Staining, soiling and biological growth that's decades, or even centuries old ago doesn't easily go away.  Over the span of time, contaminants virtually cement themselves to aging, fragile masonry. They can penetrate the stone, brick and mortar, to where ordinary cleaners can't reach.

Turn back the hands of time. Why clean old buildings?

It's a fact: Clean buildings look better than dirty buildings. They're more valuable and better places to live, work or shop.  As restoration cleaning peels away decades of grit and grime, architectural treasures are often revealed where once there were only deteriorating public eyesores.

Heavy surface staining and deposits contribute to masonry decay. Cleaning is usually the first step in arresting and repairing the deterioration.  Some historic buildings become so covered with paint and grime, conservators can't accurately assess the building's condition.  Cleaning may bring to light signs of deteriorating metal anchors or flashings, cracks, missing mortar joints and other serious problems. Restoration cleaning is often the first step in the diagnostic process.

Preserving our nation's architectural landmarks helps us maintain links to our past.  Some might even say it's a responsibility we owe to future generations.

PROSOCO wants you to succeed.

When it's time to clean away decades of carbon crusting, atmospheric staining, paint, biological soiling and other fingerprints of Father Time, PROSOCO has the products, information and technical support you need to leave your project - and your reputation - looking sharp.
