Same location but less traffic area. Stays clean. But the first area was almost this clean.

@Jordie I watched your interview on WCR Nation. After that I looked up your YouTube channel and started watching your videos. Aside from researching here, your procedures are the ones I followed for getting into fast food flatwork. So I owe you a big thank you!

Looks good. Anyone who can make it look that good should be the most expensive in town. Raise your prices.

Do you increase price per sqft given heavier soiled areas? A bank drive through for example. Like .15 - .20?
Thanks and God bless
If itâs part of a larger project not necessarily but if youâre just doing the bad parts absolutely. Youâre going to use more soap and time. Also, depends on if itâs a one time thing or a regular schedule. It takes at least a couple of times to get most places squared away and then easier to maintain and also takes a few times to figure out the most efficient way time wise - staging, hose layout, drainage and all that stuff.

Thanks a lot, brother!
what type of soap/ chemicals do you use on something like this?
Your not going to like my answer, but it is for your own good (before you lit it up and git it done), read a little more. Everything you want to know about this has been posted on this forum.
Introduce yourself in the newbie section.
Read about degreasers, surfactants, SH, surface cleaners, heat, nozzles, reclamation etc. IF someone tells you use brand x soap and SH, well, it might work. There are variables that you need to consider before you lose money.

When I was doing research online I was reading pressure washing a parking lot was only .02 - .03 cents a sqft and anything with a surface cleaner starts around .10. Youâre charging .10 for just pressure washing the parking lot. Not sure if anyone has any more information. What is the correct price for just pressure washing a parking lot for commercial work. Thanks
This is an old post but do you still have a youtube channel? I clicked your link but it didnt work. Thanks
No, unfortunately, I took it down in 2021.
Hereâs a Culverâs. I would like to know where you guys are at on this for pricing. I do not have a hot water machine. Maybe depending on the bid I could justify purchasing one but I donât do a lot of commercial that requires hot water. Was thinking Gold Assassin or EBC. Thanks in advance!
It would be the drive-thru lanes and sidewalks specifically, and any other spots where grease and such builds up. They are also looking to have the building power washed at least once or twice over the summer.
Iâd be renting a hot water unit TBH. Sure would speed things up instead of futzing around with degreasers.

Yes I actually think that would be the best option!
Heat for sure helpsâŚ.

Do you all have an hourly rate you shoot for on commercial?
On most drive-thrus, once you clean it once, thryâre probably going to only want the portion done where cars consistently sit in line. may only be the last 100â before pickup window. The cars sit there and drip oil, there will also be a lot of gum, where people throw out their gum as theyâre getting ready to pick up food. To do it efficiently and quickly, really need hot water. Typically, Iâll walk thru with a pump up and hit the really bad spots with pretty strong mix, say 20-40% degreaser, let sit while youâre getting setup, then downstream with warm water your degreaser, including over spots youâve already hit, then start cleaning, typically around 140-150 degrees, unless really, really bad. 150+ will give you quickest results on gum
