saw a discussion on a bike forum where a guy accidentally "Ice Blasted" a section of car carpet..

From the looks and thoughts of it, the foundation is going to get frozen, right?








Showers?

Makes no sense . What happens when it thaws?

STUPID

Not familiar with this process. Seems very smart and clean. Carpet this was done to doesn't look too clean.

Pretty slow, it'll take couple of days to clean one rug the way that guy is moving.

Not just too slow. Start with the $15K + price for the blasting unit, $7-10k for the air compressor to drive it, the cost of buying dry ice for every use to the slow progress and it becomes one of the silliest possible ways to clean carpet.

There's a better purpose for the system though; replacing other blast media in certain situations.

The cool (sorry) thing about dry ice is that there is no blasting media residue added to to your disposal process.
- Sandblast lead-based paint and you add the weight of all the sand used to the hazmat clean-up cost. Dry ice just dissipates.

Dry ice blast greasy smoke residue and the blast residue become a non sticky dust. You can blast smoke and burn damaged surfaces and use a fan and HEPA filter bag to catch the residue.

We cleaned the 50-year build-up of tarry grease/dust combo from our pole conveyor system by ice blasting. We just had to sweep up the dust.
