Today, more and more companies are striving to reduce their environmental impact by adopting sustainable practices across all areas of their operations — including building maintenance. Window cleaning is no exception. Choosing an eco-friendly window cleaning solution not only helps preserve natural resources but also reflects a company’s commitment to responsibility and innovation.
At Windo, we’ve reinvented the window cleaning process using drone technology, pure water, and zero chemicals — all while significantly reducing water usage and carbon emissions. The result? A cleaner, safer, smarter, and truly sustainable way to keep your windows spotless.
Why Eco-Friendly Window Cleaning Matters
Traditional window cleaning methods still rely heavily on outdated practices: chemical-heavy
detergents, large amounts of water, diesel-powered lifts, and transport equipment. These
approaches not only harm the environment but are also increasingly out of step with modern
sustainability standards.
When multiplied across high-rise buildings, office towers, and urban spaces, the environmental toll of conventional window cleaning becomes enormous. That’s where eco-friendly window cleaning steps in — a modern, efficient alternative that respects both the planet and your property.
The Environmental Cost of Traditional Window Cleaning
A single floor of a commercial building can require 40 to 60 liters of water for manual window
cleaning. Add to that the use of non-biodegradable cleaning agents, plastic waste, and the CO₂ emissions from vehicle transportation and heavy machinery, and the overall impact becomes clear.
Not to mention the disturbances: traditional setups often involve scaffolding or boom lifts, which are noisy, disruptive, and demand the temporary closure of building areas — all for a task that could be handled more smoothly with the right tools.
The Windo Solution: Smart, Sustainable Window Cleaning with Drones
At Windo, we use a cutting-edge, drone-powered window cleaning system designed for
maximum precision and minimal environmental impact. Our process relies on three core
principles:
1. Zero Chemicals
We use only ultra-purified water — filtered through reverse osmosis — to clean windows
naturally. This ensures a streak-free, spotless finish without leaving any residue or polluting
nearby drains or waterways.
2. Significantly Reduced Water Consumption
With controlled spray systems built into our drones, we use up to 80% less water compared to manual methods. Every drop is used intentionally and efficiently, directed exactly where it’s needed.
3. No Heavy Equipment or Emissions
Our drones are electric, battery-powered, and require no scaffolding, boom lifts, or on-site fuel-powered equipment. That means zero engine noise, minimal logistics, and no unnecessary carbon emissions.
This is more than just window cleaning — it’s maintenance reimagined for a sustainable future.
Window Cleaning That Aligns with Your Sustainability Goals
Choosing eco-friendly window cleaning isn’t just a technical decision — it’s a strategic one.
Companies that are ISO 14001 certified, B Corp certified, or simply committed to environmental responsibility will benefit from:
Reduced water and energy consumption
Elimination of chemical pollutants
Lower noise and air pollution on-site

Clear alignment with internal CSR and ESG strategies
In today’s world, every sustainable choice counts — and window cleaning is no exception.
