Just read a write up on a business that has just set up to do cleaning  by blasting dry ice.

Anyone heard of this before, what applications does it have and how does it work?

Ian, similar to Armex soda blasting but uses dry ice crystals instead of soda. Good for soot removal from brick and stone without damaging the underlying surface. Not new been around for a while.

Been around for some time, it's used in the food manufacturing industry among others.

Pretty specialised and I imagine the capital outlay would be large, to say the least !

It was featured in one of the cleaning magazines a couple of years ago.

Looking at the videos, the applications are what would previously have been carried out with sand blasting or high pressure jetting.

This is hard surface cleaning where the surface being cleaned has to be preserved.
