Why is a car dealership harder to keep clean?

A dealership is many buildings in one. The showroom is a glass box with shiny tile floors where every fingerprint and footprint is visible. The service drive takes in wet, salty cars all winter. The lounge, restrooms and offices deal with endless waves of people waiting on their cars. And don't forget the shop, which carries oil and brake dust toward everything else.

Windows are the largest project in the showroom. Floor-to-ceiling windows collect road film on the outside and handprints on the inside, and the afternoon sun shows every streak. We use our water-fed window system to clean showroom glass. It pushes water through a 7-step filtration process and a high-pressure pump so when the glass dries there are no spots.

Then we experience a Michigan winter. Every vehicle that enters the service drive kicks up slush and road salt that customers track across showroom tile and into the lounge carpet. Salt residue causes a white film that dims your floor and breaks down finish quicker. From first snowfall to spring melt, your floors will need more frequent scrubbing and your entrances require extra attention. Read why in our guide to winter floor care and road salt.

What does a dealership need from a cleaning company?

  • A showroom that looks new every morning

    Glass, floors and display areas are cleaned prior to opening doors and displayed vehicles are worked around carefully.

  • A service drive that looks cared for

    Concrete or tile floor in the service drive is scrubbed to remove salt, oil tracks and tire marks, ensuring the first thing a service customer sees is a clean bay.

  • A lounge customers don't mind waiting in

    Customers spend real time sitting in the lounge. Chairs, tables, the coffee station and the restrooms next to it receive the same focus as the showroom does.

  • Cleaning around long hours

    Many stores open early for the service department and stay open late for shoppers. Cleaning happens in between: overnight, before dawn or on your day off.

Car dealership cleaning questions

Do your crews touch the display vehicles?

Crews clean around display vehicles. Equipment and cleaning solution are kept away from paint. We don't move vehicles. If vehicles need to be moved for floor work, your staff will move them first, and we schedule that work together.

How do you keep up with salt in winter?

By adjusting the cleaning schedule for the season. The entrances, service drive and showroom floors see much more cleaning in the winter months. We scrub them more frequently and remove salt film with a cleaner designed to do so. That helps prevent buildup and dulling of the floor.

Can you clean the outside of the showroom glass?

Yes. RCO uses a water-fed pole system to wash exterior glass from the ground. Its filtered water dries leaving no spots.

Do you clean the service shop floor?

Service drive and shop floors can be scrubbed after the shop closes. Lifts, tools and equipment stay with your team. Your shop cleans up large fluid spills using its own spill procedures prior to us scrubbing.

Who should I hire to clean a car dealership in Metro Detroit?

Find a commercial cleaning company that will clean when your store is closed. One that washes glass without spots and keeps up with salt season. RCO Cleaning will walk the dealership with you for free and send a written quote back to you within 24 hours of the walkthrough. We price by cleanable square footage and what needs to be done in each area.
