Exterior cleaning for storefronts, walkways, parking areas, dumpster enclosures, and solar arrays. The part of your building customers see before they get to the door.
What we clean
Walkways, entries, and sidewalks. Removes ground-in soil, gum, and the dark buildup that makes concrete look permanently dirty. Also removes the slick organic film that makes shaded walkways a slip hazard.
Building exteriors and facades. Soft washing for siding, stucco, and painted surfaces where high pressure would cause damage. Chemistry does the work instead of force.
Dumpster and grease enclosures. Degreasing the concrete pad and enclosure walls. This is the single worst-smelling area of most food service properties and the one most likely to generate a complaint. It cleans up better than people expect. See the before and after.
Parking areas and drive lanes. Oil spot treatment, general soil removal, and cleanup of the striping edges.
Storefronts and entry facades. The first two meters of your building, which is what a customer forms an impression from.
Solar panels. Dust and soil on panels measurably reduces output, and Central Oregon’s dry, dusty summers coat them fast. Cleaned with purified water and no abrasives or harsh chemistry, so the panel surface and any coating stays intact.
Drive-thru lanes and service areas. Where food and drink spills concentrate.
Method
Surface dictates pressure. Concrete takes a surface cleaner at high pressure for an even result without wand striping. Siding, stucco, painted metal, and wood get soft washing: low pressure with a cleaning solution that does the work. Using high pressure on the wrong surface strips paint, drives water behind siding, and gouges soft wood, and it’s the most common way pressure washing goes wrong.
Runoff is managed so it doesn’t carry into storm drains.
The Central Oregon part
Winter traction cleanup is the big one here. From November through the spring sweep, Bend streets carry crushed basalt and ODOT’s red cinders. That material ends up across your parking lot, walkways, and entry, ground in by tires and shoes. Spring cleanup after the sweep is when most Bend commercial properties book, and there’s a reason the whole town does it at once.
Freeze-thaw and de-icer residue leave a white mineral haze on concrete entries that doesn’t mop off.
Summer dust and smoke film building exteriors and solar panels through the dry season.
The practical pattern for most Bend commercial properties is a spring wash after the street sweep, and a second one before whichever season is busiest for you.
FAQ
When should we schedule?
Spring, after the City finishes sweeping, is when most Bend properties get the most out of it. Booking before the sweep means re-doing it.
Will it damage siding or paint?
Not with the right method. Anything painted or soft gets soft washing, not high pressure. We assess the surface before choosing.
Can you remove oil stains from concrete?
Fresh oil, mostly. Old stains that have soaked deep into unsealed concrete lighten but rarely disappear. We’ll set that expectation before we start.
Do you really clean solar panels?
Yes. Purified water, no abrasives, no harsh chemistry. Dust buildup measurably cuts output and Central Oregon summers are hard on panels.
How often?
Most commercial properties do once or twice a year. Food service properties with dumpster and grease enclosures usually want the enclosure area more often than the rest of the building.
