What's Used to Clean a Building Facade

Facade cleaning is a specialized job with its own chemicals and equipment. Here is what it typically involves, and where it fits next to regular office cleaning.

By the Super Green Cleaning team · Bethlehem, PA

Facade cleaning, washing the exterior walls of a building, is a different job from interior cleaning, and it's worth knowing the difference before you call someone.

What it usually involves

Depending on the material, brick, stucco, concrete or glass, facade cleaning can use anything from a simple detergent-and-water pressure wash to stronger alkaline or acidic cleaners for stubborn staining, mildew or efflorescence (the white mineral residue that can form on masonry). The right choice depends on the surface, which is why it's typically handled by a specialist familiar with that material.

Why this is different from interior office cleaning

Facade work involves exterior equipment, sometimes lifts or pressure-washing gear, and chemicals chosen for masonry or glass rather than indoor surfaces. It's a separate trade from the day-to-day cleaning a business needs inside its space.

Where we fit in

Super Green Cleaning focuses on the inside: offices, clinics, restaurants, gyms, retail spaces and industrial facilities, cleaned with the same non-toxic products we use everywhere. If your building needs exterior facade work, that's a job for a specialist in that trade, but we're glad to help with everything inside it.
