A Few Uses for Baking Soda Blasting

Marble Statue in Richmond, VA

Mt. Veron Baptist Church Memorial Gardens in Glen Allen, VA
Problem: Black spray paint painted on marble statue of Jesus. It was recommended to church officials to try paint thinner to remove the paint. Although a small amount of the paint came off, it basically made the situation worse. When they called Norton Sandblasting Equipment, we advised that baking soda might do the job. We contacted one of our customers, Energy Conservation Inc., of Richmond, VA. Bill Green made a site visit, performed some tests and determined that he could clean the statue. Actual blasting time was approximately 4 hours.

Before

After

A Richmond, VA homeowner had a small leak in a hot water line under her house. Over a period of time this leak resulted in an extreme mold problem. Energy Conservation Inc., of Richmond was called to survey the situation. They determined that Armex baking soda was the best way to remove the mold. Six bags of Armex was used to remediate the 1,250 square feet crawl space and it took one day.

The Cleaners
Does your pressure wash chemical allow you to achieve these types of results? If not, we would like to recommend that you try using what we have found to be the best formulation on the market.

Manufactured by Arm & Hammer®, ARMEX™ puts the muscle in your power washed to achieve superior results. ARMEX removes carbon, grease, oil, gasket materials, surface corrosion, paint and coatings from a wide variety of alloys, metals, plastics and composites without substrate damage or distortion. Even leaves hard anodized coatings intact.

Arm & Hammer, ARMEX reduces cycle time by cleaning, degreasing, depainting in one easy step. Unlike glass beads or plastic media abrasives, AMREX requires no prewash and it’s water solubility allows for complete rinsing, eliminating the risk of spent media lodging in those tight spaces and critical paths of the work piece.

Hydroflex formula XL is specifically designed for use with power washers and has the scouring power of baking soda. It cleans more quickly and more efficiently than other methods, removes paint quickly and completely, reduces disposal concerns and can be safely washed down sewer systems.
