- Before & after photos
Drive-thru cleaning for restaurants and bank branches across metro Atlanta, for the property managers and facility managers responsible for them. We clean the lane from entry to exit, removing tire marks, gum, grease, algae, mold, moss and black streaks from the concrete customers drive across.
Customers drive the lane slowly and look at the surface while they wait, so stains there are hard to miss.
What we clean
We clean the whole lane and, if you want them, the areas around it:
- The full lane: approach, order point, pickup or teller window, and exit
- Tire marks and black streaks
- Grease tracked out from the kitchen
- Gum, algae, mold and moss
- Sidewalks, curbs and the dumpster pad nearby, each quoted as its own line
How we do it
We use hot water and a degreaser where grease has tracked out, lift the dirt with a surface cleaner, and rinse at high pressure. The pickup window is usually the worst section, because vehicles sit there idling.
Not all tire marks can be removed, and we say so in the quote before we start. The work is done after the restaurant or branch closes, so the lane stays open during business hours, and we plan where the wash water goes before the crew arrives.
How often to clean a drive-thru
Drive-thru lanes are among the surfaces on a commercial property that visibly degrade fastest, so they are good candidates for a monthly or quarterly schedule. A one-time cleaning makes sense when a lane has gone a long time without one, or before an inspection or property tour.
What affects the quote
Each lane is priced from the site. These are the things that move the number:
- The length and width of the lane
- How much grease, tire marking and gum has built up
- Whether sidewalks, curbs or the dumpster pad are added
- Water access near the lane
- The hours the lane is closed
- A one-time cleaning or a recurring program
Why property managers hire us
Because the lane is cleaned while it is closed and the scope is settled in writing first.
- Night and weekend work as standard
- Fully insured, with certificates of insurance naming your owner or management company on request
- Written, itemized proposals, and before-and-after photos with the invoice
- Backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee
Why it matters
Safety
Grease and algae on a drive-thru lane are slick for drivers and for staff who walk it. Cleaning after close keeps the crew and equipment away from customers.
Appearance
Customers look at the lane while they wait at the order point and the window. Removing black streaks and grease makes the whole site look cared for.
Longevity
Grease left on concrete soaks in and gets harder to lift over time. Regular cleaning removes it before it sets into a stain that will not fully come out.
Health
Mold, moss, algae and food grease collect where cars queue. Cleaning removes them from the surface customers and staff walk on.

Questions about drive-thru lane cleaning
How do you clean a restaurant drive-thru lane?
We clean drive-thru lanes of tire marks, gum, algae, mold, moss and black streaks, using hot water and a degreaser where grease has tracked out from the kitchen. The approach, order point, pickup window and exit all get the same treatment, and the window area is usually the worst because vehicles sit there idling. The work is done after the restaurant closes, so the lane is never out of service during business hours. Not all tire marks come out completely, and we say so before we start.
Can you remove tire marks from a drive-thru lane?
Tire marks will be cleaned and will improve, but not all of them can be removed, and we say that in the quote. We use hot water, a degreaser and a surface cleaner, then rinse at high pressure. The pickup window area is usually the worst, because cars sit there idling, and older, heavier marks are the hardest to lift.
Do you need to close the drive-thru to clean it?
Only while the work is happening, and we do it after you close. Drive-thru cleaning is scheduled overnight or before opening, so the lane stays in service during business hours. If your lane runs late, tell us the quietest window and we will plan the work around it.
Do you clean bank drive-thru lanes?
Yes. Bank drive-thru lanes get the same treatment as restaurant lanes: tire marks, gum, algae, mold, moss and black streaks are cleaned from the approach, the teller lanes and the exit. The work is scheduled after the branch closes. Not all tire marks can be removed, and the quote says so before we start.
How often should a drive-thru be pressure washed?
Busy drive-thru lanes are good candidates for a monthly or quarterly schedule, because they are among the surfaces that visibly degrade fastest on a commercial property. Grease from the kitchen and tire marks from idling cars build up quickly near the pickup window. A recurring program can include the lane, the sidewalks and the dumpster pad, each priced as its own line.
Can you clean the drive-thru, sidewalks and dumpster pad in one visit?
Yes. The drive-thru lane, the sidewalks and curbs around the building and the dumpster pad can be cleaned on the same overnight visit, each listed as its own line on the proposal. That lets the property manager or the tenant approve the areas they are responsible for separately. Tell us which areas belong to whom when you ask for a quote.
