Car Park Cleaning in Adelaide

Car parks can be dirty very quickly, with vehicles parked and pulling in and out all day long. Regular car park cleaning in Adelaide helps to keep your space clean and low-maintenance, whether the parking lot is at a shopping center, office or commercial property, or at your own block of apartments.

Many customers will arrive at your business after a long drive only to find a dirty car park. They will find rubbish strewn across the bays, grimy oil marks on the concrete and dirt down the pathways. While this may be a small detail, it can be the first thing they see when visiting your property and can give the wrong first impression.

At Perfect Services, we provide a professional car park cleaning that helps your parking area look cleaner and more inviting. We have provided home and business cleaning in Adelaide for more than 7 years and our team is fully insured.

Why car park cleaning matters

A parking lot can get dirty far quicker than most business owners expect. Vehicles track in dirt, mud, water and oil. Rubbish also gathers in bays and corners. And, if a car park isn’t cleaned frequently, the spots and stains left behind can become more stubborn to clean.

Oil marks, tyre tracks, and accumulated dirt

A car park in a busy commercial property will often suffer from a variety of problems, many of which are easy to spot at a glance. Things such as oil leaks, tyre marks, dust and other dirt build up over time on surfaces.

A quick sweep will remove surface dust, but it won’t get rid of deeply accumulated dirt marks. Removing these marks usually takes pressure washing, scrubbing and a suitable degreaser, depending on the surface.

Risk of slipping and safety

A dirty car park can also create a safety risk, when oil, grease, moss or wet leaves build up on the ground. It can be particularly dangerous to ramps and footpaths that aren’t swept regularly, especially if it rains or cars track in moisture. Rubbish and broken glass or debris scattered between the cars can also cause problems.

Safe Work SA list slips, trips and falls as the second leading cause of workplace injury, after hazardous manual tasks, so for a business this is a work health and safety issue as well as a cleaning one.

Frequent cleaning can minimize the hazards by scrubbing away potential slippery buildup and keeping walkways, ramps and access points clear and in better condition.

Initial impressions by customers and staff

The car park is often the first thing people see of a property, so its state of repair can shape their impression of the place even before they get to see the whole property.

For example, staff want a relatively clean place to park their car in the morning and renters want their property’s communal areas to be kept clean. A well-maintained car park is a reflection on the whole property exterior. This will include your office buildings, apartment blocks, commercial spaces etc.

Our car park cleaning services in Adelaide

We provide car park cleaning services throughout Adelaide and can handle various areas and surfaces such as open-space car parks and underground basement car parks. We use commercial-grade equipment, including ride-on sweepers, floor scrubbers and hot-water pressure cleaners, to remove dirt, oil and grime from car parks of every size.

Pressure cleaning for car park surfaces

Pressure Cleaning removes grease, dust, tyre marks and ingrained dirt from car park surfaces.

Floor cleaning systems for underground and garden parking

Indoor and basement car parks require more specialized floor cleaning as they don’t benefit from the natural rain washing of an open outdoor space. Dust from vehicles, tyre marks, oil stains and general dirt can easily accumulate on the floors. Corners, parking bays, ramps and the space around pillars can be hard to maintain.

Removing the top layers and sealing to safeguard the surface

Stripping and sealing is a process of preparation, cleaning and protecting car park floor surfaces that can restore the appearance of a surface that has been dulled, damaged or worn out by an existing sealer or coating. Stripping and sealing usually consists of: stripping off the old coating, cleaning the surface and applying a new coating or sealant.

Window cleaning for glass entrances and stairwells

Glass doors, lift lobby panels and stairwell glass are often out of mind in the car park maintenance cycle, yet they attract dust and smudges. This is especially obvious around glass entry doors and lift lobbies, where people walk through them multiple times.

Window cleaning keeps glass doors and entry points clear and presentable.

How regularly should a car park be cleaned?

The frequency of car park cleaning will depend on the size, usage, and type of property you have. A small office car park may only require some occasional cleaning, but a shopping Centre or apartments that have regular day-to-day use will generally require more frequent cleaning.

Ongoing regular cleaning

Ongoing regular cleaning can help to ensure your car park remains in a fairly clean condition. Depending on the size and usage of your commercial property, you may wish to have your car park cleaned weekly or every 2 weeks. Smaller or less frequently used car parks may only require cleaning once a month.

Occasional / Deep cleaning

An occasional or deep clean can be beneficial if your car park has not been properly maintained for a while or you simply want to give your property some extra attention ahead of an inspection, opening or large event. This can include pressure washing, removing tough oil stains, scrubbing very dirty flooring and cleaning areas that have been neglected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How much do car park cleaning services in Adelaide typically cost?

Car park cleaning in Adelaide is on average $80-$120 per hour for general commercial cleaning and pressure cleaning jobs. Cost depends on the size of the car park, the cleaning requirement, extent of oil staining and the equipment required. Larger or multi-leveled car parks are often quoted as a block price rather than hourly.

Q2. How frequently should a parking lot be cleaned?

It really comes down to how much use the site gets. A shopping centre or commercial property would probably require cleaning weekly or fortnightly whereas a residential or smaller office car park would be better to have a full clean once a month or so.

Q3. Can you wash a car park without closing it?

Yes, car park cleaning is frequently carried out during opening hours. For example, a few bays or a small area could be cleaned without disrupting the use of most of the car park. We can schedule larger jobs before or after business hours or on weekends.

Q4. Do you clean indoor and basement car parks as well as outdoor ones?

Yes, we clean indoor and basement car parks as well as outdoor ones. Outdoor parking areas are usually filled with leaves, mud and weather related debris while basement car parking areas can be filled with dust, grease and tire tracks.

Q5. What is the best way to clean old oil off concrete?

Professional cleaning services can remove or reduce oil stains from concrete. Old oil that is left and allowed to penetrate can be more difficult to work with than a new drip. With the right degreasers and pressure cleaning or scrubbing, depending on the level of penetration, you can break down the deposits and make it look better.
