Commercial Pressure Washing: Summer Is The Season

Regardless of where you live, summer is the season in which people spend the most time outside, whether leisurely, actively, or otherwise. This is especially true in areas where people truly experience all four seasons. Even in warmer climates, where the winters aren’t cold enough to keep people indoors for most of the day, summers are spent outdoors.

It’s a cultural thing, but one very much based on climates. What this means for your business is both the opportunity for and importance of garnishing your facility. Commercial pressure washing is an underappreciated part of this concept. People will walk in, around, and by your place of business and see, feel, or even smell the conditions surrounding your workplace, and this reflects on the condition of your business and brand. So, here’s why summer is the season for commercial pressure washing:

Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is an important buzzword in the commercial property space. However many businesses, retail spaces, or service-based entities inhabit a commercial property, they’re all under the same roof and therefore subjected to the same effects of curb appeal (or lack thereof). People are drawn to new-looking, clean buildings. That’s why they call it “curb appeal”, right? Commercial pressure washing is one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve your commercial property’s curb appeal, and summer is the season when the most people look up from the curb!

Encouraging Foot Traffic

If you operate a business that relies on foot traffic even a little bit, then it’s important to maintain your property in a way that both enables and encourages foot traffic. This is also why summer is the season for commercial pressure washing! There is a case for saying that commercial pressure washing is important at anytime during the year, but especially in the summer, when people spend the most time outdoors, a pressure washed commercial property will in some cases first allow foot traffic but also universally encourage it.

Prolonging Your Commercial Property’s Life

The wear and tear of weather and other daily life happenings can (and will) damage and degrade your commercial property over time. Worse, a build-up of contaminants can hide concerning or even dangerous issues that need to be addressed. Commercial pressure washing is a great way to prolong the life of your commercial property, and help reveal any potential issues before it’s too late.

Safety & Hygiene Benefits

Whether or not people who pass by or around your commercial property engage it in any way, they will appreciate your effort to maintain a safe and hygienic environment. Throughout the year in any climate, garbage, debris, mold, precipitation, oil, acidic substances and many other contaminants build up around your commercial property. Together, over time, this can create safety hazards and unhygienic conditions. Not only is this a liability issue, but something that can drive business away while affecting the performance of your employees as well. Commercial pressure washing is an effective solution.
