Mold or lichen can creep in and cause long-term damage.

High pressure cleaning is ideal for removing embedded dirt from tough surfaces such as concrete or stone.

Benefits :

• Fast and efficient.

• Removes the most stubborn dirt, such as moss or pollution.

Case study:

In a house in Draguignan, a concrete facade blackened by pollution regained its shine in one day thanks to high-pressure cleaning.

Pressure settings have been adjusted to prevent damage to seals.

2. Scrubbing and aerogommage: Gentleness for delicate surfaces

Chemical cleaning uses specific products to dissolve dirt , grease or rust stains.

Benefits :
