What to look for in a commercial exterior cleaning service: Tips to get your money's-worth

Author name

As a business owner, you put in a lot of time and effort to make sure your commercial property is looking its best. However, no matter how clean you keep it on the inside, if the outside looks dirty and unkempt, people will assume that it's not taken care of or well-managed. The truth is: first impressions count. When customers come into your restaurant, cafe, or other business location they're forming an opinion about your establishment based solely on what they see from the exterior - before even stepping inside. They then decide whether or not to engage with your business' services based upon this first impression.


In this article, we will address the key points as to why keeping the external environment of your commercial establishment is important - but also what to look for in a commercial, exterior cleaning provider so that you can make an informed choice.

What is commercial exterior cleaning and why do I need it?

The exterior walls of your business residence are in need of some TLC if it has been some time since their last clean. Not only do they get dirty and dingy over time, but extreme weather conditions can also take their toll on the surface through factors like paint that fades quickly before it has a chance to stick around long enough; water seeping into cracks where mould starts growing due make them look even less appealing than before!


Worn-out building exteriors are not only unsightly but can weaken the structural integrity of your property. Specialised cleaning techniques, including high-pressure washing and soft washing, are available to restore walls back to their original glory so you don't have any more worries about what's going on with it!

How to find a good company for commercial exterior cleaning

When deciding which company you engage for your industrial, external cleans, it is important to consider a number of factors. You want to be able to trust your commercial exterior cleaning company and know that they'll do a good job. With so many companies out there, finding the right one can seem overwhelming at times; but it doesn't have to be!


The first thing you should look for in an expert provider is customer service skills. Are they friendly on the phone, were they accommodating to any special requests? Did they turn up for their quote at the specified time? A lazy/disorganised contractor is the last person you want to be working with when you have a business to run. It's likely that you'll be organising a maintenance plan such as regular window cleaning for example. You're going to be depending on that person to show up as scheduled so that your business always keeps its professional appearance to the public via its cleanliness.


When you're looking for a commercial exterior cleaning company, don't be afraid to ask around and get recommendations from people who have used them before. A good contractor will always provide references/testimonials on request; if they refuse to do so when asked, it's probably best that you keep moving on.

Once you have found a handful of reputable companies, it's time to compare quotes. Most businesses will provide their service at the same price so if they are unwilling to work with your budget or offer something that is more cost-effective then this might also be an indicator of poor customer service skills; ie perhaps they don't want your business because they are after bigger money clients.


Are they insured? Get Wet Cleaning Services is covered for 20 Million in Liability Insurance should the worst happen! We also police check our staff so that you can always trust that we have reputable and reliable workers on your property.


What kind of service do they offer? If you want your windows cleaned, make sure that their company offers commercial window cleaning so there are no misunderstandings and disappointment.

Do they have the right equipment? If your company needs a high-pressure wash, make sure that they have the proper equipment to perform this. You don't want the incorrect use of equipment or the use of dodgy equipment to cause damages or leave even more mess on your property.


What is the turnaround time? If your company needs regular cleaning, make sure that they can fit in with your required schedule!


Do they offer other services? This is important because it might save you time and money if their company performs multiple types of service instead of having to hire several companies for different things; we provide window cleaning up to 3 stories by water fed pole, even higher with the hire of a boom/scissor lift, external house/building cleans, roof cleaning, solar panel cleaning, pressure cleaning and concrete sealing.



There are many things to consider when choosing a contractor for commercial exterior cleaning but once you have found one who ticks all of these boxes and more, then it's likely going to be an easy working relationship where both parties are working towards a long term business relationship.

Why should I hire a professional to clean my business's outside walls, windows, sidewalks, and car park?

Let's start with the fact that although a pressure cleaner can do a lot of good cleaning when in the wrong hands, it can also do a lot of terrible damage. You need to be assured you are working with someone who understands the surfaces they are working with so as not to cause unnecessary damage rather than a spotless clean!



Do they use window cleaning equipment recommended by professionals? You want your windows left streak-free! We use a combination of the best equipment and techniques to leave your windows looking clear as crystal.

We use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning solutions that are safe for the environment and your staff!


Commercial exterior cleaning is all about professionalism. This means having a company that can show up on time to get the job done right; if they keep postponing or cancelling appointments this may be an indicator of more serious issues within their business structure.
