How Laser Cleaning Works

The Process Behind Next-Level Clean, Laser Precision.

01

High-Energy Light, Not Chemicals or Abrasives

Laser cleaning begins with a high-energy pulsed laser that releases short bursts of intense light. These pulses are precisely controlled, allowing us to safely clean delicate items, large industrial machinery, and everything in between. Because the process uses pure light, there are no abrasive materials, no chemicals, and no harsh solvents β€” making it far cleaner and more sustainable than traditional methods.

02

Targeted Absorption: The Contaminant Takes the Hit

Every material reacts differently to light. Our system is calibrated so contaminants such as rust, paint, grease, soot, mold, biofilm, and organic buildup absorb the laser's energy, while the underlying surface reflects or resists it.

This principle β€” selective absorption β€” ensures that:

  • Contaminants heat up quickly
  • The substrate stays cool and protected

It's why laser cleaning works beautifully on metals, brick, concrete, wood, stone, and even historic architectural surfaces.

03

Rapid Heating, Expansion, and Material Release

As the contaminant absorbs each laser pulse, it heats up almost instantly and expands at a much faster rate than the substrate beneath. This rapid expansion triggers one of two natural cleaning effects:

Ablation:

The unwanted layer vaporizes into gas.

Spallation:

The layer fractures into tiny particles that are lifted off the surface.

Because the underlying surface remains cool and intact, these processes remove only the unwanted layers β€” delivering a perfectly cleaned surface without grinding, sanding, or causing damage.

04

Shockwave Breakdown & Clean Extraction

When the contaminant vaporizes or fractures, it produces a micro shockwave that helps push remaining debris away from the surface. Our professional fume extraction system captures these particles immediately, keeping the air clean and preventing residue from settling on nearby surfaces.

This method eliminates the mess, dust storms, and secondary waste associated with blasting, sanding, or chemical stripping.

05

Layer-by-Layer Cleaning for a Perfect Finish

Some contaminants β€” like heavy rust, layered paint, or deep stains β€” may require several passes. The laser removes material micron by micron, allowing for incredible control.

This means we can:

  • Clean aggressively where needed
  • Stay gentle on sensitive surfaces
  • Reveal the original material without damaging it

Whether it's industrial steel or delicate masonry, laser cleaning produces remarkably consistent results.

06

Eco-Friendly and Extremely Versatile

Laser cleaning is one of the greenest cleaning technologies available.

It requires:

No chemicals
No blasting media
Minimal consumables
Minimal cleanup

This versatility makes it a safe, powerful, eco-friendly solution for a wide range of restoration and cleaning challenges across Colorado.
