02. What Terrace Cleaning at Bling Bling covers
The scope of work in Graz at a glance — what the contract says and what actually happens on site.
Artificial grass and click coverings
Infill sand loosened, fibres raised, seams and edge sections cleaned; with click tiles the work is done by lifting them section by section, because moisture and algae persist beneath the tiles.
Planters, substrate and irrigation
Rims of lime and fertiliser salts on planters, saucers, drip lines, substrate residues and the standing areas beneath them. That is exactly where the mark is left behind when a planter is moved after years in one place.
Establish the substrate, then choose the method
Larch, Douglas fir, bangkirai, WPC, concrete slabs, porcelain stoneware, natural stone and clinker tolerate different products and different pressures. The decision is taken on a test area at the side.
Green growth, moss and lichen
Applied, left to act, taken off. Lichens sit with their thallus inside the structure and need time, and usually a second pass rather than more bar.
Timber surfaces by the brushing method
Work is done along the grain with a brush and limited pressure, followed by neutralisation and drying. A wood brightener is used only where the surface is then to be oiled.
Concrete block, slab and joint
Cement haze and efflorescence are treated with acid, with junctions masked off and consideration for the jointing material. Joints that have been washed out are reported and not left behind in silence.
In Graz the large terrace areas are in the hillside locations to the west and north, frequently as terraced housing with several levels above one another, where water has to be routed from the top down and access runs up stairs. The basin location brings fine dust, which combines with moisture into a grey, tightly adhering film on timber and slabs and needs contact time rather than pressure. In the old-town conservation area, requirements for visible building elements come on top for courtyard and roof terraces.
03. Terrace Cleaning: Bling Bling vs. the competition
A terrace is rarely one surface; it is usually four materials within a few square metres: covering, joint, skirting junction and channel, along with furniture and planters that leave marks of their own. The typical damage is not caused by the wrong product but by pressure washing: it tears open timber fibres, flushes out jointing sand and bedding, and opens the cement skin of concrete slabs — and it does not show on the day of the work but the following spring, when the surface goes green again faster than it did before. We lay out a test area, work with the brushing method and contact time rather than with bar, and say beforehand what will remain. After the site inspection we say what work is necessary and what it will cost. In Graz, Bling Bling works with the same core team that knows the building.

06. 10 reasons for Terrace Cleaning from Bling Bling
What a cleaning company has to be measured against — and which of it can be verified.
1In business since 2014
A family firm, not a franchise and not a broker — whoever quotes also carries out the work.
2Registered core team
Permanently employed and properly registered. No chain of subcontractors where nobody is liable at the end.
3The same people every time
The team knows the building, the access and the routines. Cover is arranged and named in advance.
4€3m public liability
Personal injury, property and financial loss covered; the certificate is attached to the quotation.
5RKI/VAH-listed agents, HACCP
Listed agents, trained staff, a cleaning and disinfection plan for each building.
6Multilingual
German, English and five further languages — the briefing gets through.
7No price without a site visit
A flat price over the phone rarely holds. After the visit the framework is set out in writing. A monthly flat rate applies to weekly recurring cleaning; one-off and deep cleans by effort - hourly, per square metre or flat - travel included.
8Dated proof
Record of each visit and photo documentation, reported monthly.
9Assessment only on the dry surface
Wet, every terrace looks equally clean, which is why we look over the surface again once it has dried, and the making good is allowed for.
10Findings to the managing agent where the roof is affected
Anything noticed on the waterproofing, a gully, the parapet or the pedestal supports is passed on in writing with a photograph, before it turns into water damage.

