Cleaning a commercial parking garage is essential for maintaining a safe and inviting environment for employees and customers. A clean garage not only enhances aesthetics but also prevents accidents and damage to vehicles. At B&F we utilize pressure washing as our primary cleaning method, ensuring thorough and efficient results. Here’s a breakdown of our process, along with our commitment to safety.
Why Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing is the most effective method for cleaning parking garages due to its ability to remove tough stains, grease, grime, and other debris. Our commercial-grade machines can deliver up to 6000 psi, ensuring powerful cleaning without damaging surfaces. This method reaches deep into cracks and crevices, effectively restoring the appearance and safety of your parking facility.
Our Cleaning Process
Initial Assessment
Before starting the cleaning process, our team conducts a thorough assessment of the parking garage. This includes evaluating:
- The size of the area to be cleaned.
- The types of stains present (oil, grease, debris).
- Any specific concerns from the client regarding high-traffic areas or special instructions.
Preparation
Preparation is a critical step to ensure an efficient and safe cleaning process. During this phase, we take the following actions:
Clearing the Area: Our team removes any loose debris, such as trash and leaves, to ensure a clean workspace.
Warning to Remove Vehicles: We communicate with the client in advance to ensure that all vehicles are removed from the garage. This is essential for safe and effective cleaning. Clear signage is posted at entrances and throughout the garage, notifying all users that the area will be under maintenance and that cars must be removed.
Setting Up Safety Measures: We place warning signs and barriers to protect pedestrians and vehicles, ensuring a safe environment during the cleaning process. This includes cordoning off areas that will be cleaned and directing foot traffic away from operational zones.
Pressure Washing
Using our advanced commercial-grade pressure washers, we commence the cleaning process:
- High-Pressure Cleaning: Our machines operate at up to 6000 psi, delivering powerful jets of water to dislodge and remove stubborn stains, dirt, and grease.
- Detergent Application: For tougher stains, we apply eco-friendly cleaning solutions that enhance the effectiveness of the pressure washing. This helps break down grease and grime while being safe for the environment.
Rinsing and Finishing Touches
After thoroughly pressure washing the surfaces, we rinse the area to ensure no detergent residue remains. We pay special attention to:
- Drains and Grates: Ensuring that water flows freely and does not pool, which can lead to safety hazards.
- Final Inspection: Our team conducts a final walkthrough to ensure all areas are clean and safe. We make sure no debris is left behind, leaving the garage in pristine condition.

At B&F, safety is our utmost priority. Here’s how we ensure a safe cleaning process:
