FAQ

What is Doff used for?

Doff heats water to up to 150 degrees, and at these temperatures it will eliminate many forms of organic growth, including moss, algae, lichens, and fungi. It can also be used very effectively to remove paint and graffiti. The high temperature kill the organic growth at root system, so chemical intervention may not always be necessary.  

How does Doff Work?

While pressure washing relies on high pressure to blast contamination from the surface, Doff uses water heated up to 150 degrees, relying on heat rather than sheer power to clean. The steam is actually discharged at low pressure, in minimal quantities, meaning the surface dries quickly. The combination of heat at minimal pressure diminishes risk of damage, and the need for chemical cleaning in some instances.

Doff is Best on What Substrate?

Doff is recommended for many cleaning, restoration, and sterilisation processes. However, it can be used on all types of stone, ceramic tiles, and concrete, substrates. It can also be used on wood, and internally in many commercial premises for sterilisation. It can be used on many render surfaces, but a not all, so always consult when using Doff on render substrates.

How sustainable is Doff to Use?

As Doff uses no chemicals the water and run-off does not need to be segregated or collected in any way. It is totally safe to run back into the earth. Doff is a highly efficient and cost effective system, using minimal quantities of water and energy.
