ice blasting?
Dry ice blasting is environmentally friendly, as it does not produce secondary waste, reduces downtime, and is safe for various surfaces. It can be used in food processing facilities, automotive industries, and historical restoration projects.
Is dry ice blasting safe for all surfaces?
Yes, dry ice blasting is safe for a variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, and wood. However, it is important to assess the specific material before application to ensure compatibility.
Can dry ice blasting be used for mould removal?
Absolutely. Dry ice blasting is effective for mould removal as it eliminates mould spores without damaging the underlying structure, making it ideal for restoration projects following water damage.
