After twenty years in the the pressure washing business, if I have learned one thing it is that not all power cleaning is created equally.
Any sidewalk in a city is victim to thousands of pedestrians, bikers, runners, and other foot traffic Which produce chewing gum coffee & soda spills. With this type of wear, you need the best professional cleaners in the area.
There are some companies that have worked hard and invested time and money to bring you the most effective form of sidewalk cleaning. A Real company should be using the latest equipment like a hot water pressure washer and a whisper wash machine.
Also look for a company that applies a environmentally friendly soap to the cement to free dirt, grease, salt, mold, mildew, and other stains from the surface. The combination of the soap and the pressure wash provide your sidewalks with a complete makeover.
Also what about the mess left after washing, are they going to rinse and squeegee the windows before they leave.
Look for a company who makes sure the front and edge curbs of rubber marks and also rinse the bottom half of the building. Will they sweep up any left over debris and make sure to get this all done before your store even opens.
While you want your building to be in tiptop condition, it is just as important for the areas around your building to be clean and presentable as well.
Go with a company that understands sidewalk cleaning. No matter what has come in contact with your sidewalk, man made or natural. The process is this: First apply chemical to the cement that loosens the dirt and grease from the sidewalk.
Then, use a special machine called a whisper wash which spins around. The two pressure jets on the underside of the washer spray high pressure water onto the cement, giving the cement a deep and thorough clean.
While the grease, dirt, salt, mold, and mildew are rinsing away to the nearest drain, make sure they melt off any chewing gum that may have landed on the surface.
City streets and sidewalks that encounter hundreds of pedestrians and bikes require the best and strongest cleaning system. Be sure their machines spit out six gallons of water which is heated to 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Look for a group of professionals dedicated to making sure the sidewalks outside your building are as clean as the building itself.
