每年有六百万游客留下他们的印记。
Kärcher is supporting large-scale deep cleaning and maintenance cleaning for the historic sandstone and mosaic floor in Cologne Cathedral. This is the second project for which Kärcher is working in collaboration with the Cologne Cathedral workshop. Kärcher experts are carrying out the first stage of cleaning, whilst also providing expertise and technology for further work to be carried out, at no cost to the cathedral workshop. Here is an overview of the challenges posed when carrying out cleaning tasks in one of Europe's most famous buildings.
数百万英尺留下的痕迹
大教堂的砂岩和马赛克地板可以追溯到19世纪末。从那时起,每年有多达600万游客在上面留下自己的印记,他们把街道上的泥土带进这座历史建筑,这意味着地板的外观受到了影响:砂岩被一层深灰色覆盖,马赛克在几层蜡和护理剂下失去了光辉。
Kärcher与大教堂车间的石材修复师一起,开发了地板深度清洁和维护清洁概念,并于2021年3月开始实施。从那以后,每一个被清理过的部分都会从泥土、石灰和护理剂的下面露出另一块奥本基兴砂岩。使用洗涤器和干燥器进行维护清洁,确保地板的旧光泽尽可能长时间保持。
Using a hot water high-pressure cleaner in combination with a surface cleaner, dirt is removed from the pores of the 4000 m² sandstone floor in the nave with water at a temperature of 80 degrees and a pressure of 1–2 bar. The dirty water produced is immediately removed and directed away, meaning that work can be performed in a very targeted manner without spreading water and steam over a large area.
A layer of wax and care agents that has been applied over decades is removed from the mosaic floor using a Kärcher oscillating single-disc machine. The restorers will then carry out conservation work on the mosaic. After that, a fresh wax layer is applied using a high-speed polishing machine.
大教堂车间的工作人员今后将使用Kärcher洗涤器干燥器对大教堂的地板进行持续的维护清洁。
