Drive thru lanes

[Maz]

Any of you guys clean bank drive thru lanes? I need a little advice. What type of degreaser do you use, and do you use full strength or dilute it? What is your routine for cleaning these lanes and islands? What is your average time per lane? What about customers using the ATM lanes--how do you clean with them constantly driving through? Do you block off the lanes? I started cleaning for a bank this weekend-42 banks per month. I am looking for a way to be more efficient. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am using a 3500psi,5 gpm,hot water unit. Also, I do not have to capture the water--as of now.
THANKS!
Maz, La.

Hey Maz,
We dont do bank drive thrus but we do a lot of restaurant drive thrus
no we don't shut the lane down (we clean at night)
we presoak the oil stains with a strong alkali degreaser (caustic beads, 3/4 to 1 lb per 5 gal of HOT water)then soak the whole pad wait 5-10 min then clean as normal.
hope this helps
Richard

I would shut the lane I was working on down if I were you. You would have less liability to worry about.
