While the primary focus on hospitals is to keep the interior spaces ultra-sanitized and hygienic, attention must be paid to the exterior, too. Consider this. The very first thing visitors and patients see is your hospital’s facade. The impression they have sets the foundation for what they are expecting on the inside.
Make patients and their loved ones feel more secure about the care they’ll receive by welcoming them to a clean and sanitized hospital inside and out. With professional commercial cleaning from a company like Squeegee Squad, your hospital can enjoy comprehensive exterior building services, including:

Most hospitals have a multitude of windows, siding, and other installations comprising the structure’s exterior. Often, hospital complexes have several buildings, all of which attract grime, dirt, dust, and other debris over time. Certified pressure washing specialists can tackle surfaces including:
Whether standard debris accumulations or something more unsightly like chipping paint, hard water stains, or graffiti are problematic, pressure washing with specialized solutions can remove them. Overall, hospitals look better and are safer for occupants after the sanitization process.
Ensuring patient’s and visitors’ safety truly begins when they roll into the parking lot or a covered garage section. They then typically traverse to the stairwell or elevator, where high-touch surfaces are everywhere. If not sanitized, those entering the hospital can bring along millions of pathogens into the facility.
Ultimately, this could jeopardize the well-being of occupants, including patients who are already ill and immunocompromised. One of the biggest benefits of professional pressure washing is that it quickly eliminates debris on cement and asphalt parking lots, parking garages, sidewalks, and ramp installations.
Experienced pros like those at your local Squeegee Squad can even tackle those difficult-to-clean areas such as elevator shafts, partitions, and stairwells. One commonly overlooked hospital space is one no one hopes to need—the helipad. During emergencies, technicians must be thorough in cleaning while being aware of incoming choppers during the job.
The primary surfaces on a hospital’s exterior involve glass installations like windows, see-through atriums, and space-opening skylights. Due to their transparent nature, debris is highly visible and can accumulate rather quickly. This means that routine cleaning is pivotal to keeping the medical facility looking tidy and hygienic.
Because pressure washing has the potential to shatter or crack windows and perhaps peel away any tint applications in place, professionals will use a soft washing process when cleaning windows. Experts have the proper tools to employ this gentle yet highly effective process that cleans, sanitizes, and leaves commercial windows spot-free.
Another aspect of maintaining a clean environment and preventing water leaks that can result in fungus growth like mold involves resealing, refreshing caulking, and weatherproofing. Before or after an exterior pressure washing or commercial window cleaning service is the optimal time to address these issues.
Growing numbers of people have extreme sensitivities to the harsh vapors and fumes from industrial strength chemicals, which certainly isn’t beneficial within hospital environments. The good news is, there are EPA and CDC-approved disinfectants and surfactants that effectively clean and sanitize. These cleaning solutions are biodegradable and gentler on surfaces, the planet, and the occupant’s senses and respiratory systems.
Reduce the risks and liabilities to your organization by hiring a licensed and insured company for power washing exteriors and soft washing windows that comply with OSHA standards. Our technicians are highly trained and certified in safety standards, techniques, and biodegradable cleaning solutions.
