Restaurant footpaths, balconies and shared entries in Burwood
Around Burwood Road and Parramatta Road, footpaths in front of food businesses collect oil, sauce spills and food waste, and bins and grease traps add to the mess. These areas need hot water and detergent, and wash water must be controlled so it does not run into drains.
Nearby apartment buildings have balconies, entry courts and car park ramps that get grimy from traffic and weather. In older streets, houses often have long, narrow driveways and brick fences with algae on the shaded side. The railway and main roads add fine dust to surfaces, so even clean-looking walls can carry a grey film that shows up when washed.
