Commercial Pressure Washing at Ikebana Apartments, West Melbourne

Client Background

Client: Ikebana Apartments
Location: West Melbourne, VIC
Service Provided: Commercial Pressure Washing – Building Facade, Terrace Floors, and Lobby Entrances
Type: Multi-residential apartment complex

The facility management team required a reliable and compliant cleaning partner to handle high-traffic exterior areas safely and efficiently. Tidy Hands was selected for our proven expertise in sustainable pressure washing and environmental compliance.

The Challenge

The facility management team at Ikebana Apartments contacted us about several exterior maintenance issues affecting both appearance and safety.

Algae build-up on exterior walls, creating slippery surfaces and an unattractive appearance.
Heavy dirt and grime on terrace flooring across three lobby entrances.
Oil and grease stains on pedestrian walkways caused by a nearby restaurant.
High pedestrian activity requiring strict safety control measures.
Lack of wastewater containment risking stormwater contamination.

Our Solution

We followed a structured, safety-first process to restore the property’s exterior without disrupting daily operations.

Site Risk Assessment & Planning – Our team identified hazards related to foot traffic, water runoff, and slip risks, then developed a controlled workflow for cleaning.
Safety Measures Implemented – We set up exclusion zones with signs, cones, and bollards. A spotter guided pedestrians and monitored the work area.
Wastewater Management – Used commercial vacuum recovery systems to collect wastewater and prevent storm drain contamination.
Specialised Equipment – Deployed industrial-grade hot water pressure washers for deep cleaning of algae, oil, and grime without harsh chemicals.

The Results

The project was completed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with environmental standards.

Exterior walls restored to a clean, algae-free finish.
Terrace and lobby floors fully cleaned, improving slip resistance.
Walkways degreased and visibly brightened.
No runoff entered stormwater systems, maintaining environmental compliance.
Minimal disruption to residents and pedestrians.
