WINDOW CLEANING
Drone window cleaning for glass you can't reach.
Drone, rope-access and lift window cleaning for commercial properties. We plan the access and cleaning method around your building.
Flown and logged: Empower Field at Mile HighDenver Performing Arts ComplexUCHealth Memorial Hospital Central
WHY FROM THE AIR
Height is the hard part.
We clean elevated glass by drone, rope access or lift, and use water-fed poles and traditional methods where they fit.
For drone cleaning, the pilot stays on the ground while a tethered hose carries heated, purified water from our rig to the aircraft. The last pass is a spot-free rinse.
Drone window cleaning fits mid-rise and high-rise commercial buildings, curtain walls and glass facades, offices and mixed-use properties, stadiums and venues, hospitals and educational buildings.
HOW A MISSION RUNS
The day we fly your building.
Every site gets its own plan.
PRE-FLIGHT
Assess the site
Before the first flight we check the height, the obstacles and access to water and power, then set a safety perimeter and stage the water filtration.
LIFT-OFF
Water up the tether
A tethered hose carries heated, purified water and cleaning solution from our rig on the ground up to the drone, which sprays the glass from about ten feet away.
THE RINSE
Work the glass
The aircraft works the glass in precise patterns, with FoamStream and adjusted pressure on tough stains like bird droppings, and finishes with a rinse of purified water that dries spot-free.

RESTORATION FIRST
Years of buildup?
If your windows carry heavy mineral staining or years of neglect, drone cleaning alone will not fully restore them. We recommend restoration first, by rope access or traditional methods, and the drone comes back to keep the glass clean.
ONE SCOPE
Every pane, from the roofline to the front door.

IN THE FIELD
Close to the glass.
The aircraft works beside tall window panes and a fixed ladder, with the water hose hanging below it.
TOUGH STAINS
Baked-on bird droppings, off the glass.
Bird droppings and exhaust soot bake onto glass, into buildup that cold water cannot dissolve. On stains like these we bring heated water, adjusted pressure and FoamStream, our own cleaning system, then finish with a purified rinse.
On regularly maintained windows we often need no solution at all: purified water, pressure and heat do the job, and the glass dries streak-free.
Your windows are next in the log.
QUESTIONS
Straight answers, before you call.
How does drone window cleaning work?
A tethered hose carries heated, purified water from our rig on the ground up to the drone, which sprays the glass from about ten feet away, works it in precise patterns and finishes with a purified rinse that dries spot-free. Before the first flight we assess the site and set a safety perimeter; after the landing we inspect the glass and record the results.
Is drone window cleaning safe for the glass and for the people below?
Our window systems run around 900 to 1,500 PSI at the nozzle, sprayed from approximately ten feet away; the pressure that actually reaches the glass is significantly lower and comparable to an automatic car wash. Below the aircraft we mark a safety zone perimeter with caution tape, cones and barricades, put MUTCD standard signage on any sidewalk or street we work near, and station visual observers with the pilot.
How do drones dry windows?
They don't need to. Our filtration system removes the minerals, impurities and debris that leave spots when water dries, so the purified rinse air-dries streak-free, with no squeegee and no residue.
How high can you clean?
Send your building's height and access details with your quote request. A project manager will confirm the cleaning method and the plan for your property.
Do you need roof access, and will you disrupt my tenants?
In most cases roof access is not required. We fly from the ground, which keeps disruption to tenants and building operations to a minimum, and we review the site in advance to settle staging and access.
What happens in wind, cold or sun?
Wind decides the day. Sustained wind of 0 to 10 mph is ideal; 10 to 15 mph is case by case with a limited scope; 15 mph or more, or gusty, is a no-fly, and we build at least one buffer day into the schedule. We never work in direct sunlight, because chemistry drying on glass must be avoided. In winter we work above about 42 degrees Fahrenheit with heated purified water, and we postpone when freezing makes cleaning unsafe or ineffective.
Do you use chemicals, and where does the runoff go?
When a surface needs it, yes: surface-appropriate chemistry with purified water, chosen for the dirt, the material and the conditions. Whenever possible we clean with purified water only, which is how we keep the environmental impact down. On tough stains our FoamStream system clings longer and rinses spotless. Where city or state rules require it, we reclaim and dispose of the wastewater.
Do you clean the inside of the glass too?
Yes. Interior window cleaning is one of our services, and our interior team can work in tandem with the drone, checking the glass from inside and calling out areas that need a touch-up.
