Commercial Service Guide

More Than Just Water Pressure

Commercial exterior cleaning is not one method used everywhere. Surface type, staining, access, drainage, operating hours, and surrounding property all affect how a project should be approached.

Method Matters

Pressure & Soft Washing

The strongest setting is not automatically the best setting. We match the cleaning method to the material, buildup, and condition of the property.

Pressure Washing

Controlled higher pressure is generally used on durable surfaces such as concrete, certain masonry, curbs, loading areas, and other hard surfaces. Surface-cleaning equipment can provide more even coverage over large areas than a wand alone.

  • Concrete walkways, entrances, and curbs
  • Surface cleaning for more consistent results
  • Pretreatment and degreasing when appropriate

Soft Washing

Soft washing uses low-pressure application and specialized cleaning solutions to treat organic buildup on surfaces that should not be aggressively pressure washed. The solution does the cleaning work while the lower pressure helps protect the surface.

  • Siding, stucco, painted surfaces, and awnings
  • Algae, mildew, mold, and organic discoloration
  • Careful application around landscaping and entrances

Clearer Presentation

Commercial Window Cleaning

Window service can be tailored around storefront glass, office windows, entry doors, frames, sills, tracks, height, access, and how frequently the property needs maintenance.

Exterior Glass & Water-Fed Poles

Water-fed pole systems use purified water and specialized brushes to scrub and rinse exterior glass from the ground where conditions allow. This can be an efficient option for many multi-window commercial properties.

Why purified water? Properly filtered water helps glass dry with fewer mineral spots because it does not leave the same dissolved solids found in ordinary tap water.

Traditional Detail Cleaning

Traditional tools can be used where hands-on detailing is needed, including entry doors, interior panes, edges, frames, sills, and tracks. Service can be scheduled around customer traffic and operating hours.

  • Interior and exterior service options
  • Frames, sills, tracks, and entry doors as requested
  • Hard-water and mineral staining evaluated separately

Customer-Facing Areas

Storefronts & Entrances

Storefront cleaning can combine several services into one visit: walkways, concrete entrances, curbs, exterior walls, canopies, signs, glass, gum removal, and spot treatment. The scope can focus on a single entrance or multiple tenant spaces.

One-Time Cleaning

Useful before openings, inspections, events, leasing photos, or seasonal refreshes.

Recurring Service

Helps control buildup in busy areas before it becomes a larger restoration project.

Large Surface Cleaning

Parking Lots & Garages

Large concrete areas require planning beyond the cleaning itself. We consider traffic control, parked vehicles, drains, runoff, oil and grease treatment, equipment access, and whether sections need to be completed in phases.

  • Parking stalls, driving lanes, ramps, curbs, and sidewalks
  • Oil and grease pretreatment where appropriate
  • Phased work around business or property operations

Problem Areas

Dumpster Pads & Grease Areas

Dumpster enclosures, loading areas, and grease pads often need heat, degreasers, dwell time, agitation, and careful wastewater planning. These areas may be scheduled after hours or placed on a recurring maintenance plan.

Important:

The exact process depends on the contaminants, surface condition, drainage, local requirements, and where rinse water can be safely controlled.
