Stone Cleaning

Stone cleaning offers various benefits, including the restoration of appearance, preservation of historical heritage, protection against decay, improved structural stability and increased property value; it's an important maintenance practice that ensures the longevity and beauty of stone structures. Stone surfaces can be susceptible to staining from various sources, including food spills, oils, and chemicals. Stone cleaning employs techniques like spot cleaning or applying poultices to draw out stains and restore the stone's original colour.

Doff Cleaning

The DOFF Cleaning machine is a steam-based, stone cleaning and brick cleaning system. It’s completely unique and unlike any other steam-based cleaning system. It can achieve high temperatures of up to 150°C at the nozzle end, making it a ‘superheated water system’.


Due to its ‘superheat’, it is incredibly useful for removing moss, algae, fungi and other biological matter, and can also kill off spores by completely cleaning the surface it is being used on. This means there’s no need for a chemical biocide during the removal process or as a protection against further biological activity.

How Does Stone Cleaning Work?

Stone cleaning is a process used to remove dirt, grime, stains, and other unwanted substances from the surface of stones, such as buildings, statues, or monuments. The specific method employed for stone cleaning can vary depending on the type of stone, its condition, and the nature of the soiling. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help extend the lifespan of stone surfaces. Plus, by preventing the buildup of dirt, grime, and contaminants, you reduce the need for costly repairs or restoration work in the future.


Stone cleaning is perfect for removing all types of dirt and grime usually found on the outside of a building, but is particularly great for removing:


  • Paint Coating
  • Certain Types of Graffiti 
  • Bird & Vermin Fouling 
  • Algae, Moss & Fungi 
  • Wax Coatings 
  • Chewing Gum Oil
  • Grease and Bitumen
  • Other Biological Matter

How Does DOFF Cleaning Work?

A DOFF machine cleans both stone and masonry using high-temperature steam. Whilst the temperature in the system is high, the pressure on the surface being cleaned is very gentle and the volume of water is low. The surface is therefore not saturated and will be dry within minutes.
