Soda Blasting - A Revolution in Pressure Cleaning

In this blog, we will be looking at soda-blasting, the revolutionary new method of removing built-up dirt that’s damage-free and environmentally-friendly.


APT have been in the commercial cleaning industry for a long time. We've cleaned all types of buildings, machinery and properties using every piece of equipment imaginable. But nothing has changed the way we look at commercial cleaning more than the method of pressure cleaning known as soda blasting.

So what is soda blasting? It is a form of pressure washing that uses specially formulated granules of natural bicarbonate of soda and controlled amounts of compressed air to remove decades of build up from pollution, residues and coatings from virtually any surface without damaging the structure or surface underneath. This is because soda particles fracture into smaller particles on impact thus providing a thorough cleaning action while softening the impact on the substrate. This is the reason soda blasting is a revolution in the cleaning industry, as it is free from the solvents, chemicals and abrasives used in traditional pressure cleaning methods that can cause damage to the building or surface being cleaned.

Another reason soda blasting is making such an impact in the industry is because of the speed in which it works. Because of the way in which the soda particles impact the surface, dirt and waste washes off in a fraction of the time it would take traditional cleaning methods. Also, soda blasting is extremely versatile, as it is effective on virtually any surface (including steel, glass, brick and wood), works against virtually any substance (algae, chewing gum, graffiti paint, rust) and works on both dry and wet surfaces.

All of these benefits make soda blasting stand out as the best forms of commercial cleaning, which is why it is one of our most important methods of cleaning here at APT.
