A balcony cleaning plan needs compatible products and a controlled runoff route. Check building rules and the floor's care instructions before washing debris toward an edge or drain.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Surface | Identify coating or decking. |
| Runoff | Check where water actually goes. |
| Access | Keep the dog elsewhere during work. |

A practical example
A drain may discharge somewhere you cannot see, so do not assume every product can be rinsed into it.
Before you decide
Confirm disposal and building requirements before starting.
