Steam cleaning isn’t just about making things look nice. It’s about solving real problems that can cost money, damage property, or create safety risks. The heat, combined with controlled pressure, means we can remove dirt, stains, and biological growth without damaging the surface underneath.
Here are the main problems we tackle for clients:
1. Algae, Moss and Lichen Growth
These thrive on render, brick, paving, and stone. Left untreated, they make surfaces slippery and can cause permanent staining. Steam cleaning kills the growth at the root, removing the slip hazard and restoring the original appearance without the need for harsh chemicals.
2. Oil and Grease Stains
From loading bays to car parks, oil and grease make surfaces unsafe and unsightly. Steam cleaning breaks down and lifts these contaminants, restoring grip and improving safety in high-traffic areas.
3. Graffiti Removal
Graffiti can damage a business’s image overnight. Steam cleaning removes paint from brick, stone, metal, and other surfaces without stripping or scarring the material.
4. Pollution and Weather Staining
Traffic pollution, rain, and wind carry grime that builds up on buildings, especially in cities and coastal areas. Over time, this can make walls look tired and aged. Steam cleaning restores the original colour and brightness without damaging render or brickwork.
5. Chewing Gum and Sticky Residue
Public spaces like shopping centres and footpaths often suffer from chewing gum build-up. Steam cleaning melts and removes it completely, leaving surfaces sanitised and clear.
6. Paint and Spill Removal
Accidental paint splashes, plaster drips, and other construction debris can be stubborn to remove. Steam cleaning softens and lifts these materials without damaging the underlying surface.
Maintenance Means Longevity
Most of these problems don’t appear overnight. They build up over months or years. Regular steam cleaning keeps surfaces safe, presentable, and protected for longer — avoiding expensive repairs and replacements down the line.
