Stone Cleaning London
Stone Cleaning in London:
What is Stone Cleaning?
Stone cleaning is like giving a bath to buildings! In a city like London, where history meets the modern day, many buildings are made from stone. Over time, these stone surfaces can get dirty and lose their sparkle. That’s where stone cleaning comes in! It helps make the buildings look new and beautiful again.
Why is London Special?
London boasts a rich history, evident in its numerous historic buildings like the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. Made of stone, these magnificent structures require regular cleaning to maintain their grandeur.
How Does Dirt Happen?
You might be wondering, “How do buildings get dirty?” Well, because pollution from cars, rain, and even birds can make the stone look less shiny. Sometimes, yucky stuff like mould and algae can also grow on it. Yuck!
How Do We Clean It?
There are different ways to clean stone buildings. Here are some:
- Water Cleaning: Using pressure washers to wash away the dirt. Hot or cold depending on type of stone and what type of contamination needs removing.
- Doff Steam Cleaning: High temperature (150C) low pressure, low water flow, gently cleans stone.
- Abrasive Cleaning: Swirling vortex removes ground in dirt.
- Soft Wash Cleaning: This is like science fiction! Let the chemicals do the work, safely!
Is it Safe?
Don’t worry! The people who clean these buildings are experts. They wear special clothes and use equipment to stay safe while they work high up.
Fun Facts!
- The Tower Bridge gets cleaned every 5 years.
- Some buildings are so old that they have been cleaned many times throughout history!
Why is Stone Cleaning Important?
If we didn’t clean these buildings, they would start to look old and unloved. Plus, the dirt could damage the stone over time. And expert cleaning helps to keep London looking like the amazing city it is!
Time to Wrap Up!
So, the next time you see a shiny building in London, you’ll know that stone cleaning plays a big part in keeping the city beautiful. Isn’t it cool to think that even buildings need a bath sometimes?
I look forward to helping you get your building super clean,
Yours sincerely
