Abstract
An automated building façade cleaner includes a cleaning module attached to multiple guide cables. The cleaning module can be moved along a height of the building by hoists secured to a top of the building. A cleaning fluid is fed into the cleaning module by a fluid supply module. The liquid is sprayed onto the building from nozzles in the cleaning module. A suction line, connected to a suction module, provides suction within the cleaning module for collecting loose water and dirt produced by the cleaning module. The building façade cleaner may be automated to operate without human interaction.
