Strata Pressure Cleaning – Why Outdoor Cleaning is Important

We’ve written many times before about the value of strata cleaning. We have shared with you the benefits of an all round strata cleaning service. You know the benefits of a well maintained property as a strata manager. If your property is well maintained, clean and sparkling (inside and out), then you will attract more occupants – whether they are residents or tenants. You’ll also likely be able to charge higher rents from premium tenants. This includes the exterior of the property, which is why strata pressure cleaning is important. 

It’s also important to remember that not all strata cleaning companies are the same. There are different cleaning requirements for different areas of your building – from windows, to carpets, to lifts and common areas. You may also need gardening and other outdoor high-pressure cleaning. 

Our strata cleaning services cover most areas of cleaning that you could require. We are an all-rounder that prides ourselves on outstanding customer service and amazing results. 

Today we wanted to talk about strata pressure cleaning and reinforce some of the reasons that high pressure cleaning is important. There is no better way to remove grime, grease, mould, moss and other stains. 

Here are some of the surfaces that may benefit from high-pressure cleaning: 

• Your roof;
• Outdoor paths, flooring and stairwells;
• Driveways and carparks;
• Fences;
• Outdoor toilets (and shower blocks if you have a caravan park for example); and
• Other concrete surfaces.

Strata pressure cleaning can help with: 

• Stain removal
• Mould removal
• Moss removal
• Dirt and cobweb removal
• Chewing Gum removal

I want to expand on a few of these surface cleaning benefits and why you need to include high pressure outdoor cleaning in your strata cleaning plan.

Stop Mould, Mildew and Moss Growth

If you have concrete areas that are dark or shaded areas (driveways, footpaths and carparks for example) it’s possible that mould and moss can grow in these areas if they are not cleaned and maintained regularly.

Not only does this build up of mould and moss become unsightly (with green and black furry patches) it also causes other issues. Damage from moss and mould will cause these shaded areas to deteriorate faster. This means more expense from earlier replacement. Deteriorated areas can also be dangerous. Moss, mould, and mildew and also slippery and are likley to result in injury, which you could be held liable for.

Stop Damage from Weeds

Dirt, dust and other particles gets blown onto or transported around concreted and bricked areas – either via foot traffic, car tires, or wind. If left uncleaned, this can result in weed growth. Like mould and moss, it’s ugly and can be dangerous. Similarly it can also lead to the degradation of your concreted areas – meaning you have to upgrade them or complete costly repairs more often.

It’s Quicker than Manual Cleaning

If you allow us to get out the high-pressure cleaners for outdoor cleaning you get two benefits. Outdoor cleaning with the high pressure cleaner does a better job than manual cleaning. Using the high pressure cleaner is also quicker which means that you’ll save money as our cleaning will take less time. Who wants to pay for a gardener to manually remove moss and weeds by hand?

You Can Seal Your Driveways and Car Parks

After your strata pressure clean, you can add a sealant to your car parks and driveways. Sealants allow for easier ongoing maintenance, and are also an added level of protection for you. 

Increased Reputation and Rental Returns

As they say, first impressions count. Well maintained outdoor areas give your strata building a facelift. They leave visitors with a positive first impression before they have even stepped inside. A strong first impression will increase the price that you can charge for rent. It will also attract a better tenant.
