Cleaning specialists Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG donated its services in the "green cleaning" of the Space Needle. The ecologically-friendly cleaning method was first developed to clean Mount Rushmore in 2005. Kärcher regularly donates its services in the cleaning of monuments and landmarks, both as a goodwill gesture and to receive feedback from workers, officials and scientists involved in the cleaning process. The German-based company's first high-profile cleaning project was the Statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro in 1980. In 1985, Kärcher worked with the restoration team at the Statue of Liberty to clean the granite base of the statue with high-pressure washers.
This is a gallery of pictures taken during the nighttime pressure washing procedure on the Space Needle.
