Dry Ice Blasting & Cleaning
Cleans and restores surfaces across all industries. No chemicals, water or aggressive sandblasting.
Grease, oil, soot, mould and baked-on carbon don’t just sit on the surface and wait.
They work into seams, cavities and intricate detail a sponge or pressure hose can’t reach, and left long enough they break down the finish underneath until a cleaning job becomes a restoration job.
The wrong method makes it worse.
Sandblasting pits and warps the surface, pressure washing forces water into electrics and cavities, and harsh chemicals strip finishes and leave residue.
Whether it’s a classic car engine bay caked in oil, a grease-covered commercial kitchen, fire and smoke damage through a home, or machinery you can’t take offline for days, each needs more than general cleaning.
It needs a method that lifts the contaminant off without touching the surface underneath, without water and without chemicals.
Summit Blasting is a specialist dry ice cleaning and surface restoration service on the Gold Coast, also serving Brisbane, and the team has the equipment and the method to clean and restore your item, vehicle, part or surface without the damage other methods leave behind.

How Ice Blasting Cleans and Restores Your Surfaces Without Touching the Finish Underneath
Â
What you need isn’t a harder scrub or a stronger chemical, it’s a non-abrasive, chemical-free method and the right equipment for the job.
Summit Blasting provides specialist dry ice cleaning using the Cryonomic COB81, a professional dry ice blaster that lifts contaminants off with dry ice pellets instead of grit, water or solvents.
The team works across domestic, vehicle, marine, commercial and industrial applications, removing grease and oil, soot and fire or smoke residue, mould, carbon build-up, grime and dust, adhesives, paint and general surface contamination.
The Summit Blasting team can help across the following five areas.
Vehicles
Engine bays, undercarriages, components and parts collect oil, grease and road grime that’s almost impossible to remove by hand.
Summit Blasting cleans these areas with dry ice, reaching into the detail and cavities without forcing water into electrics or pitting metal, which makes it well suited to classic and performance car restoration.
You get a clean engine bay or component without the moisture and abrasion that worry restorers.
Marine
Boat hulls, decks, engines and components take a constant beating from salt, grime and build-up.
Dry ice cleaning strips that contamination away without water blasting it into bearings, electrics or fittings, and without the abrasives that damage gelcoat and metal.
The result is a cleaned surface ready for inspection, service or refinishing.
Domestic
From household fixtures and fittings to outdoor furniture, dry ice cleaning lifts grime, mould and built-up dirt without the water or harsh chemicals that damage finishes.
It’s also suited to fire and smoke damage restoration, where the team removes soot and smoke residue from surfaces throughout the home.
The surface underneath is left intact, not bleached, scratched or saturated.
Commercial
Kitchen equipment, signage, shopfronts and fit-outs collect grease, dust and grime that builds up faster than routine cleaning can keep up with.
Summit Blasting uses dry ice to clean this equipment without chemicals or water, which matters in food preparation areas and around electrical fittings.
It’s a practical way to keep equipment and surfaces in working condition without lengthy downtime.
Industrial
Machinery, production equipment, electrical components and moulds accumulate carbon, grease, adhesive and product residue that interferes with how they run.
Dry ice cleaning removes this build-up without water or grit, so electrical components and intricate moulds can be cleaned without the risk that water or abrasives bring.
There’s no secondary blasting waste left behind, only the contaminant that was removed.

FAQs About Dry Ice Blasting
What is dry ice cleaning?
Dry ice cleaning is a non-abrasive method that fires solid carbon dioxide pellets at a surface to lift off contaminants like grease, soot, mould and carbon. The pellets sublimate, meaning they turn from solid straight to gas on impact, so the only waste left behind is the contaminant that was removed. Summit Blasting carries out dry ice cleaning at its Gold Coast workshop using the Cryonomic COB81.
Will dry ice cleaning damage my surface?
No, dry ice cleaning is non-abrasive and won’t pit, scratch or warp the surface underneath. The dry ice pellets lift contaminants off without the grit used in sandblasting, the water used in pressure washing or the solvents used in chemical cleaning. This makes it suited to delicate finishes, engine bays, moulds and electrical components.
Is dry ice cleaning safe for electrical components?
Yes, dry ice cleaning is safe for many electrical components because it uses no water and no chemicals. Without moisture there’s no risk of water getting into electrics and causing shorts or corrosion, and without solvents there’s no chemical residue left on the parts. This is one reason it’s used on engine bays, machinery and industrial equipment.
What can dry ice cleaning remove?
Dry ice cleaning removes grease and oil, soot and fire or smoke residue, mould, carbon build-up, grime and dust, adhesives and glue, paint and general surface contamination. It works across domestic, vehicle, marine, commercial and industrial applications. The team at Summit Blasting matches the approach to the contamination and the surface being cleaned.
How is dry ice cleaning different from sandblasting?
Dry ice cleaning is non-abrasive, while sandblasting uses hard grit that can pit, scratch and warp the surface underneath. Dry ice pellets sublimate on impact and leave no secondary blasting waste, whereas sandblasting leaves spent media you then have to clean up and dispose of. For surfaces where the finish matters, dry ice cleaning protects what’s underneath in a way grit blasting can’t.
Does dry ice cleaning leave any residue or mess?
No, dry ice cleaning doesn’t leave chemical residue or water behind, because it uses no solvents and no water. The dry ice turns to gas on impact, so the only thing left to clear away is the contaminant that was lifted off the surface. This is a key difference from chemical cleaning and pressure washing, which leave run-off and moisture.
