Restaurant Pressure Washing
What does restaurant pressure washing clean?
Restaurant pressure washing focuses on outdoor dining patios, entries and sidewalks, back-of-house concrete and grease and bin areas. Grease is treated with degreaser and hot water where appropriate, which also removes odor-causing residue. Work is scheduled outside service hours.
Restaurants face two cleaning problems: guest-facing patios and entries that must look inviting, and back-of-house areas where grease, food waste and spills build up quickly. Both need cleaning that fits around service.
Grease-affected concrete is treated with degreaser and cleaned with hot water where appropriate; patios and entries are cleaned with surface cleaners. Work is scheduled before opening or after close.

What restaurant pressure washing removes
This service removes grease film tracked out from back doors, dried food and sauce spatter on patios, soda and wine stains on outdoor seating concrete, gum near host stands and entries, and the sticky residue that collects around bins and grease trap areas. It also clears general grime and dust that settles on outdoor furniture pads and walkways between service.
What cleaning can't fix
Pressure washing will not remove grease that has soaked deep into porous, unsealed concrete over a long period — those spots can lighten substantially but still show a shadow. It won't fix concrete that has pitted or cracked from repeated chemical exposure, and it doesn't address anything inside the building, including hoods, ducts, or kitchen floors. Paint or stain applied over old grease spots is a cosmetic fix, not a cleaning one, and we won't guess at what's underneath it.
How we do it, and why this method
Patio and entry concrete gets a straightforward surface-cleaner pass since guests see that area directly and it needs to look even. Back-of-house concrete near dumpsters and grease areas is a different job — it's treated with a degreaser first, given time to break down the grease, then cleaned with hot water where the surface allows, since hot water cuts through grease far better than cold.
Because restaurants run on tight schedules, the two zones are often worked at different times: patios before opening when guests are still arriving, and grease areas before or after service hours when the back door isn't in constant use.
What affects the cost
- Square footage of the patio versus the back-of-house area changes the scope significantly.
- Heavier grease buildup near dumpsters and bins needs more degreasing time than light spills.
- Scheduling around open hours, delivery windows or events can shift crew timing.
- Outdoor seating with a lot of furniture to move adds setup time.
- Odor-causing residue in enclosed service corridors may need extra passes.
- Frequency of service — one-time versus a recurring plan — affects buildup level at each visit.

When to schedule
Front-of-house patios are often kept on a steady schedule since guest impressions matter every day, while back-of-house grease areas are usually timed around how quickly residue builds up for that particular kitchen. Restaurants gearing up for a busy season sometimes schedule a deeper clean beforehand so both areas start fresh. Outside of that, timing is mostly dictated by the restaurant's own hours rather than weather.
What to expect on the day
Crews coordinate a time window with management so work doesn't overlap with service or deliveries. Outdoor furniture, planters and any decor on the patio should be cleared or moved aside before the crew arrives. Grease areas near bins are treated first to let the degreaser work while other sections are cleaned, and the back door area is rinsed last so wastewater is managed properly before the crew leaves.
Questions
Restaurant Pressure Washing FAQ
Can you clean grease around the back door?
Yes. Grease areas are degreased and cleaned; long-set staining may lighten rather than disappear.
Do you clean kitchen hoods?
No — our work is exterior and flat-surface cleaning, not hood or duct cleaning.
Will cleaning affect our open hours?
Work is usually scheduled before opening or after close specifically to avoid disrupting service.
Does this include inside the kitchen?
No, this service is exterior concrete and surfaces only — kitchen interiors, hoods and floors are a separate trade.
Can you handle a recurring schedule for the dumpster and back-door area?
Yes, many restaurants set up repeat visits for grease-prone areas since buildup returns steadily.
What happens to the wastewater from grease cleaning?
Runoff from degreased areas is managed with drainage in mind rather than allowed to flow freely off the property.
