Our Process

From First Call to Clean Results in 4 Simple Steps

Drone-powered commercial cleaning is straightforward. Here’s exactly what happens when you work with AeroWash — from the initial assessment to your documented results.

The 4-Step Process

How Drone Cleaning Works

01

Site Assessment & Proposal

We evaluate your building or facility to determine the right cleaning approach. This includes surface material analysis, soiling assessment, height and access considerations, and environmental factors.

  • • Surface material identification
  • • Soiling type assessment
  • • Airspace and FAA clearance check
  • • Detailed scope and pricing proposal
02

Pre-Flight Planning

Before any drone leaves the ground, our team completes flight path planning, safety briefings, stakeholder notifications, and equipment setup. We coordinate with your facility team to minimize disruption.

  • • Flight path programming
  • • Safety zone establishment
  • • Water supply and solution setup
  • • Pre-flight documentation photos
03

Drone Cleaning Execution

Our FAA-certified pilot deploys the cleaning drone along a programmed flight path. The onboard nozzle system delivers water and cleaning solution at precisely calibrated pressure — matched to your surface material.

  • • Systematic grid-pattern coverage
  • • Real-time adjustments as needed
  • • Multiple passes for heavy soiling
  • • Live video monitoring throughout
04

Documentation & Reporting

After every project you receive a comprehensive service report with before/after photos, aerial footage, and maintenance recommendations. Everything you need for compliance records, tenant communications, or property management files.

  • • Before and after photographs
  • • Aerial video footage
  • • Detailed service report
  • • Maintenance schedule recommendations
Cleaning Methods

Three Methods, One Platform

We match the cleaning method to your surface. Every approach is drone-delivered, eliminating the need for workers at height.

Method Best For Pressure Solution
High-Pressure WashConcrete, precast, parking structures2,000–3,500 PSIWater only or mild detergent
Soft WashGlass, EIFS, stucco, painted surfaces200–800 PSIBiodegradable cleaning agents

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical drone cleaning project take? +
It depends on the surface area and soiling level. Most single-building facade cleanings take 2–6 hours. Solar farm cleaning for 1 MW runs about half a day. We provide exact time estimates during the proposal phase.
Do you need access to our roof or building interior? +
In most cases, no. Our drones operate from ground level. We may need access to water supply and a staging area near the building. For rooftop cleaning, we use the drone to clean the roof surface from above — no roof access needed.
What happens if it rains or is too windy on the scheduled day? +
We monitor weather closely and will reschedule if conditions are unsafe (sustained winds above 25 mph, active precipitation). We provide 24-hour notice of any weather-related rescheduling and prioritize your project for the next available window.
Can drones really clean as well as traditional methods? +
Yes. Our drone-mounted cleaning systems deliver the same water pressure and cleaning solutions used in traditional methods. The difference is delivery: instead of workers on scaffolding, the drone carries the nozzle system along a precise flight path. The result is consistent, documented coverage with zero fall risk.
Do you need FAA approval to fly at our property? +
We handle all FAA requirements. Our pilots hold Part 107 certificates, and we secure any needed airspace authorizations (LAANC waivers) before every flight. You don’t need to do anything — we manage the entire regulatory process.
