Start with the substrate

Brick, masonry, EIFS, stucco, metal panels, glass, coatings, sealants, and concrete react differently to pressure, chemistry, dwell time, and rinse volume. A test area helps reveal the actual risk.

Match chemistry to the condition

Organic growth, traffic film, mineral deposits, oxidation, construction residue, and graffiti are different problems. The proposal should explain what the selected method can address and what needs specialty or contact restoration.

Protect the site while cleaning

A commercial wash plan should show how the crew will manage windows, landscaping, vehicles, pedestrians, doors, drains, neighboring tenants, and any work that must stop when wind or weather changes.

Apply the Guidance

Turn the question into a site plan.

Surface, access, traffic, weather, water, drainage, and the required finish determine the right next step for the building.
