Drone washing technology pioneered at UC Riverside
RIVERSIDE – (INT) - A groundbreaking window-washing project using drone technology is the first on a core campus building at UC Riverside.

Dutch Touch Window Cleaning Company used their advanced technology to perform all the tasks requested in the work orders. Initially, the team expected it would take multiple vendors and technologies to accomplish the job. The drone equipment not only met the requirements but also proved effective for high-rise buildings and challenging surfaces.

The window-cleaning process utilized a specialized van equipped with remote-controlled dispensers for standard water, ultra-pure water, and detergents to tackle significant dirt accumulation. The van could also run two detergents and a mold remediation chemical simultaneously.
