Food Grease Does Not Rinse Away

The sidewalk in front of a busy Hoboken restaurant takes a beating. Grease gets tracked out the door, drinks get spilled at the outdoor tables, and every delivery and every diner grinds it a little deeper into the concrete. By fall it reads as one dark, blotchy stretch, right where customers walk in.

With the holidays coming, this restaurant wanted the front of the house looking as good as the inside. The job was the full sidewalk along the block: entrance, outdoor seating area, and every panel out to the curb.

Pretreat And Scrub

Grease is the reason plain water never works on a restaurant sidewalk. It has to be broken down first. Detergent goes on across the stained panels and gets time to dwell, and you can see it foam up where the grease is heaviest.

The worst spots get scrubbed by hand with a stiff brush, which works the cleaner into the pores of the concrete so the grease lets go when the water hits it.

Working On A Public Sidewalk

This was a daytime job on a busy block, and a sidewalk belongs to everyone who walks it. Caution signs go out first, the crew works in sections so there is always a dry path for neighbors and passersby, and the restaurant's entrance stays open the whole time.

Surface Clean, Then Rinse To The Curb

Once the grease is loosened, the surface cleaner lifts it out in even passes with no stripes, and a final rinse pushes everything off the sidewalk and into the street instead of leaving it to dry back onto clean concrete.
