FAQS
Not sure whether stone cleaning is right for you? Check out our FAQs
What is DOFF cleaning and how does it work?
DOFF cleaning is a specialist superheated steam cleaning system that uses very high temperatures and low pressure to remove dirt, paint, algae, moss, fungi, and pollution from delicate surfaces. It’s a gentle and non-abrasive cleaning method, ideal for stonework, brick, render, and heritage façades, and is trusted for listed buildings and conservation sites across Scotland and the UK.
What is TORC cleaning used for?
The TORC system combines low-pressure air, water and fine granules to safely remove carbon sulphation, brittle paints, and environmental staining. Its vortex action cleans deeply without surface damage, making it perfect for historic buildings, monuments, and intricate stone detailing. With no harsh chemicals required, TORC cleaning is an eco-friendly and sustainable restoration method used throughout Scotland and the wider UK.
Are DOFF and TORC cleaning safe for listed or historic buildings?
Yes. Both DOFF and TORC cleaning are approved and widely trusted by heritage and conservation specialists for use on listed and historic properties. They gently remove contaminants without altering surface texture or fabric. Always check with your local conservation or planning authority before starting cleaning work on protected sites.

What are biocide treatments and when are they used?
Can you remove graffiti from stone or brick surfaces?
Yes. We provide graffiti removal for stone, brick, render, and metal cladding using specialist methods tailored to each surface. Our approach includes controlled steam cleaning, poultice treatments, and eco-safe cleaning gels to remove graffiti effectively without damaging the substrate or leaving ghosting. We restore commercial, public, and heritage properties across Scotland and throughout the UK.
How do you clean white render and protect it from future staining, algae or discolouration?
How do you clean white render and protect it from future staining, algae or discolouration?
White render often develops green algae, red lichen, rust stains and general discolouration due to weathering and pollution. At StoneClean, we restore and protect render using DOFF steam cleaning to remove staining, followed by an eco-friendly biocide treatment that kills algae and lichen spores at the root.
This provides long-term protection against future growth and staining while keeping the surface clean and bright for longer. Our treatments are biodegradable and safe for all render types — including K-Rend, Weber, Parex and traditional painted render — and are available for commercial, residential and public buildings across Scotland and the wider UK.
