House of Parliament|Environmental organizations messed up the pillars of the Parliament building with red paint last Wednesday.
Parliament House represents trying to clean today with high-pressure steam without chemicals. For example, the pillars of the house still have traces of the red paint that environmental activists sprayed on them last week.
The real estate manager of the Parliament Sari Turunen tells STT that the poles will be test cleaned today in the morning. The presentation on the cleaning method came from the Finnish Museum Agency, and the cleaning will be carried out by an external company, Ukri.
According to Turunen, the purpose is first to see how steam cleaning works.
“We are trying to find the gentlest cleaning methods possible, and this is, so to speak, at the gentlest end,” he says.
There is no information yet on the final costs of the cleaning, but according to Turunen, the crane costs alone amount to thousands of euros. The Parliament did a so-called first-aid cleaning last week as its own work with a pressure washer. A crane was needed even then, because the paint was sprayed high up.
There is still paint left on the granite columns and especially on their seams. There are also some residues in the metal structures of the doors, says Turunen.
The environmental organizations Elokapina and the Swedish Återställ Våtmarker messed up the pillars of the Parliament building with red paint on Wednesday of last week.
The red paint that messed up the facade of the parliament building was washed away with water last Wednesday.
Remnants of red paint could be seen in the joints of the columns of the Parliament building after the first cleaning on Thursday.
