Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling cleaning at least a portion of a building facade (104a). A multi-dimensional map of a facade (104a) is cleaned from an elevator platform (200) of an elevator system is received. According to the map, an ordered sequence of instructions is determined. The instructions comprise robotic arm instructions and elevator platform instructions that are temporally intertwined to execute a cleaning pattern covering at least part of facade (104a). The robotic arm instructions are forwarded to control one or more robotic arms (206) and the elevator platform instructions are forwarded to control the elevation of the elevator platform (200). A corresponding device (221, 213) and non-transient memory (223), and a system having the device, are also disclosed.
