FAQs

What is DOFF steam cleaning?

DOFF steam cleaning is a specialised method that uses high-temperature steam to clean and rejuvenate various surfaces, often found on historic buildings and office exteriors. We’d recommend having this cleaning completed by professionals to prevent any damages to delicate building exteriors. Our team can accurately assess the exterior condition, choose the right cleaning parameters, and provide post-cleaning treatments for long-term preservation.

What is the difference between DOFF steam cleaning and pressure washing?

DOFF steam cleaning and traditional pressure washing are both techniques used for surface exterior cleaning, but they differ significantly in their approach and effectiveness. Unlike traditional pressure washing, the DOFF system employs a combination of high-temperature steam and low-pressure water to clean more delicately and effectively. This method not only dislodges dirt and grime but also kills organic growth, such as algae and moss at the root, whilst traditional pressure washing uses high-pressure water alone.

What types of surfaces can be cleaned with the DOFF system?

The DOFF steam cleaning system is versatile and can effectively clean a wide range of surfaces. It can be used to clean surfaces made of various materials, including:

Stone: DOFF is well-suited for stone steam cleaning, particularly surfaces like limestone, sandstone, granite, and marble.
Brick: It can remove dirt, grime, algae, and paint from brick surfaces.
Masonry: DOFF can clean masonry structures, including walls and facades.
Wood: It can be used on wooden surfaces, such as decking and cladding, although careful control of the steam is essential to prevent damage.
Metal: DOFF can clean certain metal surfaces, but the suitability may depend on the specific type of metal and its coating.
Render: It is effective in cleaning render, which is commonly used on home refurbishments.
Graffiti removal: The DOFF system is also used for graffiti removal from a variety of surfaces.

It’s important to consult with a professional DOFF steam cleaning service provider to determine the suitability of the system for your specific cleaning needs and surfaces to ensure safe and effective results.

Is DOFF steam cleaning suitable for both residential and commercial properties?

Yes, DOFF steam cleaning is suitable for both residential and commercial properties. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of surfaces and applications. In residential settings, DOFF can effectively clean exterior walls, doors, windows, and more, helping homeowners maintain the appearance and integrity of their properties. In commercial environments, DOFF is equally valuable, as it can clean building facades, monuments and walkways. Whether you have a historical home, a modern office building, or any other structure, DOFF steam cleaning can be tailored to suit your specific needs, providing a thorough and environmentally-friendly cleaning solution for various property types.

How hot does the steam reach during the DOFF cleaning process?
