Abstract: An ice blasting cleaning system including an ice maker that creates ice particles, a hopper into which the ice particles enter, at least one mist nozzle that introduces a mist of water and air into the hopper, and a blasting gun that receives the ice particles and propels them toward the surface to be cleaned. In one embodiment, the ice maker includes a sizer that determines the size of the ice flakes produced. An ice blasting cleaning method includes the steps of creating ice particles that enter a hopper in which they are sprayed with mist and propelling the ice particles toward the surface to be cleaned.
