It contains a small water tank and a filtration mechanism to recycle the water used in the washing process, and a group of fans provides the necessary propulsion to make the device, and then the cloth, adhere to the facade of the building. The device also contains a lifting mechanism that provides vertical movement for it, and the device is controlled by an operator. On the floor.
