How to Clean a Car Dealership Showroom

A car dealership showroom is a sales tool, and its appearance shapes how customers feel about the cars inside it. Glossy floors, spotless glass and clean vehicles all matter. Here is how to keep a showroom looking its sharpest.

The Showroom Floor Is the Star

Most showrooms have polished concrete, tile or another glossy hard floor designed to make vehicles look good. Keeping that shine is the priority:

• Dust mop daily to remove grit that dulls the gloss
• Scrub with a neutral cleaner using an auto scrubber
• Restore shine with a high speed burnisher on a regular schedule
• Address tire marks and scuffs from vehicles promptly

Glass and Reflective Surfaces

Showrooms are full of glass, from exterior walls to display cases. Clean glass streak free so the space looks bright and open. Smudge free entrances and windows make a strong first impression and let natural light show off the vehicles.

Vehicle Presentation Areas

1. Keep the floor around each vehicle spotless, since customers look down
2. Manage any fluid drips with absorbent and a degreaser
3. Dust display vehicles and keep them fingerprint free
4. Maintain clean pathways between vehicles

Customer Areas

The waiting lounge, restrooms and offices are part of the experience. Vacuum carpet with a commercial vacuum, keep coffee and refreshment areas clean and disinfect high touch surfaces. A clean lounge reassures customers during a long buying or service visit.

Service Bays Are Different

If the routine extends to the service area, that floor faces grease and fluids and needs degreasers and aggressive scrubbing rather than the gentle care the showroom gets. Keep the two routines separate so showroom shine is never compromised. Equip the showroom with our burnishers and auto scrubbers.
