A clean that disappears as it works.
Three things happen at once when a pellet hits a contaminated surface — and the result is the cleanest non-abrasive process available.
Pellets sublimate on contact
We blast solid CO₂ pellets at the contamination. The pellets sublimate — turn instantly to gas — when they hit the surface.
Contamination lifts away
No water, no chemicals, no abrasive media residue. Just the contamination, lifted off and falling clear of the surface.
Surface stays intact
Original paint, decals, electrical components and food-grade surfaces are unaffected. There’s nothing left to dry, rinse or clean up.
Why dry ice vs traditional methods.
For most professional cleaning where surface integrity, residue or downtime matter — dry ice wins on the issues that decide the outcome.

Common questions
The questions we get asked most often. Service-specific questions are answered on each service page.
What is dry ice blasting?
Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive industrial cleaning method that uses pellets of solid CO₂ (dry ice) accelerated with compressed air. The pellets sublimate — go from solid directly to gas — when they hit the surface, lifting contamination away in a single pass without water, chemicals or abrasive media residue.
How is it different from sandblasting or steam cleaning?
Sandblasting uses abrasive media that erodes the surface and leaves grit residue everywhere. Steam cleaning uses water and detergent, leaving moisture in connectors, looms and porous materials. Dry ice is non-abrasive and 100% dry — the only "residue" is the dirt that fell off.
Is dry ice cleaning safe for electrical components?
Yes. CO₂ pellets are non-conductive. With appropriate procedures, electrical equipment can even be cleaned while energised — something water- or solvent-based cleaning can never do.
Will it damage paint, decals or original finishes?
No — when applied at the right pressure. Dry ice removes contamination layered on top of a finish without disturbing the finish itself. We tune pressure per surface and test on inconspicuous areas first for any sensitive job.
How long does it take?
It varies by service. Engine bay cleans typically run 2–4 hours, full-vehicle restoration 2–5 days, food production lines per shift, restoration zones per zone. Our quote form gives you a duration estimate after you tell it what you need.
How much does it cost?
A typical engine bay sits between $480 and $950. Restoration and industrial work is quoted per scope — send us a brief for a postcode-specific estimate, or request a quick quote and we’ll come back within 24 hours.
Where do you operate?
We service the Central Coast NSW corridor — Sydney up to Newcastle. Based at West Gosford, mobile to your site. See the locations page for the full coverage list including suburbs.
Do you come to me, or do I bring it to you?
For most jobs — auto detailing, restoration, marine — we come to you. For specialty work (concours preparation, body-off restoration) we use partner workshops with extraction. Industrial work is always on-site.
