A drive-thru along the I-49 corridor in Springdale handles a punishing amount of vehicle traffic. Cars idle, drip fuel, and queue across the same narrow concrete strip thousands of times a week, with the worst staining concentrating at the order box, payment window, and pickup window. Curbs pick up tire scuffing on every approach, and out the back, employees hauling trash bags carry kitchen grease across the employee entrance pad. That kind of buildup needs targeted chemistry to release, not the same approach used on residential concrete.
Arkan Softwash runs drive-thru cleaning as a specialty commercial service. The crew shows up after hours with heavy oil treatment, multiple degreasers matched to the staining, a proprietary tire-mark additive for curbs, and a hot water machine on the truck for jobs that cold-water chemistry can’t clear on its own. We’re Plant and Property Protection Certified through Spray Wash Academy, fully insured, and we back every job with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. To date, no job has needed a refund.
Call 479-877-5399 for a free walkaround on your Springdale, Rogers, or Tontitown drive-thru. We’ll scope the work in one visit so it fits inside your closed-hours window.
The first call is a working conversation. We ask detailed questions about the lane, surrounding pads, oil severity, drainage, and any adjacent services you want covered. For most drive-thrus we follow up with an in-person walkaround because staining and runoff routing show up clearly on site.
We agree on a closed-hours window, which for most QSR sites means overnight. Three to four hours of working time fits inside that window comfortably. On the day of service, the crew confirms arrival with a 30-minute heads-up call and text.
The truck is positioned for water access, chemicals are staged, and cones, signs, and caution tape go around the work area. Berms or water deterrents go in next to direct contaminated runoff away from storm drains and landscaping.
Heavy oil treatment and the matched degreaser go down on the lane, with extra application at the order box, payment window, and pickup window where idle time is longest. The degreaser with tire-mark additive is applied to curbs, and the pads get the same chemistry with targeted spot treatment.
The surface cleaner runs at 2,500 PSI or lower across the lane and pads at an even pace. If staining isn’t fully releasing under cold water, we switch to the hot water machine for the affected zones.
A flush rinse clears the loosened residue, and the sludge sucker collects the contaminated water and moves it to a safe area away from drains. We then walk the lane to re-treat any stubborn oil, grease, or rust spot before a final rinse and neutralization near landscaping.
Before we leave, the crew inspects every cleaned surface and re-treats anything that doesn’t look right. Where there’s an on-call manager, we walk the lane for sign-off; where there isn’t, before-and-after photos go to the property contact for confirmation.
The invoice goes out only after you’ve confirmed the result. A follow-up note checks the work after the first business day, with a separate text and email asking for a Google review. From there, we’ll open a conversation about a recurring schedule for the lane and any commercial bundle that fits your site.
Every job carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee on workmanship. If anything looks off after we leave, the contract gives us the opportunity to come back and make it right. If the result still isn’t where it needs to be after that, the job is refunded. To date, no job has needed a refund because the comeback fix has always worked.
The guarantee covers the cleaning itself: lane, curbs, pads, and any add-on surfaces in scope. Pre-existing damage isn’t caused by the wash, and we flag it during the walkaround so there’s no confusion afterward. The most common pre-existing conditions we point out before starting:
Drive-thru cleaning starts at $400. Final pricing depends on lane square footage, oil staining severity, runoff containment needs, whether the hot water machine is required, and whether the dumpster pad and employee entrance are added to the same visit. Recurring maintenance pricing for ongoing accounts is lower than one-off pricing.
We clean drive-thrus when the location is closed, which for most QSR and fast-food sites in Springdale means overnight. There’s no overspray on customer vehicles, no chemical contact with guests, and no blocked lane during business hours. The lane is ready for the next morning’s open.
A typical drive-thru runs three to four hours of working time on site. The closed-hours window for most QSR locations in Springdale fits that timing comfortably.
Yes. That bundle is the most common buying pattern we see. The same after-hours visit can also cover a building wash, storefront windows, or a parking lot pass if you want them in scope.
Yes. That’s one of the two most common questions we hear on drive-thru work. We apply the same degreaser system used on the lane with targeted spot treatment along the high-grease path between the back door and the dumpster.
No. We run the surface cleaner at 2,500 PSI or lower, which is our concrete standard, and we’ve cleaned hundreds of driveways and commercial concrete surfaces with an even, consistent finish across the work area.
Berms or water deterrents redirect contaminated runoff away from storm drains and delicate surfaces while we work, and a sludge sucker captures and relocates the water afterward. For jobs that require a full reclamation system, we rent one. When local stormwater rules are unclear, we call the relevant agency before we start.
No. Surface cleaning runs at 2,500 PSI or lower, and the chemistry is diluted and neutralized as needed for the surface. We use neutralizers to protect adjacent landscaping, drains, and finishes.
Yes. We carry a 100-gallon tank on the truck. For larger jobs or sites that can’t supply enough water, we rent 500-gallon or 1,000-gallon water trailers.
We’re fully insured and back the work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The crew is also Plant and Property Protection Certified through Spray Wash Academy.
Yes. Recurring maintenance pricing is lower than one-off pricing, and higher-volume QSR locations in Springdale, Rogers, and Tontitown usually benefit from a recurring schedule, often paired with building washing, window cleaning, and parking lot maintenance on the same cycle.
Our contract includes a comeback clause. You call us, we come back to fix anything that doesn’t look right. If the result still isn’t what you want after that, the job is refunded. To date, no job has needed a refund.
Yes. For operators with multiple sites, we coordinate recurring schedules across the portfolio and apply our customized per-property pricing to each location. Call us and we’ll scope the right cadence for the whole portfolio in one conversation.
