Revolutionizing Building Maintenance: Soft Washing with Lucid Bots

Written by Lucid Bots | Feb 6, 2024 11:40:45 PM

Commercial buildings are central to the urban landscape, reflecting the identity of businesses and brands. Maintaining the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity of these properties, particularly the cleanliness of exterior walls and interior spaces, is key to making a positive first impression and preserving property value.

Traditional pressure washing, commonly used to remove grime and mildew, is now being outperformed by the soft washing technology of Lucid Bots’ Sherpa Drone.

 

Traditional Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing Innovations

Historically, commercial cleaning, particularly for exterior surfaces of office buildings and commercial properties, relied on high-pressure washing to combat buildup of contaminants. 

However, regular pressure washing, while effective for certain tasks like graffiti removal and cleaning driveways, patios, and parking lots, often falls short due to:

  • Potential damage from high pressure to exterior walls and delicate surfaces.
  • Surface-level cleaning that doesn't address deeper layers of grime and mildew.

Lucid Bots’ Sherpa Drone offers an innovative soft-washing approach:

  • Deep cleaning that targets and breaks down contaminants at their source, providing a more thorough clean.
  • Gentle yet effective cleaning solutions that preserve the integrity of building materials and extend the longevity of the property.

 

Why Opt for Soft Washing in Commercial Buildings?

Soft washing, a method less abrasive than traditional power washing, presents several benefits for commercial properties:

Comprehensive Cleaning

Soft washing, using a combination of low-pressure water and detergents, penetrates deeper than regular pressure washing, effectively removing contaminants and providing long-lasting results.

Property Preservation

High-pressure methods can damage the exterior surfaces of buildings. Soft washing mitigates this risk, making it safer for a variety of materials, including the delicate exteriors of commercial properties.

Enhanced Property Value

A clean and well-maintained property not only improves curb appeal but also increases its market value, making soft washing a smart investment for property owners.

 

Overcoming the Limitations of High-Pressure Washing

While traditional pressure washing has its place, it poses challenges for commercial building maintenance:

  • Difficulty reaching and effectively cleaning high and complex areas, such as upper floors of high-rise buildings.
  • Risk of damage from high-pressure water streams, particularly on older or more delicate buildings.
  • Environmental concerns due to substantial water use and potential chemical runoff in areas like parking garages, dumpsters, and walkways.
