Gentle yet powerful: The low-pressure steam effectively removes grime without damaging the surface. This makes it suitable for cleaning a wide range of building façade materials, including stone, brick and more.

Environmentally friendly: This façade cleaning system operates solely on superheated water. This eliminates the need for harsh chemicals or detergents, making it an eco-friendly alternative and reducing the impact on the surrounding environment.

Versatile application: The DOFF cleaning system can be used for various cleaning tasks, including removing paint, graffiti and biological growth, meaning it’s a very versatile solution for a range of building façade cleaning requirements.

Prevents long-term damage: By removing organic growth, the DOFF system helps to prevent further structural damage, thereby extending the lifespan of a building.

The process of building façade cleaning using DOFF

1. Assessment

An experienced cleaning professional evaluates the building façade to determine the appropriate techniques and precautions required for cleaning.

2. Preparation

Prior to using DOFF on your building façade, any loose debris or vegetation is removed, ensuring a clean and safe working environment.

3. Application

The DOFF machine emits a gentle stream of heated water. It is carefully adjusted to the appropriate temperature and pressure. The heat and low-pressure work together to dissolve dirt, grime and organic matter, effectively lifting it from the surface.

4. Rinse and restoration

After the cleaning process, the façade is rinsed with clean water to remove any residual debris. If required, additional restoration treatments, such as repainting or repairs, may be carried out to enhance the overall appearance of the building.

The DOFF cleaning system has revolutionised the building façade cleaning industry, providing a powerful yet gentle solution for restoring the external appearance of buildings. With its eco-friendly approach, versatility and ability to prevent long-term damage, DOFF has become a preferred choice for many property owners and conservationists. By utilising the power of superheated water, this cleaning method ensures that building façades regain their original charm while maintaining their materials. When it comes to enhancing building aesthetics and preserving architectural heritage, this system proves to be an ideal tool for cleaning professionals.
