Abstract

Tests were undertaken to ascertain whether a laser could achieve a better level of cleaning on polyurethane (PU) foam than vacuum cleaning. Optimum laser parameters were set using statistics on data from color measurements. The laser proved to be very effective for the removal of dust, but also caused damage on some PU variants. The laser cleaning was carried out at the National Workshops for Arts and Crafts, Copenhagen, Denmark.
