Cleanin provides commercial pressure cleaning across Sydney for car parks, driveways, building exteriors, footpaths, and other hard surfaces. Our trained, insured teams remove oil, grime, mould, and stains using surface-appropriate methods and commercial-grade equipment, while managing wastewater runoff to keep your site clean, safe, and compliant.
Commercial pressure cleaning uses pressurised water, and where needed, heat and surface-safe detergents, to remove contaminants that ordinary cleaning cannot remove: oil and tyre marks in car parks, mould and algae on facades, grease around bin areas, and ingrained grime on concrete and pavers. It is the difference between a surface that looks clean and one that is actually clean.
The technical skill is matching the pressure and cleaning method to the surface. Hard concrete and brick can handle high pressure. Render, painted surfaces, timber, and some cladding cannot and need low-pressure soft washing that cleans with chemistry rather than force. Oil and grease need hot water to break down, while general grime can be removed with cold water. Get this wrong and you either leave the surface dirty or etch and damage it. Cleanin’s technicians assess the surface material first, then select the pressure, temperature, and method needed to clean it safely.
Commercial pressure cleaning also carries a compliance responsibility that many cleaners overlook. Washwater can carry oil, detergents, and other contaminants, and allowing it to enter stormwater drains can breach EPA and council trade-waste requirements. Cleanin contains and disposes of wastewater properly, so cleaning your site does not create an environmental problem for your business.
Every programme is delivered by trained, insured technicians using commercial-grade equipment, scheduled around your operations, and planned to remove slip hazards and built-up contamination that can make a commercial property look and feel neglected.
Commercial pressure cleaning covers the exterior hard surfaces of a business property, each cleaned with the pressure, water temperature, and method its material and contamination require. The list below covers the surfaces and areas Cleanin cleans, and what it takes to clean each one properly.
 The outside of a business shapes how customers judge it before they walk in. Cleanin cleans awnings, signage, entry glass surrounds, and shopfront exteriors with the appropriate pressure for each material, keeping the storefront presentation sharp.
 Facades collect mould, algae, and grime, but render, painted surfaces, and cladding cannot take high pressure without damage. Cleanin uses low-pressure soft washing on these surfaces, cleaning with surface-safe chemistry rather than force, so the wall is cleaned without etching or stripping the finish.
Vehicle areas accumulate oil, grease, and tyre marks that ordinary cleaning cannot lift. Cleanin uses hot-water pressure cleaning and degreasers on commercial car parks, driveways, forecourts, and loading dock aprons, because oil and grease only break down with heat, not pressure alone. This removes stains and the slip hazards they create.
 Hard surfaces like concrete, brickwork, and pavers hold dirt deep in their texture. These materials can take high pressure, so Cleanin uses rotary surface cleaners and higher pressure to lift ingrained grime, moss, and stains evenly, without the streaking that a handheld wand leaves.
Cleanin removes graffiti, chewing gum, efflorescence, and stubborn stains using targeted treatments and, where needed, specialised products. (Include this card only if you genuinely offer graffiti removal, since it can require specific chemicals and methods.)
Pedestrian areas build up grime, gum, and slip-causing algae. Cleanin cleans footpaths, entrances, and walkways to remove these contaminants, reducing slip risk in the areas customers and staff use most, and improving the first impression of the property.
Compliance standards
Pressure cleaning carries compliance responsibilities that ordinary cleaning does not because it produces contaminated runoff, uses high-pressure equipment, and takes place around the public. The biggest of these is managing where the wastewater goes. Cleanin manages each of these properly, so cleaning your site protects your business rather than exposing it to fines or property damage.
Wastewater from pressure cleaning carries oil, detergents, and sediment, and discharging it into stormwater drains breaches the NSW Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 and council trade-waste rules. Cleanin contains and captures runoff and disposes of it correctly, so cleaning your site never becomes an environmental breach you are liable for. This is the single most overlooked compliance issue in pressure cleaning.
Containing runoff on a live commercial site requires the right method. Cleanin uses drain covers, booms, berms, and vacuum recovery to stop contaminated water from entering stormwater systems and diverts it to the sewer where authorised. The capture method is planned as part of the job, not left to chance.
Pressure cleaning in commercial areas creates wet surfaces, spray, and dislodged debris around people. Cleanin manages exclusion zones, wet-floor signage, and timing so pedestrians, customers, and staff stay safe while work is underway, and slip hazards are controlled during and after cleaning.
High-pressure water is itself a hazard, and cleaning facades and awnings can involve working at heights. Cleanin works under a site-specific SWMS aligned with the WHS Act 2011 (NSW), with trained technicians, correct equipment, and safe work procedures for both the pressure equipment and any elevated work.
The wrong pressure or product damages surfaces or drives water into building cavities. Cleanin matches pressure and detergent to each surface, handles chemicals under documented procedures with SDS maintained on-site, and selects products that clean effectively without harming the surface or the environment they run off into.
Poorly done pressure cleaning can damage surfaces, breach runoff rules, or simply leave dirt behind. Businesses choose Cleanin because the work is matched to the surface, managed in line with environmental requirements, and delivered without disrupting the site. Here is what that means.
Cleanin follows a structured five-stage process built around the key decisions that make pressure cleaning safe and effective: which surface, which method, and how to contain the runoff. Every stage is planned around your property’s materials, access, and operations.
A Cleanin supervisor inspects the site to identify the surfaces to be cleaned and their materials, the type and level of contamination, the drainage and stormwater layout, water supply, and access. Identifying the surface materials and where the runoff will go determines the safe cleaning method and containment plan, so this assessment shapes everything that follows.
Cleanin sets the cleaning method for each surface, including the pressure level, water temperature, and any detergents, and plans how runoff will be contained and disposed of. Hard surfaces are matched with high pressure and rotary cleaners, delicate surfaces with soft washing, and oil and grease with hot water, while drain covers or vacuum recovery are planned wherever contaminated water could reach stormwater.
Before work starts, Cleanin coordinates timing around your trading, pedestrian, and vehicle movements and sets up safety controls, including exclusion zones, wet-surface signage, and access management. This keeps the public and your staff safe while allowing your site to keep running during the work.
Technicians carry out the cleaning using the planned method and surface-appropriate pressure while containing runoff as planned. Whether cleaning car parks, facades, footpaths, or loading docks, each surface is cleaned to remove contaminants without damaging the material, and captured wastewater is disposed of correctly.
Cleanin inspects the finished work against the required standard and addresses any areas that need attention. For properties on a maintenance programme, cleaning frequency is set to match how quickly each area becomes soiled, so car parks, entrances, and high-traffic surfaces stay presentable and safe over time.

Call Cleanin on 1300 50 55 50 or complete the online quote form. Tell us your site address, the surfaces and areas that need cleaning (car park, facade, footpaths, and so on), the approximate area, and the type of contamination, such as oil, mould, or general grime. This gives us enough information to plan the right inspection.
A Cleanin supervisor inspects your property to assess the surface materials, the type and level of contamination, the drainage and stormwater layout, water supply, and access. Seeing the site helps us determine the correct cleaning method, the runoff containment plan, and an accurate price rather than quoting without seeing the property.
Cleanin provides a proposal built around your site, covering the surfaces to be cleaned, the method and pressure for each, how runoff will be managed, the frequency if the service is ongoing, and the price. You get a clear plan showing exactly what will be cleaned and how before you commit.
Once you approve the proposal, Cleanin schedules the work around your operations, before opening, after hours, or during quiet periods, with pedestrian and vehicle areas managed for safety. There is no lock-in contract, so you can arrange a one-off clean or an ongoing maintenance programme.
