What Is Doff Cleaning?
Doff Cleaning is an advanced cleaning method that utilises high-temperature steam at low pressure to safely and effectively remove contaminants from various surfaces. The Doff system heats water to approximately 150°C, producing superheated steam that gently cleans without the need for harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.
This technique is ideal for historical buildings, stonework, brick facades, and delicate materials that require a non-invasive approach. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which can be too aggressive, Doff Cleaning ensures that surfaces are cleaned without eroding, cracking, or damaging the material beneath.
Why Choose Doff Cleaning?
Many traditional cleaning methods use high-pressure water or chemical-based solutions, which can harm fragile surfaces. Doff Cleaning, on the other hand, is:
Gentle Yet Powerful – The steam’s high temperature effectively removes grime without damaging the surface.
Chemical-Free & Eco-Friendly – No harsh chemicals are used, making it a sustainable choice.
Safe for Historical & Delicate Structures – Ideal for heritage buildings, monuments, and stonework.
Prevents Regrowth – The superheated steam kills off biological contaminants like moss and algae, reducing regrowth.
Versatile – Effective on stone, brick, terracotta, concrete, and more.
If you’re looking for a safe, eco-friendly, and highly effective cleaning method, Doff Cleaning is the solution.
How Does Doff Cleaning Work?
The Doff Cleaning process is simple yet incredibly effective:
- Water Heating – The Doff system heats water to around 150°C to create superheated steam.
- Low-Pressure Application – The steam is applied gently, avoiding any high-pressure force that could damage surfaces.
- Softening & Lifting Contaminants – The heat breaks down and softens dirt, algae, moss, and pollutants.
- Rinsing & Residue-Free Finish – The loosened debris is washed away, leaving the surface clean and free of chemical residues.
This process ensures a thorough, deep clean without any damage—making it perfect for sensitive materials.
