Parking Lot & Garage Cleaning
in Dacula, GA
Your parking lot is the first thing customers walk across - and the last thing they see when they leave. We clean commercial lots and parking garages across Gwinnett County, removing oil stains, gum, dirt, and years of buildup.
A parking lot does not seem like a high priority until you really look at it. Walk across yours tomorrow morning and pay attention. You will probably notice oil stains in every parking space. Gum stuck to the concrete near the entrance. Dark tire marks near the turns. Pollen and dirt built up along the curb lines. Maybe some algae growing in the shaded areas near the building. All of it adds up, and all of it sends a message to your customers before they even walk through your door.
At Kidd's ProWash, we clean parking lots and parking garages for businesses across Dacula, Lawrenceville, Buford, Auburn, Grayson, Suwanee, Duluth, and Snellville. From small professional office lots to major retail plazas along Sugarloaf Parkway and Highway 316, we have the equipment and experience to handle lots of any size. Chase started this company five years ago with a simple idea - people over profits - and that means we do thorough, honest work at a fair price.
What Makes Parking Lots So Dirty
Parking lots take abuse from two directions: the vehicles that use them and the Georgia weather. Between the two, it does not take long for a lot to go from clean to grimy.
Automotive Fluids
Every car that parks in your lot is potentially leaking something - engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, or brake fluid. Over time, the stains overlap and the entire lot darkens.
Gum & Debris
Look at the concrete near your entrance. Chances are there are dozens - maybe hundreds - of pieces of gum ground into the surface. Each one is a dark spot that makes the entrance look neglected.
Pollen & Organic Growth
Georgia pollen season coats everything from March through June. That pollen feeds mold and algae growth, especially in shaded areas near buildings, under trees, and along curb lines.
Red Clay & Weather
Georgia red clay gets tracked onto lots by tires and shoes, splashes up during rain, and settles along curbs and corners. It stains concrete and does not wash away with regular rain.
Our oil removal service addresses automotive fluid stains specifically, and we include targeted oil treatment as part of our parking lot cleaning process. General traffic wear - tire marks, scuff marks, exhaust residue - accumulates with every car that drives through, especially in high-traffic areas like entrance lanes and handicap spaces.
Our Parking Lot Cleaning Process
We clean parking lots during off-hours - typically overnight or very early in the morning - so there is zero impact on your business. For most lots, the entire process happens while the business is closed, and the lot is clean and dry by the time your first employees and customers arrive.
Sweep & Debris Removal
Before we wash anything, we clear the lot of loose trash, leaves, and debris. This step prevents us from just pushing junk around with water and makes sure the surface cleaning is effective.
Pre-Treat Oil Stains & Heavy Buildup
We apply professional-grade degreaser to areas with heavy oil staining, especially parking spaces, drive lanes, and entrance areas. For lots with food service tenants, we also pre-treat grease buildup near dumpster areas and drive-through exits.
Surface Cleaning
We use commercial surface cleaning machines with rotating high-pressure jets inside a housing that contains the spray and captures the water. The result is a perfectly even clean with no stripes, no missed spots, and no overspray hitting cars or buildings.
Detail Work
After the main surface cleaning pass, we go back and address curb lines, corners, sidewalk edges, handicap markings, and other areas that need hand attention. We also make a second pass on any oil stains that need extra treatment.
Rinse & Drain
We rinse the entire lot and make sure water drains properly through the existing drainage system. We check for any pooling or standing water and address it if needed.
Walk-Through & Inspection
We inspect the entire lot before we leave. If any area needs additional attention, we take care of it on the spot. We send the property manager or business owner a completion notification and, if requested, before-and-after photos.
Parking Garage Cleaning
Parking garages have all the same issues as surface lots - oil stains, gum, dirt, and organic growth - plus a few extra challenges. The enclosed structure traps moisture and exhaust fumes, which accelerates mold and mildew growth on the concrete surfaces, walls, and support columns. Stairwells and elevator lobbies within the garage collect debris, dirt, and tracked-in grime from every person who uses them.
We clean parking garages level by level, typically working from the top down. This allows water and cleaning solution to flow downward through the structure naturally. We surface clean the driving lanes and parking surfaces, wash down walls and columns, clean stairwells and landings, and treat oil stains throughout the structure.
Parking garages in Gwinnett County are commonly found at medical office complexes, mixed-use developments, and larger commercial properties near Sugarloaf Parkway and Lawrenceville. We coordinate garage cleaning with property managers to minimize disruption, typically working during overnight hours and clearing one level at a time so there is always parking available for tenants and visitors.
How Often Should You Clean Your Parking Lot?
The right frequency depends on the type of business, the amount of traffic, and the location of the lot. Here are our general recommendations based on five years of working with commercial properties across Gwinnett County:
Retail & Restaurants - Quarterly
High foot and vehicle traffic creates constant buildup. Quarterly cleaning keeps the lot looking maintained without overdoing it.
Office Buildings - Twice Yearly
Spring (after pollen season) and fall (before the wet winter months). These lots have less heavy traffic and can go longer between cleanings.
Apartment Complexes - 2–4x/Year
Resident parking areas accumulate oil stains and organic growth steadily. Frequency depends on the size and traffic of the complex.
Medical Facilities - Quarterly
Clean lots reinforce the cleanliness expectations patients have for health care facilities.
Gas stations benefit from monthly cleaning for the fuel island area and quarterly for the full lot due to heavier fuel and oil exposure. We offer recurring service agreements that take the scheduling off your plate. Set it up once and we handle the rest - showing up on schedule, doing the work, and keeping your lot consistently clean.
Why a Clean Parking Lot Matters for Your Business
Your parking lot is the biggest single surface on your commercial property. It is also the first thing customers interact with - they drive across it, walk across it, and form their first impression of your business based on what they see.
Bundling Parking Lot Cleaning With Other Services
Since we are already on your property with our equipment, it is the perfect time to take care of other exterior cleaning needs. Most of our property management clients in Gwinnett County bundle multiple services together for maximum impact and cost savings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing is based on the square footage of the lot, the level of staining and buildup, and whether the lot is concrete or asphalt. Small lots start around $300 to $500. Larger retail and commercial lots can range from $1,000 to several thousand. We provide free, detailed quotes based on an on-site assessment.
Yes. We clean both concrete and asphalt lots. The approach is slightly different - asphalt requires lower pressure to avoid surface damage - but the results are excellent on both materials. We remove oil stains, dirt, organic growth, and general grime from asphalt surfaces without harming the seal coat.
A small to medium lot (50 to 100 spaces) typically takes three to five hours. Larger lots can take a full night or may need to be broken into sections over multiple visits. We provide time estimates in our quote so you can plan accordingly.
In most cases, yes. Concrete lots dry faster than asphalt, and Georgia's warm temperatures help with evaporation. If we finish cleaning by 4 or 5 AM, the lot is typically dry by the time your first customers arrive.
