First impressions count. That’s why keeping the exterior of your facility looking good is important; to create an excellent first impression and show customers that you care. Regularly using commercial power washing and window cleaning services will make sure your building’s exterior walls and windows always look their best. Beyond appearances there are other reasons to use a pressure washing company for your commercial building. Exterior grime and dirt can hide areas that need repair or attention; spotting these areas early can be cost-saving. And without sufficient cleaning outside walkways can get a slippery build-up of algae, potentially causing slip-and-falls–something everyone wants to avoid.
PRIDE Industries has broad experience in exterior cleaning, including historical buildings that need extra care, and expertise in the removal of graffiti or other stains such as rust or smoke. With both hot and cold pressure washers, units that can reclaim dirty water for compliant disposal, and our PRIDEClean® glass and window cleaner (produced according to the EPA’s Safer Choice standards) we can deliver a high-quality clean that will definitely impress.

Cleaning products used by professionals for commercial window cleaning are much the same as glass cleaning products for the home. However, since commercial window cleaning involves larger windows, and taller buildings, tools and techniques will be different. For exterior window cleaning, commercial window cleaning companies will employ technicians to use pressure washers and will have the necessary tools and attachments needed for second storey windows.
In addition to the high pressure water used in commercial pressuring washing, additives such as oxalic acid (natural occuring and biodegradable) to remove rust or citric acid as a degreaser can be added. If you are unsure about what is being used to pressure wash your building talk with your commercial pressure washing service to learn exactly what is being used.
The exact cost of pressure washing for your commercial building will vary depending on the size of your building. Most companies will charge based on square feet to be cleaned, but some companies charge by the hour. Often the most cost-effective way to keep your building clean is with a contract for regular pressure washing and exterior window cleaning.
Technically it is possible to estimate the cost of having a commercial building pressure washed if you know the cost per square foot. Even then there is a caveat that per square foot can vary depending on how much dirt removal is required–a building that has not been washed in ten years will require more work than walkways that have been regularly cleaned in the past. Additionally, for many businesses the most cost-effective way to keep facility exteriors clean is to contract a professional pressure washing company to clean exteriors regularly and prevent an excessive build-up of dirt.
Pressure washers used commercially are larger, come with more pressure power (up to 8000 psi) and are more durable. And they need to be all of these things since they are designed to be worked more, have to cover a greater surface (think multi-storey buildings) and likely need to remove more dirt (rust, grease and even graffi) than a pressure washer sold for home use.
