LOUISVILLE, Ky. — On Wednesday, a power-washing drone gave the KFC Yum! Center in downtown Louisville the most precise and thorough cleaning its ever had.

Aeras, a leader in drone-powered cleaning solutions, partnered with the Yum! Center to leave it cleaner than it's ever been, using state-of-the-art drone technology.

You can watch the process below:

“We are thrilled to introduce this innovative cleaning technology to the KFC Yum! Center,” said ASM Global General Manager Eric Granger. “This project not only highlights our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness but also demonstrates our dedication to adopting cutting-edge solutions to enhance the venue’s appearance and functionality.”

This is the first time the entirety of the venue's exterior has been cleaned since it opened in October 2010, according to a Yum! Center news release. Until now, the arena has been cleaned using more traditional methods that don't get every square-inch.

A drone can reach high and hard-to-access areas of the building to thoroughly clean the space. By using a drone equipped with specialized cleaning equipment, the Yum! Center benefitted from the most precise, efficient cleaning job its ever had.
