What Is High Pressure Steam Cleaning? 

High pressure steam cleaning (sometimes known as Doff cleaning) uses superheated water, typically heated to over 150°C (300°F), which is then expelled at high pressure through a specialized nozzle. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which relies purely on the force of cold water, steam cleaning combines heat and pressure to break down stubborn dirt, grease, mold, paint, and even biological growth like algae and moss. It can be used for various applicatons, for example facade or cladding cleaning, 
Stone and cleaning and restoration, masonry and render cleaning, graffiti removal, historic and heritage building cleaning and restoraton, limestone cleaning, 
brick cleaning, stain and paint removal and hard to reach areas. 
 
Benefits of High Pressure Steam Cleaning for Buildings 
1. Deep Cleaning Without Harsh Chemicals 
Steam cleaning uses only water, making it eco-friendly and ideal for buildings in areas with strict environmental regulations. The heat alone is enough to kill bacteria, remove stains, and lift grease or pollution build-up. 
2. Gentle on Delicate Surfaces 
While the term "high pressure" might sound aggressive, steam cleaning can actually be gentler than traditional pressure washing—especially on older brickwork, limestone, stucco, or heritage façades. The heat helps lift grime without damaging surfaces. 
3. Kills Mold, Algae, and Bacteria 
Steam cleaning is highly effective at sanitizing surfaces. It not only removes visible growth, but also kills spores at the root—reducing regrowth and making it perfect for damp, shaded areas. 
4. Improves Building Appearance and Longevity 
Clean buildings don’t just look better—they also last longer. Dirt, pollution, and biological growth can accelerate deterioration. Regular steam cleaning helps preserve structural materials and finishes. 
5. Reduced Water Usage 
Because of the efficiency of steam, this method typically uses less water than traditional power washing. This is a big win for both sustainability and cost-effectiveness. 
 

Façade Cleaning  When it comes to maintaining the appearance and integrity of buildings, few methods are as effective—or as environmentally responsible—as high pressure steam cleaning. Whether you're dealing with years of grime on a historic façade or the everyday dirt and pollution build-up on a modern office block, steam cleaning offers a deep, efficient, and chemical-free solution.  

 
 
Graffiti Cleaning 
 
Steam cleaning is an effective, environmentally-friendly, and non-abrasive method for removing graffiti from various surfaces, including masonry, wood, and metal, by using high-temperature steam to soften and dissolve the paint without damaging the underlying structure. 
 
Paint Removal  
 
combination of superheated steam and low pressure to soften and lift paint from surfaces, particularly delicate ones like historic brick and stone. This gentle, chemical-free method uses temperatures up to 150°C to break down paint layers, preventing damage that can occur with high-pressure washing or chemicals.
