Soda Blasting Across Connecticut, New York & Massachusetts
FDA GRAS biodegradable sodium bicarbonate media for graffiti, mold, smoke soot, historic timber, classic cars, marine hulls, and food-plant production lines. Softer than dry ice, water-soluble, suitable for food-handling environments, SHPO-friendly, with written test patch approval on every historic and industrial scope.
Mold On Soft Wood Framing
Mold growth on pine, fir, hemlock, and spruce framing lifted with sodium bicarbonate media at low pressure. Softer than dry ice for fresh lumber, kinder to grain, and compatible with a water catch if the job calls for wet recapture. Leaves surfaces slightly damp, ready for antimicrobial treatment.
Grain-friendly · Low pressure
Graffiti Removal On Brick And Stone
Spray paint, marker, and tag removal from brick facades, limestone, fieldstone, and poured concrete. Water-soluble bicarbonate rinses off cleanly with a light hose-down rather than leaving residue in mortar joints. Preferred on historic masonry where sand or walnut-shell media would pit the face.
Mortar safe · Clean rinse
Fire And Smoke Soot Cleaning
Smoke staining, light char, and creosote drawn out of porous surfaces like drywall, plaster, concrete block, and exposed timber. Bicarbonate media deodorizes as it lifts, which is useful in structure fires where soot odor survives visible cleaning. Follow-on ozone or hydroxyl treatment scoped separately.

Additional Soda Blasting Services
Classic Car And Aluminum Restoration
Classic car bodies, aluminum panels, chassis, and engine compartments stripped of old paint, undercoat, and surface rust without warping sheet metal or embedding media in weld seams. Concours-safe on thin-gauge panels where sand or plastic media would deform the substrate.
Stone, Concrete And Masonry Cleaning
Limestone, sandstone, granite, brownstone, precast concrete, and decorative masonry cleaned of atmospheric soiling, biological growth, and paint residue. Water-soluble rinse keeps the site clean and keeps media out of storm drains. Written test patch on every historic masonry scope.
Food-Handling Industrial Equipment
Sodium bicarbonate media is FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) for human consumption, making it suitable for cleaning bakery conveyors, brewery tanks, dairy processing lines, and commercial kitchen hood systems. The process is suitable for food-handling environments. Residue wipes off with a potable-water rinse, and HACCP-style records capture media lot, application, and clearance.
Historic Timber And Barn Restoration
Hand-hewn barn timbers, antique heart pine, and chestnut frames restored without stripping patina down to raw wood. Low-pressure bicarbonate at 20 to 40 psi removes surface grime and paint overspray while leaving tool marks and weathering history intact. SHPO-friendly workflow standard.
Marine Fiberglass And Teak Deck
Boat hulls, teak decks, gelcoat, and aluminum trim cleaned of oxidation and biological growth without stripping finish. Teak responds well to bicarbonate because the media is softer than the wood, so it removes silvered surface without cupping the grain. Done slip-side or on the hard.
Boat Hull Antifouling Paint Removal
Multi-layer antifouling bottom paint, barrier coat, and old gelcoat patches removed from fiberglass and aluminum hulls without grinding or chemical strippers. Environmentally preferred at boatyards because spent media plus paint chips are captured in a tarped containment and disposed per state regs.

Biodegradable Bicarbonate
Spent media is water-soluble and rinses off the site with a hose-down or captured in tarped containment. No hazardous classification on the media itself, just whatever contaminant was removed.
Graffiti + Mold + Soot
One media handles three of the most common specialty-cleaning scopes: tag and paint removal from brick and stone, mold lift from soft framing, and smoke-soot deodorizing on porous substrates.

Soda Blasting FAQs
Clear answers about soda versus dry ice, food-safe FDA compliance, historic masonry, spent media disposal, graffiti ghosting, and cost comparisons with sandblasting across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts.
Two different tools for two different jobs. Dry ice blasting uses frozen CO2 pellets that sublimate to vapor on impact, so the job site stays dry and the waste stream is just the contaminant. Soda blasting uses sodium bicarbonate media that works softer and wetter, is water-soluble, and is FDA-recognized as food-safe. Dry ice wins on speed, zero residue, and moisture-sensitive attics. Soda wins on softer substrates, food-plant contact surfaces, classic car sheet metal, and historic patina where dry ice would still be slightly too aggressive.
Yes. Sodium bicarbonate on the Mohs hardness scale is roughly 2.5, softer than pine at about 4. That means the media breaks against the wood rather than cutting into the grain. Low-pressure settings of 20 to 60 psi are used for historic timber, patina oak, and antique chestnut. A written test patch is approved by the owner before full-scope blasting, and bicarbonate leaves a slight alkaline residue that is neutralized with a rinse step.
Yes. Sodium bicarbonate is FDA-recognized as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) and is the default food-plant blasting media for exactly that reason. It is the same chemistry as consumer baking soda, just purified and graded for blast-media particle size. A final potable-water rinse removes any residue. HACCP records document media lot number, application zone, and post-blast clearance. Bakery ovens, brewery tanks, dairy conveyors, and commercial kitchen hoods are routine scopes.
It is the preferred media for most historic masonry. Sand, walnut shell, or crushed glass can pit the face of limestone, brownstone, and soft brick. Sodium bicarbonate is soft enough to clean soiling, biological growth, and graffiti paint without cutting into the stone face. A written test patch and SHPO-friendly workflow are standard on every historic scope, with side-by-side before-and-after photos signed off by the owner before full-scope blasting.
Sodium bicarbonate is water-soluble, so the job site is cleaned up with a hose rinse that washes spent media to a vegetated area or collected catch. On boatyards and bridge jobs the spent media is captured in a tarped containment along with removed paint chips and disposed of per state environmental regulations. Media has no hazardous classification on its own, so disposal is driven by whatever was removed, not by the bicarbonate itself.
