What problems build up on Greensboro business properties?
Busy properties collect grime quickly, and Greensboro's humid weather adds to it. Retail strips along corridors like Battleground Avenue and Wendover Avenue see constant traffic, which leaves tire marks, oil drips and ground-in dirt.
Typical trouble spots include:
- Oil and grease stains in parking spaces and drive-through lanes.
- Gum, food spills and grease around restaurant entrances and dumpster pads.
- Green algae on shaded walkways and north-facing walls.
- Spring pollen on glass, railings and benches.
- Rust and mineral stains from irrigation or old fixtures.
Slippery walkways are also a liability, so cleaning is about safety as well as appearance. Shaded entrances under trees stay damp longer after rain, and a thin layer of algae on concrete can be as slick as ice. If customers or tenants walk through the area every day, that is the first place to look.
