Restaurant power washing in Toronto is about grease, and grease only comes off properly with heat. Our 200F hot-water rigs cut the black film on hood aprons, rear-door pads, patios and dumpster pads back to bare concrete, after close or before prep, with every litre of greasy water recovered so nothing runs into the lane drain.

## Why Do Restaurant Surfaces Get So Greasy?

Every kitchen exhausts grease. Some of it condenses on the roof and drips onto the concrete under the hood, which we call the hood apron. Staff carry more out the back door on their shoes, along with oil from the fryer station and food waste on the way to the bins. Dumpster pads collect leachate, the liquid that drains from waste, which smells, stains and draws fruit flies and rodents by midsummer.

Grease on concrete is slippery, especially when wet. It also soaks deeper over time, turning a clean grey pad black and sticky. Cold water and a pressure wand spread grease around and push it toward the drain, which creates a second problem with the City. That is why restaurants on College Street, King West and Queen West end up on monthly hot-water plans.

## What Is Included in Restaurant Power Washing?

A typical monthly plan includes:

-   **Hood apron degreasing** under the kitchen exhaust, roof drip line and rear wall
-   **Rear-door and lane pad** where staff traffic carries grease and food waste
-   **Front sidewalk** for gum, spills and salt in winter
-   **Patio** decking, pavers or concrete during patio season
-   **Dumpster pad and enclosure** with degreaser and odour control

We use a 4 gpm 200F hot-water power washer, an alkaline degreaser that emulsifies cooking fats, and a rotary surface cleaner for an even finish without wand stripes. The hydrovac vacuums wash water as we go.

## How Do Restaurant Plans Work?

### Contract and pricing table

| Plan | Surfaces | Typical price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Monthly, small restaurant | Hood apron, rear pad | $400-$600 per month |
| Monthly, full exterior | Apron, rear pad, sidewalk, patio, dumpster pad | $600-$900 per month |
| Bi-weekly patio add-on | Patio during patio season | Fixed per-visit rate |
| One-time deep clean | Any combination, written per surface | $350-$1,200 |

Monthly pricing is locked for 12 months and plan clients get priority dispatch.

### COI delivery in 24 hours

Many restaurants lease from a landlord or plaza that requires a certificate of insurance from every contractor. Ours shows $2M liability and can name the landlord or management company as additional insured. It arrives within one business day, with WSIB clearance attached.

### Hydrovac wastewater containment (Toronto Municipal Code 681)

Greasy wash water is exactly what Toronto Municipal Code 681 is meant to keep out of storm sewers. Before we start, drain cover mats go over lane and curb catch basins, berms contain runoff, and the on-truck hydrovac recovers the water. Landlords appreciate it, and so do neighbours who share the lane.

## When Should a Restaurant Book Power Washing?

-   **Monthly**, as routine maintenance for aprons, pads and dumpster areas
-   **Before patio season opens**, to clear winter salt and grime from the patio and frontage
-   **Before a health inspection or landlord walk-through**
-   **After a grease spill or a bin leak**, which our 24/7 line can dispatch for
-   **When pests or odours start**, usually a sign the dumpster pad needs degreasing

## How Much Does Restaurant Power Washing Cost?

Monthly plans run $400-$900 depending on the number of surfaces, grease load and frequency. One-time frontage and patio cleans typically run $350-$1,200. The quote is written per surface, so you can see exactly what the apron, pad, patio and dumpster area each cost and adjust the plan to your budget.

## Common Restaurant Problems We Solve

### Black hood aprons

Grease from the kitchen exhaust drips onto the concrete below. A 200F hot-water pass takes it back to bare grey concrete, often in under an hour.

### Slippery back doors

Grease carried out on shoes makes rear pads slick. Regular degreasing keeps staff safer during busy service.

### Fruit flies and odour by the bins

Leachate on the dumpster pad feeds pests. Monthly degreasing and odour control break the cycle.

### Sticky patios

Food and drink spills build up on patio pavers and decking through the season. Weekly or bi-weekly washing keeps them clean and safe.

Why us

## Why Choose Power Pressure Washing Toronto for Restaurant?

### Hot water that actually cuts grease

4 gpm 200F units melt and emulsify cooking grease. Cold water just moves it around.

### Never during service

Overnight and early-morning windows mean no wet floors for guests and no crew in the way of deliveries.

### Greasy water recovered

The hydrovac vacuums wash water instead of letting it run to the lane drain, in line with Toronto Municipal Code 681.

### Fixed monthly price

Plans from $400-$900 a month, locked for 12 months, with priority dispatch if a spill happens on a Friday night.

