Concrete surfaces take a beating in commercial settings — oil drips from vehicles, gum from foot traffic, rust staining from metal fixtures, biological growth in shaded areas, and years of embedded dirt all accumulate into surfaces that look far worse than they need to. Hutchinson Pressure Wash provides professional concrete and parking lot cleaning throughout Hutchinson and Reno County that restores surfaces to a clean, safe, professional appearance.

Oil Stain Removal
Oil and fuel stains are one of the most common concrete cleaning challenges in commercial parking areas, and they're also one of the most noticeable. Fresh oil stains can often be removed completely with professional degreasers and hot water pressure washing. Older, set-in stains may lighten significantly but complete removal isn't always possible depending on how long the stain has been present and how deep it has penetrated.
We use commercial-grade degreasers applied with dwell time before pressure washing — not just high-pressure water alone, which pushes oil stains deeper into the concrete rather than removing them.
Gum Removal
Chewing gum on sidewalks and entryways is an eyesore that standard pressure washing won't remove effectively. Hot water at the right temperature and pressure, combined with targeted treatment, releases gum from concrete surfaces without leaving a shadow or discoloration behind. We handle gum removal for retail storefronts, restaurant entryways, and any high-foot-traffic commercial area in Hutchinson.
Pre-Sealcoating Concrete Cleaning
If you're planning to sealcoat your parking lot, a thorough pressure washing first is essential. Sealcoat applied over dirty, oil-stained concrete won't bond properly and will peel prematurely. We coordinate with sealcoating contractors in the Hutchinson area and can schedule concrete cleaning ahead of a sealcoating project to ensure the best possible result.
Biological Growth on Concrete
Shaded concrete areas — north sides of buildings, covered walkways, areas under trees — develop algae and mold growth that makes surfaces look dirty and can become slippery when wet. We treat biological growth with appropriate algaecides before pressure washing to kill it at the root, not just remove the surface growth that will quickly return.
How much does parking lot cleaning cost in Hutchinson?
Parking lot and concrete cleaning is priced by square footage, surface condition, and the types of staining involved. A typical commercial parking lot cleaning in Hutchinson runs $0.05–$0.15 per square foot. We provide free written estimates so you know the exact cost before we start.
Can you completely remove old oil stains?
It depends on how long the stain has been there and how deep it has penetrated. Fresh stains often come out completely. Stains that have been there for years may lighten significantly but complete removal isn't always possible. We'll give you an honest assessment during the estimate rather than promising results we can't guarantee.
How long before the area can be used again?
Concrete dries quickly after pressure washing in Kansas's dry climate — typically 30–60 minutes on a warm day. We can schedule cleaning during off-hours to minimize any impact on your business operations.
