Whether you’re a detailer exploring undercarriage restoration, a shop owner tackling engine bays, or an industrial tech cleaning heavy machinery, this is the ultimate intro to dry ice cleaning.


❄️ What Is Dry Ice Cleaning?

Dry ice cleaning—also called dry ice blasting—is a non-abrasive, non-toxic cleaning method that uses compressed air to blast dry ice pellets (solid CO₂) at surfaces. As the dry ice hits the surface, it instantly turns to gas, lifting dirt, oil, grease, adhesives, and even paint—all without water, chemicals, or residue.
