Laser Cleaning Soot From Fire Damage | Deep Cleaned | Insider

Laser cleaning is a non-contact method of removing grime and surface contamination. It works by sending short pulses of light that are absorbed by coating particles like rust and paint. The interaction causes these particles to detach from the surface. Kevin Harrison, who is the owner of Project Laser in Western Australia, walks us through how he uses lasers to remove soot from fire damage on exterior and interior walls.

After explaining safety precautions he says "you could laser clean with your eyes closed." This is truly amazing though! Not having to use chemicals or anything that'd potentially ruin whatever it is being cleaned.

[@maxhouseman3129]

He said it, because in the sentence before he explained, that you can hear the perfect working distance with your ears. It's like driving a car by ears, just because you hear the motor noises. That is not related to safety.

[@AvoidTheCadaver]

You'd have to be very mindful of what the paint pigments are made of. The laser is doing a process called ablation. You can think of it as a light jackhammer. While the big laser might be a 200W, that's measured at continuous wave output. When you pulse a laser you're looking at peak power as the key performance criterion, which is a function of the pulse duration and frequency. When you ablate something you're dumping all the energy in your pulse into the target to vaporize it. If it's a highly volatile oxidative material you can get it to ignite, so you gotta be careful.

[@JJFX-]

What blows me away is the ability to tune it so that you can clean delicate materials that are even potentially flammable without damaging the surface. Removing surface contaminates from a wall without affecting even the painted surface is just extraordinary. I hope we get to a point where a significantly toned down version can be feasible as a household product.

[@projectlaser]

Glad you appreciated our expertise JJ, plenty more on our KZbin page

[@sethdrake7551]

The big problem with lasers is its REALLY easy to laser your or someone else's eyes; lasers can go quite far and if they hit a reflective surface they can bounce to unexpected locations, this is why they always use laser goggles and put up those light absorbing fences

[@GeomancerHT]

This needs to be toned even down in power so human can use it to safely bath without using water, that would be an amazing breakthrough for saving water and also space travel.

[@henkkaa88]

This is because the soot is black and absorbs light easily.

[@JJFX-]

@@henkkaa88 That makes perfect sense. So realistically this would be much harder if the goal was to remove graffiti or something similar.

[@NoahHagen]

You had me a Molotov cocktail 😂

[@scarlettroger1508]

This has to be one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever seen. It looks like an easy process, soot, wall, laser, clean, but it’s so far from it.

[@garyrice9057]

This is cool, but I'm more curious about the story of the house - Molotov Cocktails and kicked-in doors? You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

[@projectlaser]

We will have a youtube video up soon!

[@bradleythornock8627]

That was the calmest way I’ve ever heard someone say “Molotov cocktail thrown into the house.” Is this a common thing in Australia? I’m an American so I’m used to crazy mindless violence, but damn

[@MrZoomah]

Living in his city this is very rare. Likely bikey violence which is in decline. I live in a bushfire zone. Despite my house being bushfire resistant smoke damage is very expensive. Good to know there's someone like this here. (Hopefully he's not too expensive)

[@matta5498]

My thoughts exactly.

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

It’s definitely not a common thing in Australia!