Case study

## A Recent Restaurant Project

![Night-time hot-water degreasing behind a Little Italy restaurant with hydrovac recovery](/images/features/night-hot-water-degreasing-of-restaurant-rear-pad-.webp)

Little Italy

### Little Italy Restaurant Hood Apron and Dumpster Pad

Rig: 4 gpm 200F hot-water unit + hydrovac recovery

A College Street restaurant in Little Italy had a hood apron black with grease, a sticky rear sidewalk and a dumpster pad drawing pests. Working after close, our hot-water rig took the apron back to concrete grey in about forty minutes, then degreased the sidewalk and pad while the hydrovac recovered every litre of greasy water. The owner moved to a monthly plan after the next health inspection.

## What Clients Say About Our Restaurant Work

Real jobs, real prices, written quote first.

Marco P.

Little Italy

$720

> "Our hood apron was black with grease. Hot water rig cleaned it to concrete grey in forty minutes. Health inspector noted it next visit."

Hood apron + sidewalk + dumpster

Luca V.

Trinity Bellwoods

$465

> "Running a busy kitchen on Queen West, the back pad and our patio get greasy fast and we were getting fruit flies by July. Their monthly plan covers the patio, rear door and dumpster pad with hot water, done before we open. They recover the dirty water instead of hosing it into the lane drain, which our landlord appreciated. The smell is gone and nobody slips at the back door anymore. Price stays the same every month, and they always send photos so I know it was done properly. When we had a grease spill at the back door on a Friday night, they picked up the phone and had someone out before Saturday brunch."

Natalie G.

Yorkville

$610

> "Our boutique entrance was covered in black gum spots and salt haze. They came at 6am, used hot water on the gum, and were packed up before we opened at 10. The sidewalk looks the way it should for the street we are on. Booking them monthly now. The manager even sent photos to our head office so they could see the before and after without visiting the store."

Mei L.

King West

$1,150

> "I manage a mid-rise condo in King West and needed the courtyard, entrance plaza and garage ramp done after salt season. The COI arrived the next morning with our corporation named, which never happens with other vendors. They sent resident notice wording we could post in the elevators, worked a Saturday, and used a vacuum system so no wash water went into the drains. The photo report with timestamps went straight into our board package. We have since moved to their annual plan with the price locked for the year. Two other managers in our portfolio have since signed on after seeing the reports."

Jason P.

Liberty Village

$575

> "Large tag across the side wall of our office building. They matched the chemistry to old brick, kept the runoff contained, and sent before and after photos we used to close out the city notice. Quick, careful and clearly experienced with this kind of wall. They also suggested a protective coating so the next tag comes off faster and cheaper."

## Restaurant FAQs

### How often should a restaurant be power washed?

Most busy Toronto restaurants do best on a monthly plan for the hood apron, rear pad and dumpster pad, with patios added weekly or bi-weekly during patio season. High-volume kitchens, fryer-heavy menus and pads near the back door sometimes need every two weeks. We suggest a frequency after seeing how fast your surfaces soil.

### What does restaurant power washing cost in Toronto?

Monthly recurring plans run $400-$900 depending on how many surfaces are included and how heavy the grease is. A one-time frontage and patio clean typically runs $350-$1,200. Every quote is written per surface, and plan pricing is locked for 12 months.

### Do you work after closing time?

Yes. Most restaurant work happens between midnight and 6am, after the last staff leave, or in the early morning before prep. You do not need to be there if the crew has access to water and the work areas.

### Will this help with health inspections?

Clean pads, aprons and dumpster areas reduce pest attraction and slip hazards, which are common inspection notes. Several of our clients, including a Little Italy restaurant on College Street, have had inspectors comment on the improvement. Our timestamped photo reports also show the area is maintained.

### Where does the greasy wash water go?

Into our hydrovac tank. Washing grease into a lane drain or curb catch basin is a problem under Toronto Municipal Code 681 and can lead to complaints and fines for the owner. We cover drains, berm the area and vacuum the water as we wash.

### Can you remove gum from the front sidewalk too?

Yes. Hot water softens gum so a surface cleaner can lift it without gouging the concrete. Front sidewalks are often added to monthly plans for restaurants on busy streets like College, Queen West and King West.

### Do you clean dumpster pads and enclosures?

Yes. Dumpster pads get hot water, an enzyme or alkaline degreaser for leachate and an odour neutralizer. Enclosure walls and gates are included. Pads can be cleaned on their own or as part of a restaurant plan. See our dumpster pad degreasing service for detail.

### Can you respond to a grease spill on short notice?

Yes. The phone is answered 24/7 and contract clients get priority dispatch. We have had crews out before a Saturday brunch after a Friday-night spill at the back door.

Still have questions?

The phone is answered 24/7. Ask about your surface, schedule or COI.
