Commercial Pressure Cleaning FAQs

Commercial pressure cleaning is a professional service that uses specialised high-pressure equipment to remove dirt, oil, mould, and grime from business premises. Unlike small DIY machines, commercial systems are powerful enough to handle large areas and tough contaminants, while being adjustable to suit delicate surfaces when needed.

Almost every industry benefits from pressure cleaning. Offices and retail centres use it to maintain a professional image, strata properties rely on it for common areas, and factories or warehouses need it for safety and compliance. If your business has external walls, driveways, car parks, or high-traffic areas, pressure cleaning helps keep them safe, clean, and presentable.

It depends on the type of property and how it’s used. A retail centre with heavy foot traffic may need quarterly cleaning to keep walkways safe and attractive, while an office building might only need an annual wash to maintain its appearance. The key is regular maintenance — leaving surfaces too long allows mould, oil, and stains to settle in, making them harder and more expensive to remove later. Investing in routine cleaning not only extends the life of your property surfaces but also protects your business image and reduces liability risks.

Most external surfaces around a business can be pressure cleaned, including concrete, brick, stone, glass, steel, and even painted surfaces. With the right equipment and techniques, everything from car parks and driveways to external walls, pathways, and signage can be restored to a professional finish. For delicate materials, soft washing can be used instead of high pressure to avoid damage.

Yes — when it’s carried out by professionals. A common concern is that high pressure might damage paint, concrete, or seals, but the right operator knows how to adjust equipment to match each surface. At Glason, we use a mix of controlled pressure and specialised treatments, including soft washing and biocide applications where needed. This ensures a deep clean without compromising the integrity of your building, unlike DIY attempts that can cause lasting damage.

Absolutely. We understand that businesses can’t afford disruption during operating hours. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, so your cleaning is completed with minimal impact on staff, clients, or customers.

The cost depends on factors like the size of the property, the type of surfaces, the level of dirt or staining, and how often cleaning is required. For example, a small shopfront will take less time and equipment than a large factory or multi-level building. What’s important is that professional cleaning saves money in the long run by preventing damage and extending the life of your property’s surfaces. The best way to know is to request a tailored quote — we provide transparent pricing so you know exactly what’s included.

Yes. Commercial pressure cleaning equipment is designed to handle the toughest contaminants. Oil stains on driveways and car parks, graffiti on walls, and mould on shaded walkways can all be treated effectively. In some cases, we use additional treatments like biocide solutions to not only remove mould but also prevent it from quickly returning. This ensures your surfaces stay clean for longer, protecting your property’s appearance and safety.

Many businesses choose to set up a regular cleaning schedule — quarterly, half-yearly, or annually — to keep their premises consistently presentable and compliant. Maintenance contracts are cost-effective because they prevent build-up of dirt and damage, and they provide peace of mind knowing cleaning is taken care of without the need to book each time. This is particularly useful for strata managers, retail centres, and industrial facilities.
