For customers, the appearance of a gas station may be the deciding factor when choosing where to stop. Maintaining the appearance of your gas station can be difficult since there is probably not another type of business where customers directly interact with the businesses exterior to such an extreme degree as a gas station. Cars are driving in and out all day, trailing in the dirt and sometimes leaving oil, grease or other fluids behind. As customers stand at the pump windows are washed, trash is thrown out (sometimes it’s simply dumped out) and a little gas might be spilled. In the face of such a relentless assault, how do you maintain a clean and inviting gas station?

The Right Tool For The Job

The pump island is where most of the action happens at a gas station. It is also where most of the dirt and grime are found. Everything from spilled fuel, car oil, transmission fluid, and even this morning’s coffee can be found on the concrete there. Due to the composition of these stains, it’s important to remove them for safety reasons. However, after being baked in the sun all day it’s obvious that a bottle of window cleaner and some paper towels aren’t going to do the trick! Tough stains need tough cleaning. Pressure washing can include a variety of techniques such as steam cleaning and scrubbing as well as traditional pressurized cleaning all aimed at removing these stains and leaving a clean and inviting island!
