What Is Steam Cleaning?
Steam cleaning is a gentle and effective method of removing dirt, algae, moss, and staining from surfaces that cannot withstand high pressure. By using superheated water vapour delivered at low pressure, this method loosens and lifts grime without saturating or eroding the material beneath.
Benefits of steam cleaning:
- Non-invasive, surface-safe process
- Reduces moisture risk to porous surfaces
- Kills moss, algae, and organic contaminants
- Suitable for cleaning stone monuments, garden walls, and heritage facades
- Ideal for Cornish granite and rendered walls
Unlike standard pressure washing, which can force water into cracks and joints, our steam cleaning method is controlled and preserves the integrity of older or more fragile building materials.
Where Steam Cleaning Works Best
Cornwall’s coastal climate leads to moisture build-up and biological growth on external surfaces. Steam cleaning is particularly suited to homes and commercial properties in this environment. We commonly use this technique for:
Granite Wall Cleaning: Cornish granite is beautiful but porous. Our steam treatment gently lifts staining and organic growth without forcing water into the stonework.
Render & Pebbledash: For light discolouration and moss on render or pebbledash, steam cleaning is a chemical-free option that provides an instant improvement in appearance.
Patio & Pathways: Stone and slab patios benefit from steam cleaning to refresh their look without damage to joints or pointing.
Heritage & Listed Buildings: Many older buildings across Cornwall, especially in towns like Truro and St Ives, have heritage protections. Steam cleaning meets conservation cleaning standards and is often preferred over aggressive techniques.

Understanding the difference between these services is essential when deciding how to maintain your exterior surfaces.
