Parking Lot Cleaning
Parking Lot Cleaning
When you first reach a business premises, the first thing you notice is the outdoors, first impression counts a lot in business. What impression does your office, shop, garage, or factory exterior give about your business?
Car Park and Pavement Cleaning
In our experience most businesses think about entrances and signage, but often forget about the impact for the approach to the building, whether it’s a car park, pavement, or forecourt. Like anything else, these areas get dirty, but dirt and grime build up gradually, we usually do not notice it when we’re using the area or walking across it every day.
Cleaning the car park and other external areas can really make a difference to appearance of the outside space of a property – so what to do?
Pressure washing pavements, patios, and forecourts
Pressure washing is fast and effective. To tackle the problem, the first thing to do is to remove weeds and moss from between any slabs or pavers, then sweep the surface to get rid of surface debris – if you don’t do that, pressure washing will just move the dirt around. Whilst it is appealing to blast the dirt away and get it over with, you really need a gentler approach to avoid damaging the surface. Use a pressure washer with high water volume and lower pressure to reduce potential damage to concrete or block paving.
Cleaning Block Paving
Block paving is becoming more common in car parks and forecourts, as it looks good if it’s maintained and can also be used as part of a water management system to make sure any water runoff is not harmful to the environment.
The ideal way of cleaning block paving is to do it regularly, say about twice a year, by giving the area a good sweep and scrubbing with soapy water. In the real world however, it is hard to be so disciplined and so more robust cleaning methods should be employed such as a pressure washer. The pressure washer is a powerful machine and should be used with care, over enthusiasm can damage the stonework and remove the jointing sand. It should be used at an angle to the paving or even better, be used with an attachment like the Whirl away which distributes the spray more evenly over the surface.
Pressure cleaning or jetting generates a lot of water naturally and there can be a tendency for overspray, so whilst you’re cleaning one thing, you might be spraying dirty water on to something else. To avoid this, flat surface cleaners like the Whirl away rotary surface cleaner will focus the water where you want it (on the ground!) and will also enable you to cover a large area of concrete or paving, quickly.
