Facade cleaning (chemical cleaning) is one of the most difficult kinds of cleaning services. Special technology, cleaning agents and professional skills are necessary to perform this type of service. Facade cleaning is performed with special chemical solutions, with due regard for the surface specifics and the degree of its contamination. Unfortunately, all this wide range of available cleaning compositions is intended for seasonal facade cleaning only. Such agents can remove only dust.

For the purpose of cleaning the surface of a facade from contamination there used the specialized materials, containing a number of active components, providing rust, soot, oily contamination and wall saltpeter removal. Mendeleev Ltd. manufacturing company produces a line of technical cleaning agents which provide: cleaning the surface of the building’s facade from soot and smut contamination, wall saltpeter, rust stains, removal from the facade fungal and moldy formations chemically, construction mixtures excesses removal after repair works. After cleaning the facade with special agents it acquires its primary view, which is retained for a considerably longer period of time due to the cleaning and protection with hydrophobic impregnations ВАSE – Hydrophobe.
