Over time, the exterior surfaces of all buildings become grimed with pollution, organic matter, and stains. This can affect your High Shincliffe home or business negatively, pushing down property values, making a local area appear run-down, or putting off potential clients and customers.
In addition, some of this dirt will eventually damage the substrate, often leading to expensive repairs.
What you need is an effective cleaning method that will restore your walls but which won't cost the earth. Uniwash Team may well have the very solution you've been searching for in the form of TORC cleaning.
The TORC complete stone cleaning system is a non-abrasive, environmentally friendly, highly-efficient cleaning system that uses a mixture of water, fine inert granulate (calcium carbonate), and air to remove grime, carbon sulphation, stains, and graffiti from a variety of surfaces. It is also great for paint removal, particularly when dealing with old brittle paints that are spoiling the look of your walls.
The system is gentle enough to be used on delicate surfaces, such as stone, brick, and masonry, and it is effective in removing a wide variety of contaminants.
The TORC cleaning system works by creating a swirling vortex of water, fine inert granulate, and high-pressure air. The low-pressure vortex is directed at the surface to be cleaned, and the granulate and air particles dislodge the contaminants. The water then washes the contaminants away.
The most distinctive feature of the TORC vortex cleaning system is the revolutionary modulated nozzle that creates a gentle swirling vortex of water, inert granulate, and air that thoroughly cleans without causing surface damage, unlike some traditional cleaning methods.
The TORC vortex cleaning system is a safe and effective way to clean a variety of surfaces. It is gentle enough to be used on delicate surfaces, and it is effective in removing a wide variety of contaminants. The system is also environmentally friendly, as it does not use harsh chemicals or solvents that could also harm the stone's surface (or other materials) and it only uses low volumes of water.
As amazing as these machines are, their success depends on the user; only fully trained operators should ever use TORC systems. This is why we ensure that all of our technicians have the appropriate training before being allowed to operate the equipment.
Here are some of the benefits of using the TORC cleaning system:
It is non-abrasive, using a gentle swirling vortex to clean the surface, so it can be used on delicate surfaces without damaging them. The low air pressure also prevents any damage to the wall.
TORC cleaning is environmentally friendly, as it does not use harsh chemicals or solvents, doesn't require a great deal of energy to run, and only uses a fraction of the water volume that other methods do. If you are keen to reduce your carbon
It is effective in the gentle removal of a wide variety of contaminants, including dirt, carbon, stains, organic and biological matter, and graffiti. Some of these can be extremely difficult to shift using traditional cleaning methods, whereas the TORC system powers through, making it the best solution in many cases.
It is safe to use, as it does not create any harmful fumes or emissions, making it perfect for all environments. It is the preferred method of local councils for cleaning public areas without contaminating the environment.
If you are looking for a safe, effective, and environmentally friendly way to clean your surfaces, Uniwash Team highly recommends the TORC cleaning system.
It is extremely effective and is one of the most efficient methods of cleaning masonry currently available, along with its companion, DOFF cleaning.
TORC's popularity stems from its ability to clean exterior surfaces thoroughly without the use of harmful chemicals. It can also be used on old brick and stone without damaging original stone surfaces or breaking decorative bricks, which is why it is the preferred method of cleaning masonry for organisations like English Heritage and the National Trust.
Aside from brick and stone cleaning in High Shincliffe, this highly efficient cleaning system can be used to restore other materials including concrete, ceramic tiles, render, cladding, terracotta, wood, glass, bronze, aluminium, and copper to pristine condition.
What's more, it does this without using damaging chemicals or harming the substrate beneath.
This is why the High Shincliffe Uniwash Team is proud to showcase the TORC system and recommends this for all kinds of property cleaning.
The TORC cleaning system is perfect for residential and commercial properties in High Shincliffe. It can be used to restore office blocks, factories, public buildings, shops, and houses - wherever there's a grimy surface, the Uniwash Team will be there with the right solution, and in many cases, the TORC cleaning system is perfect for the job.
It's one of the safest and most efficient methods of cleaning masonry surfaces (and others), bringing a fresh-looking finish to your walls, whatever they are made of.
To begin with, both are excellent methods of cleaning masonry, brick, and other surfaces. They were also both invented by Stonehealth Ltd to be used by specialist organisations for stone cleaning projects, particularly on heritage properties and listed buildings.
The main difference between the two is that DOFF steam cleaning uses superheated water, while the TORC system creates a gentle swirling vortex with the addition of safe inert fine granulate that effectively removes many types of contaminants.
One other difference to note is that TORC cleaning uses less water at around 25 litres per hour, while the DOFF system uses something like 5 litres per minute.
Also, TORC cleaning generally uses slightly lower temperatures and pressures than DOFF, making it more suitable for certain situations where the walls are extremely old or vulnerable to damage.
However, each system has its advantages and will be chosen according to the task at hand once the job has been assessed.
Either way, both methods produce amazing results on commercial buildings, heritage properties, and residential houses alike.
We are proud to be part of the TORC cleaning family, providing a high standard of work to all of our customers in High Shincliffe. While we are familiar with the TORC system, not everyone will have heard of it and will, understandably, have questions.
Your walls won't clean themselves, and if you leave them they'll only get worse. Call us today for a no-obligation quote or to learn more about our TORC cleaning service.
Our highly skilled TORC cleaning technicians will visit your premises and restore those walls in no time at all.
No, you probably won't find one for hire, and it isn't a good idea to try. Stonehealth Ltd does hire them out, but only to fully trained operators. In general, TORC systems are sold exclusively to specialist organisations.
They are both excellent machines! However, a TORC machine is even gentler than DOFF and can be used when you need to be extra careful with the substrate in question. We always assess the project and recommend an appropriate method to achieve the best outcome.
Stonehealth Ltd developed the TORC complete stone cleaning system by redesigning and making improvements to its popular JOS system over the last two decades or so. For example, where the JOS system used around 45 litres of water per hour, the TORC system only used about 25.
It's essentially the same machine, but even more effective and has achieved great success so far.
It is very effective at removing paint residues, algae, moss, smoke damage, carbon sulphation (sooty deposits from pollution), graffiti, grease, oil, limescale, bitumen, and tar. It can even handle cement-based paints, leaving the wall looking naturally clean.
