What's Soda-Blasting Then?
Sodablasting is a procedure that uses sodiumbicarbonate as an abrasive medium todeep clean surfaces using special equipment, similar to a power washer. Used mainly on concrete walls and wood floors, soda-blastingimprovesthe visual quality and integrity of surfaceswithout significantly damaging or deteriorating their surfaces by ripping or "blasting off" tons of layers of the surface. In comparison to ice blasting, soda-blasting is intended to preserve this content intact. This is unprecedentedly useful for dealing with historic pieces, support beams and all kinds of plastic and wood material as there are less concerns about damaging structural integrity of the surface.

In 2020, we had many times to use this technique in Howard County Maryland, especially, to clear deeply the surfaces of a log cabin which had a big fire and which not only coated wood but also stained it from all the ash and soot. It was a very necessary technique to use due to the fact that stripping the interior walls would cause issues for the team later when treating the wood. We suggested that this is one of the easiest ways to clean surfaces of wood products that are weakened by fire or mold, as the surface is thoroughly cleaned and the structural integrity of wood is not badly damaged.
