Question 1

How does dry ice blasting remove marine growth from yacht hulls in Punta Gorda?

Accepted Answer

Dry ice blasting accelerates solid CO2 pellets at supersonic speeds to impact marine growth, barnacles, and gelcoat oxidation. The extreme cold (-109°F) causes thermal shock that fractures organic buildup, while kinetic energy lifts it from fiberglass surfaces. The CO2 sublimates instantly into gas, leaving zero residue or wastewater. This process cleans yacht hulls, teak decks, and engine compartments in Punta Gorda marinas without abrasives or chemicals that could damage gelcoat or pollute Charlotte Harbor.

Question 2

Can you clean healthcare equipment without contaminating medical facilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dry ice blasting is FDA-approved and ideal for Punta Gorda healthcare facilities. The process uses food-grade CO2 that sublimates completely—no water, chemicals, or secondary waste that could compromise sterile environments. We remove mold, bioburden, and biological contaminants from HVAC systems, medical equipment, and hospital infrastructure while maintaining infection control standards.

Question 3

What marine contaminants can dry ice blasting remove from boats and yachts?

Accepted Answer

Dry ice blasting removes barnacles, marine growth, bottom paint, gelcoat oxidation, oil stains, exhaust residue, salt deposits, mold, and mildew. In Punta Gorda yacht facilities, we clean fiberglass hulls, teak decks, engine compartments, bilges, and stainless steel hardware—removing years of marine buildup without damaging substrates or creating wastewater discharge into Charlotte Harbor.

Question 4

Is dry ice blasting safe for yacht gelcoat and fiberglass surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive and won't damage gelcoat, fiberglass, or marine finishes. The process removes contaminants without etching, pitting, or surface degradation. We safely clean luxury yacht surfaces, restore oxidized gelcoat, and prepare hulls for bottom paint throughout Punta Gorda marinas—preserving surface integrity and resale value.

Question 5

Do you need to haul boats out of the water for dry ice cleaning?

Accepted Answer

For hull cleaning, yes—boats must be hauled out. However, dry ice blasting eliminates the need for pressure washing, chemical stripping, and extended drying times. We clean yacht hulls, engine compartments, and bilges immediately after haul-out, reducing yard time by 40-60% compared to traditional methods. Above-waterline cleaning can be performed while boats remain in Punta Gorda slips.

Question 6
