Power Washing in Lower East Side, Manhattan

The Lower East Side has very few driveways, but it has plenty that needs washing. Busy shopping and nightlife blocks leave sidewalks, steps and storefront gates covered in grime, gum and spills.

We power wash storefronts, sidewalks in front of shops and buildings, entry steps, back courtyards and small rooftop decks. Before we start, we look at each surface and set the pressure for it. Old brick and painted surfaces need a gentler touch than concrete.

Most customers here are shop owners, restaurant owners and building owners or managers.

A clean storefront tells people your shop is open and cared for. On Orchard, Ludlow or Essex Street, a quick wash of the sidewalk, the entrance and the metal gate can make a big difference before a weekend.

Restaurants and bars deal with grease and spilled drinks near the door and by the trash area. We wash those spots so they look and smell better.

Many tenement buildings have brick steps, a stoop or a small back courtyard. Old brick and mortar can be damaged by too much pressure, so we keep it low and work slowly.

Building owners sometimes ask us to wash a rooftop deck or a shared courtyard before warm weather. We check access and drainage first so the water goes where it should.

We plan around foot traffic and store hours, and we can often start early before the block gets busy.

Spring and fall are popular times for a full wash. After winter, salt and sand leave a gray film on steps and entrances. In the fall, a wash before the holiday shopping season helps shop fronts look their best when foot traffic picks up.

Building owners also book carpet cleaning on the Lower East Side for hallways and apartments between tenants, and shops add upholstery cleaning for seating. See the Lower East Side page for more, or our power washing in NoHo. Call 1-800-589-4364.
