PARKING GARAGE CLEANING
Parking Garage Cleaning in Chicago
Based in Lincoln Park, Chicago
Pressure washing for parking decks, ramps, stairwells and surface lots in Chicago, planned level by level so the garage stays open.
Garage and Parking Deck Cleaning for Chicago Properties
Parking garage cleaning removes the road salt, oil drips, tire marks and dirt that build up on concrete decks over a Chicago winter. We clean garages for office and apartment buildings, condo associations, hotels, hospitals, retail centers and public parking operators.
A clean garage is safer to walk through, easier to inspect and looks cared for to every tenant and visitor who parks there.
Parking Garage Pressure Washing for Salt, Oil and Grime
Each part of a garage gets dirty in its own way, so each gets its own wash.
Parking Decks and Ramps
Full deck washing with surface cleaners and flat-surface rinsing, with pre-treatment on oil drips and tire marks at turns and ramps.
Stairwells and Elevator Lobbies
Stair treads, landings and lobby floors are cleaned by hand-held wand at lower pressure, where people walk most.
Entrances, Exits and Pay Areas
Gate areas, pay stations and the entry apron collect the heaviest salt and grime and get extra attention.
Surface Parking Lots
Open lots, drive lanes and parking stalls are cleaned for oil spots, gum and dirt around curbs and islands.
Parking Lot Pressure Washing in Chicago
Parking lots collect oil stains, tire marks, gum and winter road salt. We pressure wash parking lots for retail centers, office buildings and apartment properties, working early in the morning or after close so customers and tenants can still park.
For the entrances and sidewalks around your lot, see our storefront and sidewalk cleaning service.

Our Parking Garage Cleaning Process
11. Plan with the operator
We agree on which levels close and when, so parkers always have somewhere to go.
22. Clear and pre-treat
Debris is blown or swept off the level, and oil and tire marks get a degreaser.
33. Wash level by level
Surface cleaners and wands clean each level, working toward the drains.
44. Reopen and walk through
Each level reopens once it is rinsed, and we walk the garage with you at the end.
Why Road Salt Matters in Chicago Garages
Cars carry road salt into the garage all winter. The salt stays on the deck, and chloride from salt is one of the main causes of concrete and rebar deterioration in parking structures.
A yearly wash in spring, and a second one in fall for busy garages, removes the salt that builds up on the deck, along with the oil and dirt that make floors slippery.

How Much Does Parking Garage Cleaning Cost in Chicago?
Garage cleaning is priced by the square footage of the decks, the number of levels, how much oil and salt there is, access and whether the work is overnight.

All neighborhoodsParking Garage Cleaning FAQ
How often should a parking garage be cleaned in Chicago?
At least once a year, in spring, to remove winter road salt. Busy Chicago garages for offices, hotels and hospitals often add a fall cleaning before the next salt season.
Do you have to close the whole garage?
No. We work level by level or section by section, so the garage stays open while each part is cleaned.
Can you remove oil stains from the garage floor?
Fresh drips and most oil spots come up with a degreaser and pressure washing. Old, deep stains in porous concrete usually lighten a lot but can leave a shadow.
Can you clean the garage overnight?
Yes. Mention after hours in the Message field, and we plan the work for the hours your Chicago garage is least used.
Where does the water go?
We rinse toward the garage floor drains and clear debris first so drains do not clog.
How much does parking garage cleaning cost?
It depends on the square footage, the number of levels, staining and timing. We quote after a site walk. National market ranges are in the cost section of this page.
Do you clean parking lots as well as garages?
Yes. We pressure wash parking lots and parking garages for commercial properties in Chicago.
