Healthcare exterior cleaning in Fort Lauderdale — who we serve
Across Fort Lauderdale, Florida, StratoClean cleans the exteriors of hospital campuses, medical office plazas, ambulatory surgery centers, urgent care networks, and assisted-living and skilled-nursing communities. Coastal Broward County is hard on a building: salt air and year-round humidity grow algae and biofilm on facades within months, streaking the surface and working against coatings and sealants. We keep these healthcare campuses clean on a schedule, reaching the full height from the ground with a drone and working around patients and staff.

How we clean a healthcare exterior
- Assessment and coordination — drone survey, surface measurement, coating note, and scheduling with facilities and infection-control staff, plus a traffic-control (MOT) plan for entrances.
- Low-pressure soft-wash application — biodegradable, low-odor solution applied at full height from the drone, away from active air intakes. Entrances stay open.
- Dwell and controlled rinse — documented dwell lifts algae and biofilm chemically, then an even rinse.
- Inspection and documentation — before/after imagery and a recommended recurring interval.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is healthcare facility exterior cleaning?
Healthcare facility exterior cleaning is the professional soft washing of the outside of a hospital, medical office building, clinic, surgery center, or senior-living community — the facade, windows, entry canopies, parking structures, and rooftop screens. StratoClean does it with a drone-applied, low-pressure, biodegradable soft wash that lifts algae, mildew, mold, and streaking off the building without high-pressure blasting. Because the drone reaches the full height from the ground, there is no scaffolding, no man-lift, and no window-washing rig hanging over patient entrances — and the work is scheduled around patient and staff activity so the facility keeps operating normally.
What is soft washing, and why is it used on medical buildings?
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method — typically well under 500 PSI, a small fraction of pressure washing — that uses a biodegradable solution to remove algae, mildew, mold, and staining from a building’s exterior. Instead of blasting the surface, it lifts the growth chemically and then rinses it away, which is why it is the method specified for delicate and sensitive surfaces. On a hospital or medical building it is the right choice because it cleans stucco, EIFS, painted concrete, metal panel, and glazing without the high-pressure force that can crack sealant, drive water behind cladding, or damage a coating.
How do you clean the exterior of a hospital or high-rise medical building?
StratoClean cleans the full height of a hospital or medical building from the ground with a soft-wash drone — no scaffolding, no boom lift, no swing stage, and no rope crew hanging over entrances. The drone carries a low-pressure biodegradable solution up the facade, lifts algae, mildew, and staining, and rinses, reaching windows, curtain wall, entry canopies, and parking structures that are otherwise hard to access. Because the reaching is done by drone, the crew stays on the ground and the work is faster and safer than lift-and-rigging methods.
Can you clean a hospital exterior without disrupting patients?
Yes. Because the drone works from the ground, there is no scaffolding erected over entrances, no lift blocking an ambulance bay, and no rope crew outside patient windows. We schedule around the facility — early mornings, weekends, or low-census windows — coordinate with facilities and infection-control staff in advance, and plan the low-pressure, low-odor application away from active air intakes and outdoor patient areas. Entrances, drop-offs, and emergency access stay open and controlled throughout.
What types of healthcare facilities do you clean?
StratoClean cleans the exteriors of hospitals and medical centers, medical office buildings (MOBs) and medical plazas, outpatient clinics and ambulatory surgery centers, urgent care and freestanding emergency departments, dialysis and imaging and infusion centers, senior living of every kind (assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing), behavioral health and rehabilitation facilities, laboratories and life-science buildings, and full multi-building medical campuses including their parking garages. If it is a healthcare building with a tall exterior surface that streaks and is awkward to reach, it is a fit for drone soft wash.
Does soft washing or pressure washing damage a building’s facade, windows, or coatings?
High-pressure washing can — it can crack sealant, force water behind cladding, and abrade or strip a coating, which is why it is the wrong tool for many building materials. Soft washing does not: StratoClean applies a low-pressure biodegradable solution that cleans chemically, dwells for a documented time, and then rinses, with no abrasion and no pressure-driven damage to stucco, EIFS, precast, metal panel, painted concrete, or glazing. It is the facade-safe method, and the same low-pressure approach the industry recommends for cleaning sensitive building envelopes without compromising them.
Is StratoClean insured and credentialed to work on a healthcare campus?
Yes. StratoClean is fully insured, carrying General Liability, Commercial Auto, and Workers’ Compensation coverage, and a Certificate of Insurance naming the facility or health system can be issued on request. We are maintenance-of-traffic (MOT) certified for entrances and drives adjacent to roadways, OSHA-compliant in our ground operations, and our drone work is flown by FAA-licensed commercial pilots. We are set up to onboard through hospital vendor-credentialing and to coordinate with facilities management and infection control before work begins.
How often should a healthcare facility exterior be cleaned?
For coastal South Florida healthcare campuses, most exteriors benefit from a soft wash every 12 to 24 months, with heavily shaded, north-facing, or salt-exposed elevations closer to annually. The longer biofilm sits, the harder it bonds and the more it works against the facade, so a scheduled maintenance interval costs far less over time than waiting until the building looks neglected before an accreditation survey or a community open house. StratoClean offers recurring maintenance agreements that keep a single building or a whole campus on a set cleaning cycle.
How much does healthcare facility exterior cleaning cost?
Cost depends on the building’s height and square footage of cleanable surface, the facade material, the degree of staining, site access and traffic control, and whether the work must be done in off-hours windows. In traditional facade cleaning, most of the cost is access — boom lifts, scaffolding, swing stages, and rope-access crews. StratoClean removes that line item by reaching the full height with a drone from the ground, which is typically faster and more cost-effective than a lift-and-rigging quote. StratoClean provides a free, no-obligation site assessment and written scope before any work, including recurring-contract pricing for multi-building campuses.

Who does healthcare facility exterior cleaning near me?
StratoClean provides healthcare facility exterior cleaning across South Florida — Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Collier counties — for hospitals, medical office buildings, surgery and outpatient centers, dialysis and imaging centers, and senior-living communities. Exterior cleaning on a healthcare campus is best handled by drone soft-wash specialists rather than general pressure washers, because reaching a tall building safely, protecting the facade, and working around patients and infection-control requirements takes the right access method, chemistry, and coordination.