08. Terrace Cleaning for 5 typical situations
The same service looks different depending on the occasion — these five situations come up most often.
Rust, grease and wine marks from the summer
Barbecue grease, rust from a pot and spilt drinks are individual marks and each needs its own product.
After flowering and the pollen season
Pollen, lime honeydew and drops of resin form a sticky film on the covering, the furniture and the awning fabric which binds dust and needs surfactant with contact time.
Leaves in the drainage of a roof terrace
In autumn, leaves block roof gullies, emergency overflows and the spaces between pedestal supports — that is cleared and documented before the first spell of persistent rain.
Before putting things away for winter
Furniture, awning fabric, barbecue and planters are cleaned and stored dry, gullies are checked, and water lines are reported to the owner as a point to note.
Handover of a new-build flat with a terrace
At handover there is cement haze, silicone shadowing, film residue and screed dust on covering, glass and sheet metal — with a record and a photographic record for the developer.
★ Worth knowing
What is often misjudged about Terrace Cleaning
Said up front, on the facts — not after the invoice.
Algae and moss come back if the cause stays
Green growth is a biofilm of algae, mosses, fungi and lichens, and it grows where moisture, shade and nutrients come together — a north side, a tree canopy above, a blocked gully, a covering that does not dry out. A product against growth needs several hours to days and dry weather, otherwise it is washed off, and even then the surface stays clear only for as long as the conditions do not suit again. It also matters where the wash water runs: it does not belong in the border and not in the rainwater drain but along the agreed route — we settle that before the work.
Awning fabric loses its finish, not its colour
Solution-dyed acrylic fabric is colour-stable, but its water repellency comes from a finish on the surface: brushes, pressure washing, alkaline cleaners and chlorine wear it away, and after that the fabric absorbs, rims remain, and mildew spots form in the rolled-up awning. What is right is mild, neutral cleaning with contact time, thorough rinsing and complete drying before it is retracted, with the finish renewed where needed. Marks along seams and mildew spots that are already in the weave will not come out again — we say that beforehand instead of explaining it afterwards.
Grey timber is not dirt but broken-down lignin
The silver-grey layer on larch or bangkirai is caused by UV radiation, which breaks down the lignin in the topmost tenth of a millimetre; water and surfactant will not take that away. It needs a brightener based on oxalic acid or hydrogen peroxide, with neutralisation afterwards. Pressure washing achieves the same thing visually but tears out the soft early wood: the surface becomes rough, raises fibres, takes up more water and is grey and green again more quickly in the following season. That is why brushing is done along the grain, with limited pressure, and the greying is removed chemically only where the surface is then to be oiled.

●. Frequently asked questions about Terrace Cleaning in Graz
What does Terrace Cleaning cost?
There is no price before the site visit, and a figure given over the phone rarely holds. We look at surfaces, access and time windows, and then the cost framework is set out in writing with a schedule of services. What changes the price: the area, the frequency, the condition at handover and the time of day the work is done. Two rules apply everywhere: a monthly flat rate is only offered for recurring cleaning at least once a week, including stairwells. One-off jobs, first cleans and deep cleans are billed by effort - depending on the service by the hour at a higher rate, by square metre or as a flat price - and travel time there and back counts.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes, free of charge and without obligation. It is the only way to quote seriously, so we treat it as part of the offer, not as a service to be paid for.
Does the same person come every time?
Yes. The team is permanently employed and knows the building, the access arrangements and the routines. Cover is arranged in advance and named, and it works from the building log, not from a verbal handover.
Is your staff properly registered?
All of them, with social insurance. No chain of subcontractors in which nobody is liable at the end. Proof is provided on request.
What insurance is in place?
Public liability of €3m, covering personal injury, property damage and financial loss. The certificate is attached to the quotation.
What happens if something is not right?
It is put right within 48 hours, in writing, at no extra cost. Measured against the schedule of services and a joint inspection, not against an impression.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes — early, late, at weekends or on public holidays. In occupied buildings, daytime cleaning in sections is often the better option, because the client sees the work and can raise anything immediately.
Do I have to provide materials or a room?
Materials and equipment we bring. What helps is a lockable store with a slop sink, space for the trolley and somewhere for pads to dry — damp pads in a closed bag are the most common source of smell in an otherwise clean building.
What notice period applies?
The contract is terminable monthly. There is no minimum term and no automatic extension by the year.
Do you also work in English?
Yes — German, English and five further languages. The briefing gets through, which matters more on site than it sounds.
Which documents do I get?
A schedule of services with frequencies, a dated record of each visit, photo documentation before and after, and a monthly report.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within a few working days of the quotation being accepted. Short-notice jobs are most readily possible in Vienna, because travel times within a district are short.
