How Laser Cleaning Works
Laser cleaning technology works by sending nanosecond pulses of laser light to the surface. A laser is a focused beam of light, similar to a normal light bulb. When you shine a laser on an object, it bounces off the surface in all directions. The bouncing light energy is absorbed by organic compounds, which causes them to release heat, gas or vapour. This process removes things like dust, grime, and other contaminants from hard-to-reach surfaces effectively.
Unlike traditional cleaning methods, laser cleaning does not require media, chemicals or water to remove grime and rust. The laser beam gently loosens any dirt from the surfaces without affecting its original colour, texture or condition.
After your surface has been laser cleaned, our experienced technicians will brush away anything that was loosened by laser light and then complete a final sweep with the laser to capture any remnants of contaminants.
Compared to conventional cleaning methods, laser cleaning offers a number of advantages. First, since it uses high-intensity light instead of mechanical means to remove dirt or bacteria, it is gentler on surfaces. Second, because laser cleaning is noncontact—meaning it doesn’t involve any contact with surfaces—there is no danger that delicate objects will be damaged through physical contact. Third, when compared to other methods, such as sanding or scraping, laser cleaning leaves less room for error, produces a more consistent outcome and can be performed faster and with less energy use than sanding or scraping.
