Industry studies have confirmed that car parks that are neat and clean attract more customers and elicit fewer complaints than facilities that are dusty, dirty, or littered with rubbish. This is true whether the facility charges for parking or provides it for free (such as at a shopping centre).

Sand, gravel, and dust act as abrasives under vehicle wheels, and can increase the wear on driving surfaces. When asphalt surfaces become worn, they become more susceptible to water infiltration and begin to break down. Concrete wears too, and the resultant concrete dust necessitates even more cleaning. Slow down this process with regular car park sweeping.
Parking surfaces and decks last longer when car park cleaning services are carried out on a regular basis.

Regular car park cleaning also makes a parking facility much safer because accumulated sand and debris can increase the risk of slips and falls. By eliminating these materials and maintaining surfaces in good condition, injuries and possibly even legal action can be minimized if not eliminated.
