Time-Lapse Dome Cleaning for Club Pickle & Padel
Even new domes need cleaning. Two weeks before grand opening, this air-supported structure had heavy mud staining from a messy site. We pivoted methods, geared up with a 120' boom lift, and delivered a huge curb-appeal win—fast.

Method Pivot: From “Normal” to “Necessary”
Our usual dome process is a microbial treatment followed by a high-volume, low-pressure hot-water rinse. But with mud caked across the exterior, we ran a pre-site inspection and demo and chose a different route:
1) Pre-site inspection & demo to establish the safest effective method.
2) Multi-purpose cleaner applied for dwell time to break down mud and grime.
3) Hand-brushing across reachable areas to agitate and lift bonded soils.
4) Hot-water, low-pressure rinse to finish cleanly without stressing the membrane.
5) 120' boom lift operations to reach the front section as high as safely possible.
Results You Can See (Fast)
With a short runway to opening day, the front section transformation delivered the wow factor management wanted—bright, even surfaces that read clean from the parking lot to the street. We’re now exploring access options to address the remaining top-front area to a perfect 10/10.
