Why fire stairs must be kept clean
Fire stairs are an essential safety feature in any multi-level car park. In the event of an emergency, they serve as a crucial evacuation route for staff and patrons. If these stairs are not properly maintained, they can become a hazard, potentially impeding a safe evacuation and leading to serious consequences, including injury or even loss of life.
That’s why ensuring your fire stairs are regularly and thoroughly cleaned is non-negotiable. At Sydney Sweep and Scrub, we specialise in deep cleaning concrete fire stairs using state-of-the-art pressure washing equipment to eliminate built-up dirt, stains, and hazardous debris.
Benefits of regular fire stair pressure washing
There are plenty of benefits to having your fire stairs pressure washed on a regular basis.
1. Improved safety
Safety is the number one priority when it comes to fire stair maintenance. Stains, grime, moss, and accumulated dust can create slippery surfaces, increasing the risk of slips and falls. Regular pressure washing ensures your fire stairs remain clean, slip-resistant, and safe for use at all times.
Our expert team utilises high-pressure water—both hot and cold—combined with eco-friendly cleaning agents to effectively remove tough stains, grease, and grime. This proactive approach minimises hazards and ensures that, in the event of an emergency, your fire stairs are ready for safe and efficient use.
2. Protecting health and air quality
Dirty fire stairs can present more than just a tripping hazard—they can also affect the health of anyone using them. Enclosed stairwells often accumulate fine dust particles, which can cause respiratory irritation and exacerbate conditions such as asthma and bronchitis.
Additionally, prolonged exposure to harmful dust types like silica dust—often found in concrete-based environments—can lead to serious long-term health risks, including lung disease and cancer. Regular professional cleaning significantly reduces these risks, helping to maintain a healthier environment for employees and visitors alike.
3. Compliance with safety regulations
Maintaining clean fire stairs is not just a best practice—it’s often a legal requirement. Workplace health and safety regulations mandate that emergency exits must be kept clear and in a safe condition at all times. Failure to comply with these standards can result in penalties, fines, and potential liability if an accident occurs.
Sydney Sweep and Scrub ensures that your fire stairs are not only visibly clean but also meet all relevant safety and compliance requirements, giving you peace of mind that your facility is adhering to industry standards.
4. Enhanced presentation and professionalism
Even if your fire stairs are rarely used, they should always be clean and presentable. Dirty or neglected stairwells can create a negative impression on visitors, clients, or regulatory inspectors. Just like the rest of your car park, well-maintained fire stairs reflect positively on your business.
Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of grime, unsightly stains, and foul odours, ensuring that every part of your facility looks professional and well cared for.
