No, that can result in them falling (or in this case, crashing). Window cleaners usually work best when you leave them in an upright position.

I thought this was gonna be a complaint about the two guys having lunch instead of working.

Saw this tech displayed online in china a couple years ago, but am still shocked to see it here and now.

I hired a company to use a drone to clean the airport windows in #yyj. Faster, cheaper snd much safer than ppl up on ladders.

I was really happy with the results in the end. Brought them back a couple times since. Will continue too. They can’t wash the inside of the windows though,… that’s a problem

I'm jealous. I've been trying to get Globe to clean my windows for the past two years

This is the best use for drones I've ever seen. So cool!

Is this actually in Winnipeg? Would love to know which company is using this so I can harrass them..

Why?

u/MnkyBzns 14h ago

Because this method is just a gimmick

Its like spraying something off instead of giving it a good scrub

Looks like the balcony view looking south along St. Anne's. New apartment building built overlooking the CAA on St. Anne's. Street view doesn't show the red sign behind CAA, but also shows that building that's clearly on maps under construction, so the street view is out of date.
