Dirty Concrete Hurts Customer Perception More Than You Think

Dirty Concrete Hurts Customer Perception More Than You Think. Dirty concrete has consequences for your business beyond maintenance issues and liability concerns. It's often the first thing your customers will see when arriving at your business. The first impression your concrete makes will stick with customers, before they even enter your building. Dirty concrete will drive people away, regardless of how good the business inside is. Which is why washing your business's concrete regularly is critical to curb appeal and first impressions no matter the industry.

We want to give your business the best first impression possible. At CleanPro, we are experts at commercial concrete cleaning, working with companies of all sizes. We're big enough to handle any job, and small enough to give every customer the attention they deserve.

Dirty Concrete and St. Louis Customers' First Impressions

Nobody likes dirty spaces (well, almost nobody). They give off a sense of disorganization and carelessness. Building your brand's first impression starts with the first thing your customers see when they arrive, which is often the parking and the concrete. These set the tone for what is going on inside the business, and stains, graffiti, and grime don't give a positive impression.

These first impressions only last seconds, so in most cases, you won't even have the customer in the door before they're already forming opinions about your business. Dirty concrete and debris in the lot may not represent what's inside, but the customer won't know that.

Beyond the customers, walking on dirty paths each day will shape the impression of your employees. Being around grime and dirt each day increases the risk of illness, with negative impacts on both their health and productivity.

Together, we can make sure that your business's concrete is ready for success. Don't wait for the mess to become a problem; work with a professional power washer today.

Health and Safety on Dirty Concrete

When customers see dirty concrete in front of your business, they won't only think about professionalism. They'll think about health and safety, too. Especially in a health-cognizant society, people associate unclean spaces with unsafe spaces, even on an unconscious level. This also goes for physical risks like slip-and-falls that can occur on your business premises.

Health and safety matters for how your concrete is cleaned, too - if the location is washed but the dirty material is left to just sit there, it can be a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Contaminant removal techniques like vacuum recovery are needed to remove the grime completely.

The Benefits of Clean Concrete for Your St. Louis Business

Clean concrete, on the other hand, gives a positive first impression. Cleanliness has several positive psychological associations, and you can take advantage of several benefits:

• Boost your curb appeal for anyone driving by
• Garner trust from potential customers
• Improve the safety of your property
• Display the professionalism and care your customers can expect from your business's operations
• Show pride in your community
• Improve the lifespan of your concrete while preventing the development of cracks and defects

What to Look For in a St. Louis Concrete Cleaning Company

When your concrete is dirty, and you're looking to clean it, you'll want to bring in the pros. Because of its porousness, concrete absorbs substances that fall on top of it, including water, oil, grease, tire dust/rubber, salt, and more. These sink down and cause stains that are deep and difficult to remove.

When hiring a power washing company to clean your concrete, make sure that they can handle the hard parts, not just the surface-level dirt. At CleanPro, we do this in many ways:

• Before starting, we evaluate the whole area to identify problem spots that will need extra attention.
• If needed, we apply absorbent materials to pick up as much of the contaminant as possible.
• We use industrial-grade hot water and professional-grade, proprietary detergents to penetrate deep into the concrete.
• During the process, we use our vacuum recovery process to capture the contaminants and leave no residual chemicals behind.
• After washing, we rinse everything off and check the post-wash cleanliness.

Additionally, as the world shifts to be more environmentally conscious, your business will want to look for environmentally friendly cleaning methods. We take pride in using eco-conscious cleaning methods at CleanPro, and want to make that a selling point for your business, too.

Finally, because your business will keep going after the cleaning, your concrete will need regular cleanings in the future. At CleanPro, we recommend washing at least once per season, and offer custom commercial power washing plans for regular cleaning.
