What is DOFF Cleaning?

DOFF Cleaning is the process of using gentle steam to clean stone and brickwork without excessive water or pressure, resulting in 0% surface damage. The gentle approach makes for an effective way to remove stubborn biological matter without the need to use a further chemical cleaning solution.

Benefits of DOFF Cleaning

Whether you are looking to remove paint, dirt or biological matter from a listed building, or if you simply want to refresh and tidy up your property’s surface.

Unlike traditional pressure washing or abrasive cleaning methods, DOFF cleaning operates at low pressure and high heat, ensuring delicate surfaces like historic facades, monuments, and delicate stonework are thoroughly cleaned without any risk of harm.

One of the main reasons why DOFF cleaning is so effective is because up to five litres of heated water targets the surface through the nozzle end, effectively making impact without any damage, deep saturation or thermal shock.

Due to the restriction of water used during cleaning, DOFF systems offer a way to retore structures with little to no waste. In addition, the system itself is so effective that there is no need to use further chemical cleaning solutions, making its carbon footprint very low – an attractive proposition for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact.

DOFF cleaning can be used to remove a number of common and stubborn stains and blemishes including:

  • Fungi, moss, algae
  • Biological matter (including chewing gum)
  • Wax coatings
  • Paint coatings
  • Vermin or bird fouling
  • Graffiti

Not only does DOFF cleaning remove live, visible spores, but it also has the potential to kill off hidden spores in the process. This prevents regrowth, keeping surfaces clean for up to several years.
