Uses For Los Angeles Steel Grit

By Jayne Rutledge


You might wonder what could possibly be interesting about Los Angeles steel grit cleaning services. Well, like many other areas of esoteric knowledge in the United States (not to mention the rest of the world), the art of cleaning surfaces is fascinating. California, of course, has all sorts of weather that can cause everything from premature skin aging to rust on metal. The state has lots of boats, notorious for needing arduous maintenance.

All through history, people have needed to clean things. Tools might have been the first things that were honored with this process. History shows us that personal hygiene was not an early priority, and even the medical profession was slow to embrace the practice. However, once people started coming clean, they became very good at coming up with cleaning solutions and aids.

As times change, so does the industry. Sand might be great for cast iron, but it's not so good for non-stick pans. So now we have steel wool and plastic mesh scrubbers. Strong acid cleaners were once used with abandon, but now governmental water and air safety rules make many industrial cleansers illegal. So - steel grit is actually a laboratory product, not, as you might have thought, a waste product being put to new use.

It's not even used because it's 'hard as steel'. In fact, softer grades of the alloy are produced when 'rounding off' is not a problem. However, if it's better that each tiny grain keeps its angular nature, there are harder grades. This variety is valuable when different kinds of surfaces need to be polished and perhaps left with a texture that will hold paint or another coating.

Who knew? Obviously the people who have difficult cleaning projects did, because this is quite a competitive industry. When you read the customizing options that are offered, the 'right from the start' guarantees, and the technical support services that come with the job, you realize that both engineering and craftsmanship enter into this equation.

There are lots of gritty media used in many different industries today. Facial cleansers are made with walnut hulls for gentle abrasion. The same material is used in the maintenance and restoration of wooden boats. Walnut hulls work perfectly and also are biodegradable, so you can feel OK about washing them down the drain or into creeks, rivers, lakes, or oceans.

How about your home or commercial building? You can get professional corn cob blasting for a log exterior! Wow! Sandblast your concrete, brick, or masonry, and all that urban grime is history. Try plastic beads for gentler cleaning projects (as in auto body repair), glass beads for pool tiles (the beads sink to the bottom and you just vacuum them up), or something brand new the lab cooks up for your unusual request.

Learning about Los Angeles steel grit and other cleaning options is fascinating. These products save time and manpower in this day of high labor costs and make many maintenance or restorative tasks possible.
