Gas Station & Convenience Store Cleaning
The problem we see
Gas stations have specific cleaning needs that require specialized equipment and stormwater compliance: fuel spills on the forecourt, oil drips from idling vehicles, tire marks from constant traffic, MPDs (the pumps themselves), the canopy underside, and the convenience store front. We handle all of it on a regular schedule with the right chemistry and proper water capture.
How we approach it
Hot water with environmentally-compliant degreasers is the standard for forecourt cleaning. Cold water just smears fuel residue around — hot water breaks it down. We capture wash water per Florida NPDES stormwater rules: fuel-contaminated runoff legally cannot go to storm drains, and most cheap pressure washing operators ignore this.
What to expect on the day
We service single-station owners and multi-site operators across Broward, including major brands (Shell, Mobil, Chevron, BP, Marathon, Speedway) and independent stations. Single point of contact for multi-site owners, consolidated invoicing, consistent service standards.
What sets us apart
Brand standards from major fuel companies require monthly to quarterly forecourt and canopy cleaning. Falling behind on the schedule can hurt operator scoring with the corporate brand and can affect rebate programs.
Getting a quote
Most stations are an overnight job — typically between 11 PM and 5 AM, with one or two pumps closed at a time so we never shut down the entire forecourt. We coordinate with the operator to minimize sales disruption.
What's included
Every job comes with the same checklist. No surprises.
- Forecourt hot water wash with degreaser
- MPD (pump) cleaning — hand-detailed
- Canopy underside soft wash
- Convenience store storefront and entry glass
- Curbing, bumpers, bollards and trash receptacles
- Stormwater-compliant water capture and disposal
- Photo log per visit
- Off-hours service standard
- Multi-location coordination
- Brand-standard documentation for corporate audits
How it works
Plan
Site walk and schedule. Confirm pump rotation plan so we never close more than two pumps at a time. Stormwater capture method confirmed for the site.
Capture setup
Drain covers, capture mats and water recovery in place before any wash water hits the ground. This is what separates compliant operators from non-compliant ones.
Wash
Hot water and degreaser, methodical pass across forecourt. Hand wand on MPDs and around electronics. Canopy underside soft wash.
Dispose
Captured water removed and disposed properly. Site rinsed clean. Photo log to operator and corporate as required.
Why this matters in South Florida
South Florida's climate is brutal on exteriors
Forecourt cleanliness ties directly to fuel sales — clean stations sell more, and brand-standard inspectors notice. Major fuel brand standards typically require monthly to quarterly forecourt cleaning, with documentation for corporate audits.
Why proper technique matters here
Florida stormwater rules require capture of any fuel-contaminated wash water. We're set up for it on every truck. Plenty of contractors aren't, and the station owner is the one cited when contaminated runoff reaches storm drains.
Coastal vs. inland realities
Canopy undersides accumulate exhaust film, salt residue and the occasional bird issue. Annual to semi-annual canopy cleaning is the standard. Untreated, the canopy underside goes from white to dingy yellow within two years.
HOA, insurance, and resale pressure
Convenience store entries get heavy foot traffic and need attention as part of the same visit — entry glass, sidewalk, trash area, ice merchandiser exterior. Bundling with the forecourt wash is more efficient than separate visits.
Seasonal timing that pays off
Hurricane season requires extra attention. Storm debris on the forecourt, fuel spills from interrupted operations, and salt-laden rain all add to the cleaning load. Most operators schedule a deep clean before and after hurricane season as part of the annual program.
Signs it's time to call us
If any of these sound familiar, you're overdue.
