What Is Professional Test Cleaning?

Test cleaning is a specialized process that involves performing controlled cleaning trials on small, representative areas of a building’s exterior to determine the most effective and least damaging cleaning methods. This process is crucial for developing appropriate cleaning strategies, especially for historic or sensitive buildings.

The process typically includes:

  1. Initial assessment of building materials and soiling conditions
  2. Selection of appropriate cleaning methods for testing
  3. Application of cleaning techniques on discrete test areas
  4. Evaluation of immediate and long-term effects of cleaning
  5. Documentation of results through photography and detailed notes
  6. Analysis of cleaned surfaces using various assessment techniques
  7. Development of recommendations for full-scale cleaning projects

Why Test Cleaning Matters

  • Preservation of Building Integrity: Prevents damage from overly aggressive cleaning methods
  • Optimal Results: Identifies the most effective cleaning techniques for specific soiling conditions
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Avoids costly mistakes in full-scale cleaning projects
  • Historical Accuracy: Ensures appropriate cleaning methods for heritage buildings
  • Environmental Responsibility: Determines eco-friendly cleaning options
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meets requirements for conservation and restoration projects
  • Long-Term Maintenance Planning: Informs ongoing cleaning and maintenance strategies

Concrete is one of the most frequently used building materials. It is used extensively for a wide range of construction work, such as footpaths, driveways and roads, residential and commercial construction – floors and walls, foundations and footings, for posts, fences and walls, and even boat hulls.
Precast concrete is typically stronger than natural cut limestone, but it doesn’t have the look of natural cut stone. Cast Stone, on the other hand, solves both problems. Cast Stone can be stronger than precast concrete and is easily cast to produce identical pieces.
