The outside of your commercial building can get very dirty. Pollution, wind blown debris and rain can make a soupy mess of the front, sides and windows in that structure. The sidewalks can become messy and people will always like to touch the front glass so there is also the greasy finger prints that mess up the appearances of it. The best process for cleaning all of this up is pressure washing, often called power washing.

You can offer some incentive to some of your employees to conduct this cleaning with buckets, brushes and or rags, however, that is not a good use of your resources. They will not be ale to climb as high as necessary and they will, in the best of efforts, only give mixed results. Professionals, doing this all of the time can do this quickly and efficiently.

The main areas that are cleaned in this way are the front, back and sides of the building as well as the entry ways. Customers, moving in and out and employees must be considered before attempting this. A firm, such as a custodial company, can plan for this and will work at night for these areas.

Companies in Plymouth, MN can call these companies to handle this task. Many companies specialize in this work and others, such as janitorial companies, have departments devoted to this type of cleaning. They will usually have this equipment mounted on a truck or, depending on the size of project, portable units for this work.

The power washing machine is an interesting one. It generates various pressures, depending on what has been designed into the machine. The ratings have to do with the amount of pressure generated within it. Commercial machines have between 250 PSI and 6500 PSI ratings. PSI stands for pounds per square inch at the nozzle.

This type of machine is very environmentally friendly as there is no use for chemicals in most applications. There are several chemicals that are used in a very small amount of projects, such as for grease or when a sanitizer is appropriate. The mechanical force of the water is usually quite enough to move any contamination and the vast majority of even the most sticky of material.

Some of the outside areas, needing this cleaning, are parking lots, sidewalks, statuary, benches and retaining walls. No painter will ever paint a house without performing this cleaning. This has been used to clean out the backs of trucks, heavy equipment and used to clear pipes in municipal waste water hubs.

Making your commercial property look better is an easy matter when you have called these professionals. They can even be called on to clean inside food processing plants and chemical mixing areas. The need for a complete clean, from top to bottom, of many pieces of machinery or during switch overs on processing lines makes this an efficient and time saving way to clean and set up for the next run.
