A really useful look at spring cleaning the forecourt is in this weeks issue of Forecourt Trader. Here are a few of the opening paragraphs, with a link at the bottom for you to follow through.
Here are three essential steps;
1 Maintaining clean dispensers, hoses and nozzles: Fuel dispensers are among the most frequently touched surfaces at your station. Regularly wiping down pumps and cradles removes grime and prevents build-up. Adding a protective coating helps maintain the shine and protect against UV damage.
2 Tackling diesel and deep stains: Using bioremediation-based solutions on concrete and paver surfaces breaks down hydrocarbons and stains naturally, without wasting water, reduces lane downtime and is the most effective and environmentally responsible alternative to pressure washing.
3 Maintaining rubbish bins and outdoor fixtures: Dirty rubbish bins create an unpleasant odour, poor customer experience and attract pests. Emptying bins daily and cleaning inside and out prevents odours and sticky residues, improving the overall site appearance.
“Taking advantage of the next three months and understanding peak and off-peak fuelling hours allows forecourt managers to plan cleaning schedules efficiently. According to industry research, fuel sales peak from 6am to 7pm, with lower traffic in the evenings and on Sunday mornings. Here’s an optimal schedule for cleaning tasks:
• Sunday morning: Best time to apply bioremediation products to break down oil stains with minimal disruption.
• Mid-morning or evening: Ideal for cleaning diesel nozzles and dispensers when traffic is lower.
• Night shift: Best time for cleaning trash cans, bollards, air units and windscreen stations.
