Escalators are very commonly seen in metro cities, they are used in shopping malls, hospitals, movie theatres, hotels, casinos, cruises, restaurants, airports, etc. The escalators give the facility a majestic look, but it is equally difficult to maintain them. The greasy and dirty escalators can put down the image of the facility and also cause accidents. There are businesses which are reluctant on the cleaning of the escalators due to the high amount of downtime. There are professional cleaning services available in the United States who are trained and experienced to carry out the cleaning in very less downtime. Various types of cleaning methods are available in the market like dry ice blasting, abrasive blasting, soda blasting, industrial painting, vacuum truck, steam blasting and hydro jetting. It totally depends on the facility and the type of escalator cleaning methods to be used.
