Abrasive blasting is a widely used method for removing surface contaminants, encompassing a variety of abrasive blasting medias from highly abrasive (e.g., garnet) to moderately abrasive (e.g., crushed glass) to non-destructive abrasive (e.g., baking soda).

Sodium Bicarbonate (“Baking Soda”) has a long and established history. In 3500 BC, Egyptians used Natron, which was primarily made of Sodium Carbonate.

In the world of restoration, two of the most difficult jobs are fire and mold remediation. Both of these jobs can be made much simpler and safer by abrasive blasting with baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate).
