Power washing for East Village bars, restaurants and shops, tenement stoops, sidewalks and back yards, done early before the street wakes up.
East Village nightlife leaves its mark on the pavement. By Sunday morning, the concrete outside the bars and restaurants on Avenue A and St. Marks Place is covered with dried beer, food, chewing gum and worse.
Business owners and landlords hire us to wash it away. Every surface gets its own pressure setting, and on soft old brick, painted gates and wood we drop the pressure or switch to a soft-wash solution that does the work without force.
For bars and restaurants, we arrive at dawn, long before the first brunch crowd, so the concrete is clean and dry by opening. A regular schedule, weekly or monthly, stops sticky patches from building into permanent stains.
Tenement stoops, railings and the sunken areaways by the basement doors catch trash, leaves and grime. Washing them makes a building look looked-after, and tenants notice.
Many buildings and restaurants hide a back yard or garden behind the street wall, with pavers, wood decking or a fence. Tall neighbors keep them shady and damp, so moss and algae spread quickly. We work carefully around planters, string lights and drains.
A lot of East Village brick is well over a century old, and the mortar between it is soft. High pressure can blow it out, so on those walls we use low pressure and a cleaning solution instead.
Roll-down gates and painted shop fronts are washed gently, enough to lift grime and street film without peeling paint.
The spot where a building keeps its trash cans can smell terrible by August. Washing the pavement and the wall behind the cans cuts down on the odor and the flies.
Gum is the most stubborn problem on the sidewalk. We pre-treat it and use hot water to loosen it, and the oldest pieces may need a second pass.
