Cool Cleaning is a UK based organisation which specialises in delivering Dry Ice Cleaning services in a professional and efficient manner.
Dry Ice Blasting is a new cleaning process used in industrial cleaning applications. It is an environmentally friendly process that can clean many components, extremely effectively, without the use of chemicals, water or abrasion.
Dry Ice Cleaning (also known as Dry Ice Blasting) uses compressed air to accelerate
dry ice pellets to very high speeds.
On impact, the solid dry ice causes the surface of the contaminant to freeze and
crack. The dry ice also expands rapidly, as it reverts to gaseous form, causing
small-scale explosions.
A combination of these effects causes the unwanted deposits to loosen and ultimately
to become detached from the underlying substrate.
NO DAMAGE to the item being cleaned occurs.
Compare your current cleaning methods to the Dry Ice Cleaning process and see how
Cool Cleaning can add value to your business.
Traditional cleaning methods, which include Sand Blasting,
Plastic Bead Blasting, Soda Blasting and the use of Power/Hand Tools are abrasive
and can damage the surface of the item being cleaned. They also leave behind secondary
deposits which can be toxic or cause wear and tear to existing machinery.
High Pressure Steam or Water Blasting cannot be used on live electrical components or in areas
where water run-off is an issue. All machinery and components must dry before being
returned to service.
Solvent cleaning utilises hazardous chemicals which present a potential hazard to employees and can damage the environment. Removal of the toxic
waste is an issue and has an associated cost.
DRY ICE CLEANING has NONE of these drawbacks as the ice pellets sublimate to a gas on contact, leaving behind only
the removed material to dispose of.

Cool Cleaning - Adding Value to your Business
- Prolonged equipment downtime?
- High costs associated with secondary waste disposal?
- Costly wear and tear on equipment?
- High frequency of repeat cleaning?
- Environmental damage and employee exposure to toxic materials?
- Items can be cleaned in situ, more quickly (no time-consuming disassembly), meaning reduced equipment downtime with increased productivity
- Reduced costs as no secondary waste to dispose of
- Less wear and tear on machinery, therefore longer service life and reduced cost of ownership
- More effective cleaning means longer time between each clean resulting in reduced downtime
- A safer, cleaner environment with increased employee satisfaction
Fire Damage Reclamation
Dry Ice Cleaning has revolutionised the way companies are cleaning. It has had demonstrable success in almost ALL industries and its usage is widespread across Central Europe and the USA.
Cool Cleaning provide this service in the UK with specific focus on the food, fire damage, mould remediation, bakery, paper, automotive, printing, manufacturing and marine industries, amongst many more.
Dry Ice Cleaning will remove contaminants such as oil, grease, adhesives, ink, dirt, dust, rust, carbon, soot, pulp, paint, food particles, water lines, mould, and cellulose insulation.
The process is versatile and can be as gentle as removing smoke damage from delicate items or as aggressive as removing encrusted glue and resins.
The following is a list of some of the industries and items that have benefited from the Dry Ice Cleaning process. This is by no means exhaustive - Dry Ice Cleaning can be used in almost any environment:
- Accumulators / Digesters
- Adhesives
- Anti-Fouling Coatings
- Bake-Off Trays
- Beverage Production Area
- Breweries
- Building Exteriors

- Chewing Gum
- Commercial Kitchens
- Compressors / Condensers
- Conveyor Belts
- Cylinders / Vats
- Dyes
- Electrical Relays
- Exhaust Systems
- Fire / Extinguisher Residues

Dry Ice Cleaning is Safe and Environmentally Friendly
- Dry ice blasting is a non-flammable and non-conductive cleaning process, resulting in no damage to electrical parts and no risk of fire
- Dry ice blasting reduces or eliminates employee exposure to dangerous chemical cleaning agents and does not generate toxic secondary waste
- Dry ice blasting is safe to use with food processing equipment
- Dry ice blasting has been approved by the EPA, FDA, and USDA as an acceptable cleaning method
- Dry ice blasting is non-toxic, once pellets impact on the surface they dissipate as gas into the atmosphere
In addition to being clean and safe, it is also important to remember that dry ice is obtained as a by-product of other industrial processes, it is made wholly from reclaimed CO2. Dry Ice Cleaning does not produce any additional CO2 and therefore does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
- Sand, soda, or water blasting can leave toxic secondary waste
- Sand, soda, or water blasting can create downstream contamination that effects surrounding installations
- Soda blasting can kill surrounding vegetation
- Chemical and solvent cleaning methods are toxic, which creates toxic waste to be disposed of
- Workers are exposed to potentially harmful substances through the use of chemicals and solvents
The management team should be aware that if a property insurer can show that the systems employed to protect an installation were inadequate and this led to the loss of all or part of a building, any claim can be disputed. Where the company loses a criminal case, any civil claim will inevitably fail as, under civil law, the burden of proof is on the balance of probabilities rather than beyond all reasonable doubt.
