We’re proud of our products, we know we produce the most powerful blasting systems in the world, and we want everyone to know about it. But to avoid being too egotistical we’re not going to toot our own horn in this blog - we’re going to let our customers do it. Here’s what SodaBlast users have to say:

“I highly recommend sodablasting, in fact, I have suggested it to several of my friends. Since we finally got rid of all the stinky chemicals involved in dipping, and sodablast the parts, I would NEVER go back.” – Ron

“We Clean an average of 20 square feet per minute when using the SB200 Mobile SodaBlaster.” – Don

“There is an extensive amount of space we have cleaned, and countless hours we’ve put on the machine with very little maintenance, etc. Thanks.” –Steve

“Thanks I really appreciate your concern with my capabilities of generating business! Believe me I have talked to a lot of soda blast distributors over the past couple of days. None were concerned with how I was going to succeed but more so how I was going to pay for a soda blast system.” - Mike

Marine Maintenance:

“The superior finish left by Sodablast saved us days of skilled labour. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using Sodablast again for antifoul removal.” -Karl

“There were multiple layers of antifoul on the Christine Ann and we knew that hand sanding was a daunting task. We were very wary of using abrasive blasting on her spotted gum hull but the Sodablast method proved to be very successful and left the timber intact. I would highly recommend Sodablast to timber boat owners who would normally avoid abrasive blasting” –Graeme

“Hi Benny, I am Mr. Jenny Garcia from ARUBA. I hope ever thing is well with you and your family. Well, what I can tell you, the SodaBlaster machine is one of the best buys that we did. We did 76 boats till yesterday, from 20 ft up to 60 ft boats that is, without counting the car, bike and engines that we did. That machine is one of the best.” - Jenny Garcia

Graffitti and Restoration:

“SodaBlasting is an extremely effective method of paint removal, building restoration and fire/smoke/mould remediation. The key is that the process does not damage the original surface and is environmentally friendly. I was very impressed and would highly recommend SodaBlast to anyone with cleaning challenges in the building and property management industry‘ -Sam

“SodaBlast removed the paint from a wall to be rendered so quickly it was unbelievable. We use the SodaBlast team regularly for paint removal from a variety of surfaces. The best thing is there is no clean up as they did it all!” - Mal

“SodaBlast successfully removed two layers of paint from sandstone on a Heritage building in a fraction of the time of other methods. The finish was beyond our expectations and I highly recommend them.” - Nigel

“Works great on statues, and is great for industrial cleaning. My customers are telling me it saves them time on clean up after the blasting is finished.” - Ken

You already know the SodaBlaster is a great tool for graffiti, auto restoration, food equipment cleaning, boat hull maintenance and fire, flood and mold remediation. But the efficiency of a SodaBlaster is not limited to typical jobs and routine situations. SodaBlast Systems is proving to be the best solution, no matter how unique the problem.

An independent contractor who uses a SodaBlaster was hired for a very unusual job. There was a 108 year old farmhouse whose attic had entertained the town on Friday nights by hosting dances many years ago. Unfortunately, the latter owners had neglected the house, and bats had moved into the attic… so many bats that inches worth of their excrement had to be shoveled out. Contractor Jim Riehl was hired by the renovation company to Dry Ice blast the attic, in hopes of removing the remaining bat feces. Here are Jim’s words:

“The floor boards were still discolored and smelled of the urine and feces (I get some of the loveliest jobs!) Anyway, I set up for ice blasting with my compressor putting out 120PSI and running all 100′ of blast hose up the outside wall of the home and through the attic window. The renovation company guys and owners were standing around watching the set up with great anticipation. As we blasted with the fan nozzle, the ice had only a good affect on the floor board, not poor but not great. Also, during the 5 hours of blasting the hose became as rigid as a steel pipe about 20 minutes into it and stayed that way for the duration of about 2 hours. What a pain in the ‘you know what’.”

“I then ran 75′ of air line up to the blaster and used just the 20′ blast line. It still got as rigid as a pipe and had only a slightly better affect on the floor. We finished about 1/2 of the 1,500 ft in those 5 hours. Embarrassed again, as I told the restoration company and the owner it would take about 4 hours to blast the entire attic floor, and I was basing that on twice the time it would take to soda blast it. We quit and went home. I went back myself 4 days later after I flew a trip and soda blasted the other half of the floor myself in 1 hour! In fact, I spent another 30 minutes re-blasting the dry ice side to remove the smell!”

Dry ice blasting took almost 5 times as long and did not take care of the smell like Soda Blasting did. This is because not only is baking soda an excellent cleaner, but it also absorbs odors (this is why you may have seen a box of baking soda in an old fridge). SodaBlasting is the best solution to any cleaning problem.

If it can blast away years of stain, stink and residue from bats, imagine what it can do for your project! For more information visit SodaBlastSystems.com
