Providing commercial owners the ability to dramatically reduce downtime and, thereby, reduce costs, dry ice blasting is far superior to the cleaning methods typically used - water or soda blasting. This, of course, is of great interest to insurance companies also. Following is a list of how CO₂ blasting can be of benefit:

• Costs related to business interruption can be lessened

• Length of business interruption can be shortened - quicker cleaning; furniture and equipment doesn't have to be moved

• Black mould can be eliminated from wood structures

Soot and smoke damage can be eliminated from most surfaces
