Commercial Pressure Washing

Commercial pressure washing is a cleaning technique that has a wide range of benefits, from improving the aesthetics of a business to reducing the risk of long-term structural damage and disrepair. Since these services are highly versatile and advantageous, many industries rely on commercial pressure washing to maintain the integrity of their equipment and facilities.

What is Commercial Pressure Washing?

Commercial pressure washing is similar to power washing, a type of cleaning technique that uses water and high-pressure hoses to clean areas such as:

• Trash Chutes
• Buildings
• Sidewalks
• Awnings
• Parking Lots

However, pressure washing differs from power washing in that it utilizes a specialized mixture containing both water and detergent, rather than simply using water. Cleaning crews spray this mixture at high pressures, allowing it to get deeply into concrete and brick without causing any damage. Industrial pressure washing services provide building maintenance that prevents a wide range of problems.

The Benefits of Pressure Washing

Thanks to its detergent mixture, commercial pressure washing offers a significant amount of scrubbing power, making it easier to get a deep clean more quickly. Other benefits of commercial pressure washing include:

Aesthetic Improvements

Commercial pressure washing provides a deep clean for storefronts, parking lots, and other customer-facing areas. It is also one of the most effective ways to remove vandalism and graffiti. Attractive businesses are more likely to bring in customers, and aesthetically pleasing work environments often serve to improve employee morale.

Removes Dirt, Grime, and Odors

Pressure washing removes substances such as dirt, mildew, and other types of mold. This prevents the buildup of dangerous substances, making the building and surrounding area safer and more appealing to both employees and customers.  Pressure washing of building trash chutes and disposal containers eliminates odors and pest infiltration.

Prevents Stains or Permanent Damage

Regular pressure washing helps prevent long-term damage caused by a lack of maintenance. The buildup of substances such as mold, algae, and acidic bird droppings will eventually cause the building to rot. Although pressure washing requires upfront costs, it ultimately saves money by reducing the need for expensive future repairs.

Better Curb Appeal

The fresher and more attractive a building is, the more appealing it will be to potential customers. Pressure washing serves to improve curb appeal by eliminating unsightly grime, stains, vandalism, and chewed gum from both the building itself and from the surrounding sidewalks. These services are particularly important in humid areas where mildew often accumulates on the outside of buildings.

Safety

When algae and mold accumulate on sidewalks, they often create a dangerous surface where employees and customers may slip. Regular pressure washing improves the air quality within the building, as well as the cleanliness and safety of the surrounding sidewalks.
