Your drive-thru is the part of your restaurant most customers see. Oil drips, spilled drinks, food waste, gum and tire marks build up fast in the lane, and a stained lane or greasy curb makes a well-run location look neglected. Happy Pressure Washer is a family-owned pressure washing company based in Arlington, TX. We clean restaurant drive-thrus in Arlington, Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Midlothian and across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, mostly overnight, so your lane is clean and dry before the morning rush.

What We Clean
- Drive-thru lanes: oil drips, tire marks, food and drink spills and general grime from the full length of the lane, from entry to exit.
- Menu board and speaker pad areas: the stop-and-wait zones where vehicles idle and drips concentrate.
- Pickup window area: the concrete and curb below the window, where spills and dropped food collect.
- Curbs and islands: lane curbs, painted curbs and landscape island edges.
- Grease and oil stains: treated with degreaser, agitated and rinsed. Older, deep stains can often be lightened significantly but may not come out completely; we will tell you what to expect at the quote.
- Gum: built-up gum lifted from walkways, entrances and lane edges.
- Dumpster area: grease, food waste and odor-causing buildup on the dumpster pad and enclosure. See Dumpster Pad Cleaning.
- Entrances and sidewalks: front walkways, patios and door approaches.
- Building walls and canopies: exterior walls, drive-thru canopies and overhangs, using soft washing where the surface calls for lower pressure. See Building & Walkway Cleaning.
How It Works for Quick-Service Restaurants
Overnight Scheduling
Overnight is our primary time for commercial work. We clean after your drive-thru closes, or during your slowest hours if you operate 24/7, so customers and staff are not disrupted. For 24-hour locations we can work the lane in sections and coordinate with your manager on shift.
Recurring Maintenance Plans
Drive-thrus get dirty quickly, so most restaurants do better on a schedule than with one-off cleanings. We recommend a frequency based on your traffic and how quickly stains return, for example monthly or quarterly, and we can put the dumpster pad on its own, shorter cycle. Multi-unit operators can have every location on one plan.
We follow local regulations regarding wastewater recovery.
Minimal Disruption
We bring our own water and equipment, set up cones where needed, and leave the lane rinsed and clear for opening. If something needs your attention, such as damaged concrete or a drain issue, we note it for you.
Our Process
- Free quote and site walk. We look at the lane, stains, dumpster area and building, and discuss your hours and any requirements.
- Clear written scope. You get a quote that lists the areas, the frequency and the timing.
- Scheduling. We schedule overnight by default. Certificates of insurance are available on request before work begins.
- The cleaning. Pressure washing and surface cleaning for concrete, degreasing for oil and grease, soft washing for walls and canopies.
- Walkthrough and follow-up. We check the results and confirm the next visit if you are on a maintenance plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drive-thru cleaning cost?
Price depends on the length of the lane, the condition of the concrete and what else is included, such as the dumpster pad or building walls. We give a free written quote after a quick site walk, and recurring plans are usually priced per visit.
Can you clean my drive-thru overnight?
Yes. Overnight is our primary time for commercial work, so we clean after your drive-thru closes or during your slowest hours. For 24-hour locations we can clean the lane in sections and coordinate with your shift manager.
How often should a restaurant drive-thru be pressure washed?
Most busy drive-thrus benefit from cleaning monthly or quarterly. High-volume locations, or lanes with heavy oil and food spills, may need more frequent visits, and dumpster pads often need their own shorter schedule.
Can you remove grease and oil stains from a drive-thru lane?
Yes. We pre-treat oil and grease with degreaser, agitate it and then pressure wash and surface clean the lane. Fresh stains usually come out fully; older, deep stains can often be lightened significantly but may not disappear completely.
What areas around the drive-thru do you clean?
We clean the full lane, menu board and speaker pad areas, the pickup window area, curbs, the dumpster pad, entrances, sidewalks, building walls and drive-thru canopies. You choose the areas and we list them in the quote.
Which cities do you serve for drive-thru cleaning?
