Dry Ice Blasting or Sand Blasting For Mold Remediation?

Dry ice blasting is better suited for mold remediation than any other type of blasting, such as sand blasting, water blasting, or soda blasting. Sand blasting is known as an effective cleaning method. However, it is far too abrasive and damaging to the underlying surface being treated. So, after dry ice blasting the structural integrity of the surface being cleaned is usually left in tact. Water and steam blasting do not provide as thorough a clean as dry ice blasting does, and there is a greater chance of causing further damage to the substrate, due to the water vapor and moisture component. Soda blasting is an effective, although messy, cleaning method with regards to restoration. However, the main drawback with soda blasting applies to the other blasting methods as well. It leaves behind a secondary waste stream to be attended to, creating additional cleaning to be done and adding time and cost onto the project. With dry ice blasting, the carbon dioxide gas sublimates into the atmosphere after it impacts the surface being cleaned, leaving no additional waste streams to dispose of.
