Downtown Kansas City’s Most Recognizable Mixed-Use Property.

The Halls at Crown Center is one of downtown Kansas City’s most active commercial destinations — retail, dining, hotel, and a large multi-level parking structure serving thousands of vehicles every day. Years of tire film, oil deposits, and traffic grime had built up across all 600,000 square feet, heaviest on the ramp entries and turn zones.

The ask: clean 600,000 square feet of an active, occupied parking structure — without shutting it down, without disrupting daily operations, and without leaving sections looking partially done. Most contractors quote a full closure or walk away. KC Splash built a plan that did neither.

The video below shows the property management signage posted during the project — “Spray washing in this area. Please park on another level.” That sign is the phased approach in action.

The approach

Phased. Sequenced. No Surprises.

A 4-day phased cleaning plan with section-by-section routing — keeping the garage operational throughout. Clean a section, dry it, reopen it, move to the next. Repeat across 600,000 square feet.

01

Section-by-Section Routing

Each zone cleaned and dried before reopening while the crew moved forward. No section sat closed longer than necessary — the garage stayed functional the entire 4-day run.

02

High-Output Equipment

110 HP pressure washing rig and ride-on scrubber running simultaneously — the combination that makes 600,000 sq ft in 4 days achievable without cutting corners.

03

Drain Mapping + Runoff Control

Drain locations mapped before each phase. Cleaning sequence staged to control runoff movement — no uncontrolled water migration between zones or levels.

04

Off-Hours + Daily Handoffs

Early morning start times minimized peak arrival impact. Daily status handoffs to the property team — no surprises at the end of any phase.

The result

All 600,000 Sq Ft. Night and Day.

Four days. No full closure. Every section — ramps, drive lanes, traction zones, entry points — cleaned and reopened before the project finished. The property team didn’t wait until day four to see results.

“The difference after cleaning was night and day.”

“We hired KC Splash to clean a 600,000+ square-foot, multi-level parking garage in downtown Kansas City, and they absolutely delivered. Large garage projects can get complicated fast, but KC Splash handled everything smoothly — clear communication, efficient crews, and no surprises. The difference after cleaning was night and day. We’ll definitely be using them again.”

What this tells property managers

Scale Isn’t a Reason to Say No.

Washing 600,000 square feet is a parameter that makes most generic exterior cleaning vendors hesitate. Managing the tight logistics of an active downtown transit facility—coordinating ongoing traffic flow, monitoring internal drain layout lines, executing sequential section handoffs, and keeping property stakeholders aligned—requires heavy commercial asset experience.

Our industrial crews maintain the specialized vehicle fleet required to clean immense acreage without triggering massive operational bottlenecks.
