Did you hesitate in going into either of those businesses, because you wondered how clean it was going to be inside? This is an assumption that is actually made by a large number of consumers.
Think about it. You walk into a dirty store to buy something; you are expecting a dirty product. Customers are repelled by a dirty, cluttered, outdated-looking store.

Many of those customers will go to a similar competitor that has maintained their store’s cleanliness and appearance, inside and out.

Most professional pressure washing companies like Exterior Cleaning Unlimited can actually get the monumental job of cleaning your parking area done while still allowing some spaces to be utilized during the work day to avoid work-traffic slow down.
What if you are leasing your commercial store/office and you see that the property management is not really doing this? If this is the case, you will want to approach your Property Manager with a request to have the property parking and building cleaned. You can even offer an introduction to a pressure washing company, like Exterior Cleaning Unlimited. You will want to find a professional company that can offer not only pressure washing, but a soft washing option also. Soft washing the building and roof may be all that is needed. A cleaning maintenance for the parking lot is a more economical option and will likely be a winning solution for the property management company.
