Outdoor Cleaning


Outdoor cleaning requires a machine that maximizes productivity while eliminating the need for outdoor water sources. Additionally, outdoor cleaning applications require equipment that can efficiently clean large areas without downtime.

Lindbergh Plaza is known as one of Atlanta’s premier shopping destinations. With 26 acres of retail shops, parking lots and sidewalks, it is a plum contract for a cleaning professional like Michael Caruso, co-owner of Atlanta-based Amerisweep, LLC since January 2009. Amerisweep specializes in cleaning parking decks and surface lots, and shortly after Caruso joined the company in early 2008, he decided that the walk-behind pressure washers that Amerisweep had been using were too labor-intensive for big cleaning jobs. A few months later, Caruso began using the Cyclone 4500, a high pressure surface cleaner from Advance, and contracts like Lindbergh Plaza were finally within his reach.

The Cyclone 4500 provides a 34-inch cleaning path with deep cleaning consistency. With a patented cleaning and recovery head, the Cyclone 4500 aggressively removes build-up marks and petroleum deposits from concrete and other surfaces with no discharge into the environment and no damage to cleaned surfaces. All water used in the cleaning process is recovered and filtered so that all contaminants are removed, contained and the water is recycled—leaving behind nothing but a clean surface that dries quickly and is usable immediately.
