Innovations in Soft Washing: How Drones are Changing the Game

Soft washing has long been a trusted method for cleaning surfaces without causing damage. It’s the go-to choice for homeowners and businesses looking to maintain the clean conditions of their properties. But thanks to advancements in technology, soft washing has gotten easier with drone technology. Companies like Drone Clean now offer professional soft washing and drone cleaning services that are both efficient and environmentally friendly. Here, we will explore the innovations in soft washing and how pressure washing drones are revolutionizing the cleaning industry.

The Evolution of Soft washing

Traditional soft wash cleaning relies on low-pressure water combined with cleaning detergents to remove dirt, mold, mildew and more. While effective, it often requires extensive manpower and access equipment, such as ladders and scaffolding, to clean tall or hard-to-reach spaces. These traditional methods can be time-consuming and cost a lot of money. That’s where drone technology comes into play. Drone cleaning is revolutionizing how soft washing is done. With the use of pressure washing drones and window cleaning drones, cleaning services are now safer, faster, and more cost affective.

What is a Pressure Washing Drone

A pressure washing drone is a aerial drone with a water hose attached to it designed for cleaning high surfaces or hard-to-reach locations. These drones can dispense cleaning solutions and water at controlled pressures, making them the go-to for soft washing tasks. Unlike previous soft washing methods, drones can access building facades, roofs, and windows effortlessly, eliminating the need for workers to climb ladders or operate dangerous lifts. This reduces risks and increases operational efficiency.

The Benefits of Drone Cleaning Technology

  1. Enhanced Safety – One of the primary advantages of drone cleaning is improving safety. Cleaning professionals no longer need to scale high surfaces or navigate hard to reach areas, minimizing the risks of accidents.
  2. Lowered Costs – Traditional cleaning methods often involve hiring additional labor, renting equipment, and dedicating long hours to complex projects. With cleaning drones, the process is faster and requires fewer resources, resulting in significant cost savings for both cleaning companies and clients.
  3. Eco-Friendly Cleaning – Modern soft washing drones are designed to use water and detergents efficiently. By targeting specific areas with precision, drones minimize waste during the cleaning process.
  4. Greater Accessibility – From towering skyscrapers to intricate architectural designs, drones can handle even the most challenging places. Their ability to maneuver into tight spaces and operate at various heights makes them a better option.
  5. Time Efficiency – Traditional methods can take hours or even days to clean large buildings. With a pressure washing drone, the same tasks can be completed in a fraction of the time, allowing businesses to resume operations more quickly.

JEFF Robison

Jeff is a successful entrepreneur who is the CEO of Sun Brite Services, Inc. based out of Lawrenceville, GA. Sun Brite was founded in 1992 and is a commercial pressure washing company that completes jobs throughout the southeast. What started with very humble beginnings has grown into a multi million dollar organization that services government, medical, and privately held properties. With a focus on delivering the best quality possible job, efficiency and always doing the right thing for the customer Sun Brite consistently continues to grow. Jeff is a master at marketing and leveraging relationships that benefit both parties. Sun Brite has procured several national contracts with large companies to handle pressure washing projects.

Always looking for ways to become more efficient, Jeff was introduced to the drone cleaning world at a demonstration presented by the other founder Chris Creekmur. Quickly realizing the use of drones in the pressure washing industry could be a great opportunity, Jeff partnered with Chris on several large projects. After many conversations, Jeff and Chris realized there are many companies in a situation where even though they may want to enter the drone cleaning industry or have even purchased a drone but need further training and support. Drone Clean was formed to offer support, training and education to these companies.

Outside of work Jeff has been married for over 25 years, is a father of 3, and a grandfather of 2. In his spare time he likes to work out and has been a national powerlifting champion several times.

Chris Creekmur

Growing up in a family of business owners and entrepreneurs allowed Chris to learn valuable lessons and values about how to properly run a business and ultimately wanted to do it for himself one day. After growing up in restaurants and pursuing a career in the hospitality industry for about 12 years it was time for a change and Chris decided to start working in digital marketing sales and various other small companies before launching his drone business in 2021. Shortly after launching his drone business he discovered Lucid Drone Technologies and sent an inquiry without having any knowledge of the soft washing business and decided to take this massive leap of faith into the unknown.


Quickly realizing the learning curve of soft washing, pressure washing, operations, labor, marketing, and everything in between had to quickly connect with like minded business owners in the industry soon. Chris decided to hold a live demonstration day at a local pressure washing store, Georgia Chemical and that is where fate led Jeff and Chris to meet and the rest became history as the two companies began working together on large scale projects across the Southeast. Jeff and his team bought a drone to complete small scale projects but still insisted on Chris being at the large projects to ensure success and efficiency. Overall our experiences have been positive and left a lasting impression with our newfound clients.


Outside of flying drones, Chris enjoys taking the time to find new local restaurants and travel as often as possible to new destinations and can cook a mean steak!
