Cleaning & Facilities
Drone pressure washing & soft washing
Tethered spray drones washing roofs, walls, signs and tanks.
People ask for this as: “drone soft wash”, “drone roof cleaning”, “pressure washing drone”
How it works
Robots used
- Spray Drone
Ways to buy it
- Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).
- Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
Bot or Not?
A robot makes sense when…
- The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
- It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you will compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human when…
- It is small, low and one-off
- It needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
Here's the catch for this job
- RaaS monthly plans usually include maintenance; compare to purchase over 3-5 years.
- Robots handle open repetitive floor area; budget humans for edges and spot work.
- Ask for a pilot/trial period on your actual floors.
