Drive-Thru Cleaning in Charlotte, NC
Drive-thru lanes at Charlotte fast-food and coffee locations along South Boulevard, Independence, and the WT Harris Boulevard corridor see thousands of vehicles a week, depositing spilled drinks, food residue, gum, brake dust, and engine drips on a narrow strip of concrete that customers and inspectors see every day. We clean drive-thru lanes with hot water at 200+ degrees, surface cleaner agitation, and a heavy-duty alkaline degreaser pre-treatment that breaks up baked-on grease and food sugars.

Drive-thru lanes at Charlotte fast-food and coffee locations along South Boulevard, Independence, and the WT Harris Boulevard corridor see thousands of vehicles a week, depositing spilled drinks, food residue, gum, brake dust, and engine drips on a narrow strip of concrete that customers and inspectors see every day. We clean drive-thru lanes with hot water at 200+ degrees, surface cleaner agitation, and a heavy-duty alkaline degreaser pre-treatment that breaks up baked-on grease and food sugars.
All work is performed overnight, typically between midnight and 5 AM, to avoid disrupting morning rush and lunch operations. Gum is removed with a steam-equipped surface cleaner attachment, and we vacuum-reclaim wash water to comply with stormwater regulations and avoid pushing grease into storm drains. We carry restaurant-grade COI and are familiar with the operational requirements of Bojangles, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, and Dunkin franchise standards.
