Orlando runs on hospitality. Restaurants, drive-thrus, grocery anchors, hotels, and tourist-corridor properties have dumpster pads working overtime. Central Florida heat speeds up the decomposition of food residue and leachate inside the concrete, which is why a neglected pad turns black-stained, smelly, and pest-attracting within weeks.
Holliday’s Pressure Washing Services handles dumpster pad cleaning for property managers, restaurant operators, retail centers, and HOA boards across Orlando. We bring a hot water machine running at roughly 250 degrees, commercial-grade degreasers, and a 36-inch surface cleaner, then run the work after hours so your tenants never see it.
Call (407) 276-1343 for a written estimate on a one-time clean or a recurring schedule.
A dumpster pad job rarely ends at the slab. Contamination trails onto curbs, transition aprons, and parking-lot concrete.
Holliday’s Pressure Washing handles commercial pad work differently than most operators in the Orlando market.
Every job follows the same eight-step sequence.
Tina takes the first call or web-form submission and asks about pad size, business type, accessibility, water access, and frequency. Square footage is measured on-site and the written estimate goes out with the stain-removal disclosure built in.
Customer-facing businesses get overnight service by default. Confirmation texts, on-the-way notifications, and ETA updates go out so the on-site contact knows when the crew is arriving. For apartment complexes, property management notifies tenants and the crew leaves printed notes on doors closest to the work zone.
The crew sets the safety zone, confirms the water source (your spigot or the 535-gallon tank with fire hydrant refill on standby), notes drain locations, and plans rinse direction before any chemical hits the pad.
Degreaser goes down across the pad, blooms get spot-treated with a stronger pump-up solution, and the stiff brush works the heaviest zones. The pad dwells for roughly 20 minutes before the surface cleaner runs.
The 36-inch surface cleaner runs across the slab in even passes at ~250°F. Edges, corners, and the area around bollards get finished with a hot-water wand.
A light controlled treatment of sodium hypochlorite goes down where organic staining or odor remains, only in zones away from drains. An enzyme or quaternary sanitizing post-treatment is available as an add-on for restaurants and grocery stores.
The crew does a final walk-around to confirm the pad is spot-free before leaving. Before-and-after photos go out by text or email along with the invoice for overnight commercial work.
The invoice goes out the same day. The happy call from Tina a few days later confirms the daylight-inspection result, and recurring clients already have the next visit on the schedule with the contract price break in place.
Every dumpster pad job carries three commitments: a spot-free finish, a satisfaction follow-up, and a written estimate that tells you what to expect.
Spot-Free Before the Crew Leaves
If active spots remain after the cleaning, the crew touches them up before leaving. Spot-free on a pad means active grease, food residue, and surface contamination are visibly cleared.
Customer Satisfaction Backed by Follow-Up
Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. The happy call from Tina a few days later gives you time to walk the pad in daylight, flag anything you want a second look at, and get it back on the schedule.
Honest Limits on Stain Removal
On pads where grease has soaked into porous concrete for years, our hot-water process flushes out the active residue and clears surface contamination. Any deep-soaked discoloration that remains is called out in writing on the estimate before work starts.
Pricing is available upon request because every pad is quoted on the actual slab, with the biggest variables being size, condition, accessibility, and frequency. Recurring contracts get a built-in price break, and bundling pad cleaning with another commercial service on the same visit qualifies for our $75 off multi-service discount.
100% stain removal is not guaranteed, and that is written into every estimate. Active grease, food residue, and surface contamination are visibly cleared before the crew leaves, while a residual shadow may remain on pads where grease has soaked in for years.
Overnight and after-hours service is the default for customer-facing properties. We coordinate the arrival window with your on-site contact and confirm by text, so the slab is finished and dry before your morning shift arrives.
Heavy food-service properties usually run monthly or every other month, because Central Florida heat speeds up grease and leachate decomposition. Medium-traffic retail and apartments do well quarterly, and lower-volume commercial pads typically run on a semi-annual schedule.
The first pass is hot water and pressure only, so what enters any drain is mostly water. Any chemistry applied afterward is intentionally light and stays in zones away from waterways.
Fuel-contaminated runoff requires a water reclamation system, which is a different operation than we run. For fuel-island and gas station work, we refer those jobs to operators who carry the right setup.
The pad is the primary service. A rinse of the front, sides, and lid of the dumpster can be added on request as a separate line item.
In most cases, yes. The hot-water and degreaser process flushes organic residue out of the pores of the concrete, which addresses odor at its source. An enzyme or quaternary sanitizing post-treatment is available as an add-on for severe odor.
Usually within an hour, once the pad is dry. The waste hauler’s next pickup runs normally, and we coordinate timing around your hauler’s window if it falls near our service.
Yes. We arrive with a 535-gallon onboard tank and carry fire hydrant meters for larger pads that need a mid-job refill, so site water access is rarely a constraint.
Call (407) 276-1343 or submit a contact form to request a written estimate for your Orlando dumpster pad. One-time cleans before a health inspection and recurring monthly visits for high-volume properties are quoted the same way: site walk, measurement, and an honest written number.
