Being home to more than 500 department stores and about ten large, mega supermalls, the provincial government of Ontario has a team of road sweeping, parking lot flushing, and cleaning service technicians to manage the waste matter and garbage problems and sanitation and cleanliness concerns of the province. To augment these highly experienced teams of parking lot flushing and sweeping professionals, large department stores have their own teams of professionals that flush, sweep, and clean the different public conveyance portions of the establishments, especially those found in the Greater Toronto Area.
Although parking lot flushing and cleaning entails a sizeable budget to work with, majority of these large companies and business establishments, particularly in the GTA, who have a team of technically-proficient parking lot flushing and cleaning vehicles. For some department stores, retail businesses and other similar companies, they make use of third party service suppliers to clean and manage the various waste materials and microscopic debris which are literally scattered all over the establishment's parking areas. These service businesses that offer parking lot flushing have their own fleet of cleaning vehicles with various scrubber-, broom-, and vacuum-attachments in varying configurations and with different solutions.
Aside from parking lot flushing, these service oriented cleaning companies also tender other services such as treatment of waste products and the general management of waste and debris, as well as pressure washing and vacuum cleaning of the concrete pavements of these parking lots. These technological cleaning systems come with state-of-the-art cleaning and disinfectant chemical solutions that successfully break down the different chemical bonds of otherwise environment-damaging metallic particles. The instant these chemical bonds are split up, they are further treated by physical, thermal, and chemical means to get rid of any isolated traces of dangerous and risky chemical reactions, making the resulting molecule relatively safe and secure.
The thermal treatment of the waste matter from the extensive parking lot flushing done by these service companies effectively eliminates the incidence of possible leak into the surrounding environment - the water, air, and land, and perhaps, even humans - of these otherwise dangerous chemicals. By the application of heat, the molecular arrangements of chemicals are completely disorganized which renders them inactive, if not totally useless. Almost all chemical elements cannot withstand extreme temperatures as the different ionic, hydrogen, and polar bonding arrangements are broken down by heat. And with heat comes tremendous pressure which further adds to the destruction of these chemical molecules. The net effect of these thermal treatments is that the resulting gaseous molecule safely interacts with oxygen molecules in the air to form water vapor and other essentially harmless molecules.
The technology involved in parking lot flushing is not only focused in the use of heavy machineries like those bulky and mean-looking machines with outrageously oversized rotating brooms and scrubbers. Majority of the cleaning efficiency can be found in the various solutions used in the spraying of the areas to be scrubbed, cleaned, flushed, and disinfected. Although these chemical solutions are commercially prepared and may be harmful to the environment themselves, newer technology has heralded the use of enzyme-rich solutions that naturally dissolve the various chemical bonds in the waste molecules.
The idea of an effective parking lot flushing is not only in the use of appropriate technology but rather in the appreciation and understanding of how such technological marvels can help cities and establishments in their cleaning activities.
