What It Removes
Laser cleaning can help remove rust, oxide, corrosion, paint, coatings, weld discoloration, carbon buildup, residue, and surface contamination from many metal surfaces.

Laser Cleaning
What Is Laser Cleaning?
Laser cleaning is a surface cleaning method that uses focused laser energy to remove contamination from a surface.
It is commonly used on metal to remove rust, oxide, paint, coatings, residue, and surface buildup without using sand, water, or chemical stripping.
The laser is directed at the contaminated layer, where the energy breaks the bond between the unwanted material and the base surface. This allows rust, coating, or residue to be removed in a controlled way. The right settings depend on the material, the contamination, and the result needed.
Laser cleaning is especially useful when precision matters. It can be used for restoration, surface preparation, weld cleanup, machinery maintenance, and cleaning parts where abrasive blasting may be too aggressive or where water and media cleanup are a problem.
Where It Is Used
Common uses include automotive restoration, industrial equipment, machinery, tools, metal fabrication, marine parts, construction equipment, and molds.
Mobile Service
We provide mobile laser cleaning for projects across Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and the Lower Mainland.
Comparison
Laser Cleaning vs. Dry Ice Blasting
Laser cleaning and dry ice blasting are both useful surface cleaning methods, but they are best suited for different jobs.
Laser Cleaning
Often the better choice for rust, oxide, paint, coating removal, weld discoloration, and controlled metal surface preparation.
Dry Ice Blasting
Often better for grease, oil, soot, production residue, grime, and buildup where a dry process and reduced cleanup are important.
Surface Preparation
Laser cleaning can prepare metal surfaces for inspection, coating, welding, restoration, refinishing, or sale.
Project Assessment
For some projects, one method is clearly better. For others, the best choice depends on the surface, contamination, and final goal.
Applications
Laser Cleaning Applications
Laser cleaning is useful when metal surfaces need precise rust removal, coating removal, restoration, or preparation.

Industrial
Industrial Equipment
Clean machinery, metal parts, fixtures, and equipment surfaces for maintenance, inspection, or surface preparation.
Marine
Marine Parts
Remove rust, corrosion, paint, and oxidation from metal marine components where controlled cleaning is important.
Metal
Metal Fabrication
Prepare metal surfaces for welding, coating, inspection, refinishing, repair, or follow-up cleaning.

FAQ
Laser Cleaning Questions
Can laser cleaning remove rust?
Yes. Laser cleaning is commonly used for rust and oxide removal on metal surfaces. The result depends on the depth of rust, material condition, and required finish.
Can laser cleaning remove paint?
Yes. Laser cleaning can remove many paints and coatings. Coating type, thickness, and surface condition affect how long the process takes.
Does laser cleaning damage metal?
Laser cleaning can be very controlled, but the correct settings matter. The surface and desired finish should be reviewed before cleaning.
What should I send for a quote?
Send photos or video of the surface, the project location, what needs to be removed, approximate size, access details, and your preferred timeline.
