To start DOFF cleaning your property, hire NW Wash professional steam cleaning services today to ensure that your surfaces are cared for and brought back to their former glory, no matter how long it's been.
Our teams of DOFF cleaning specialists are trained to use the highly complex machine, meaning that they can renew your surfaces without causing any long-term damage like other cleaning processes might.
A DOFF cleaning system is a type of cleaning system that uses incredibly high-temperature steam. The steam comes out of the nozzle end at low pressure, as opposed to other techniques that pump high-pressure water out of the nozzle end.
It is essentially a low-pressure superheated steam cleaning device created by Stonehealth Limited who noticed that stone cleaning techniques, particularly for fragile stone, weren't working well enough. They designed and made the DOFF machine to clean historical buildings and soft surfaces that might be damaged by other cleaning processes. Since then, it's been used for a multitude of cleaning purposes.
The DOFF system is perfect for use on a historical building in Foulridge, but it is also great for use both in and out of the home and the workplace. Designed for delicate materials, it causes no damage and leaves no harsh chemicals. It's perfect for the gentle removal of unwanted material from surfaces and is one of the quickest and most efficient cleaning methods.
While the DOFF steam cleaning system was designed to clean stone, that's not the only surface that DOFF cleaning can be used on. DOFF cleaning can pretty much be used for everything from stone cleaning to pool cleaning.
The DOFF system is suitable for:
The time it takes for DOFF cleaning largely depends on the size of the surface that needs to be cleaned. Talking to our DOFF steam team today about the project at hand may help us to determine how long the DOFF steam system might take.
However, once the wall, floor or other surfaces are cleaned, it only takes a very short amount of time for the surface being cleaned to dry. DOFF cleaning was designed to reduce the risk of trapping moisture, and as a result, the high-pressure steam dries very quickly.
This lends the DOFF steam system to use in high-traffic places such as hospitals, swimming pools and kitchens, as it means that the premises do not need to be closed for extensive periods of time in order for the DOFF steam cleaning process to occur.
We will supply the DOFF system with water which is pumped into a hot box. There, it is rapidly heated until it reaches temperatures of around 150 degrees Celsius. Once ready, the water is fed through heat-resistant hoses to the nozzle end. The steam is then pumped out at 3 to 5 litres per minute.
Over the other services available, why should you choose DOFF methods? What separates our DOFF services from our other cleaning services?
By using steam cleaning systems with such high-temperature steam, these usually difficult cleaning jobs are simple and easy. Whether cleaning for concrete renovations or just trying to remove biological matter from delicate surfaces, a DOFF steam clean will make the process effortless.
Despite being designed for stone surfaces, DOFF cleaning equipment can be used on both internal and external materials and surfaces. DOFF cleaning equipment is regularly used to clean swimming pools, medical centres, schools, kitchens, food production areas and even offices.
Since the high-temperature steam is effective at removing everything from chewing gum to bacteria, DOFF is great for a multitude of interior and exterior cleaning jobs.
The high-temperature steam system used by DOFF machines kills algae moss and biological matter without any need for harsh chemicals. This makes it inherently more eco-friendly. It also leaves no harmful residue on the surface being cleaned.
DOFF machines use significantly less water per minute than other cleaning methods, too, making it great for businesses or homes focussed on achieving a low carbon footprint.
When used by professionals, the DOFF cleaning system can make cleaning tasks incredibly quick work. Regardless of whether our team of professionals are concrete cleaning, brick cleaning or using delicate cleaning techniques on historic buildings, the work will be done quickly and efficiently because the DOFF integra system allows us to clean surfaces easily.
Since DOFF cleaning techniques are so fast, by hiring our team when it comes to cleaning stone, concrete surfaces or other surfaces, you will be saving money on labour costs.
Additionally, since DOFF cleaning uses such gentle pressure and superheated steam, we will cause absolutely no damage to the surface being cleaned. This will save you from having to pay out to fix the surface which you might have to do with other cleaning processes like pressure washing.
It might seem like a good idea to hire a DOFF cleaning system to restore your building to its natural beauty, but this is ill-advised. For one, it is incredibly unlikely you'll find a rentable DOFF steam cleaning system, but even if you could, the machines are complex.
Our teams do extensive training and gain extensive experience with the DOFF machine and the DOFF cleaning process before they are allowed to use it on commercial properties or heritage buildings. While it may seem like it is just using heated water to remove foreign substances, the DOFF machine can be dangerous if used incorrectly, and so it is always best to rely on professionals to use a DOFF system.
The difference between a DOFF steam cleaner and other steam cleaning methods is that the DOFF machines use super high temperature water. The temperatures used by other steam cleaning equipment are nowhere near and therefore are nowhere near as effective at removing discolouration.
DOFF steam cleaning system also uses much less water than other steam cleaning kits, and because it is so effective at what it does, it does not require any pre-treatment.
With steam cleaning or pressure washing, pre-treatment is necessary to remove paint, wax coatings or anything like that. This makes the DOFF restoration process much easier.
Pressure washing or power washing is an incredibly harmful cleaning process that can cause irreparable damage to surfaces. It can cause cracking and chipping, and in some cases can also cause thermal shock which is when the material experiences too many rapid temperature changes and cracks as a result.
