That Awning cleaning vid was just what I needed. Nice work Cliff all of those jobs came out great man!
Thank you brother
That awning came out 🔥! Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ job!
Yea one of my favorites
You’re killing it man. Awesome.
I'm trying to brother. Thank you.
Another great video!!! Really like it when you give details on what you are doing, like your mix ratio and what steps you are taking to get best results!
I appreciate it 🙏🏽
Appreciate your video I have an awning job today
Glad I could help
Great job on the awning! I have been in the business for about 5yrs and I really enjoy your videos!
Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate you checking out the content.
Excellent, specific details are very helpful for those still learning. Appreciate the knowledge share. David in KY
Glad you enjoyed it!
Howdy high from Elkhorn Wi. Waiting on Monday to deliver. Thank you for sharing and feeding my addiction.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lol thanks my man. No problem
Great work. Don’t stop grinding.
Yessuh!! I appreciate it 🙏🏽
Hey great video, what brush did you use to agitate the aglae?
Just a soft brush
Do you mind sharing what is in your mix to clean the awnings?? Thanks for sharing
It's just SH and water. With minimal surfactant so it's easier to rinse.
Got it already! Thabks excellent job!
Thank you 😊
On time was about too approach a business about cleaning there's but I was going to try and downstream it lol thank you for this video Pink Flamingo 🦩💯💯
You're welcome. Go get that 💰
Great work sir
Thanks
Hey, that is a very well shot video. Lov the background music, I have been cleaning carpet and upholstery for 33 years, and I just don't make enough money. I have a carpet cleaning company called Mighty Clean carpet cleaning- Cincinnati oh, and thinking about cleaning awnings too. I am by myself and do all jobs. Can you suggest what solution to use.
Hey thanks for watching. I used SH l. Started with a weak mix then moved up to a 5% mix of sh.
Awesome man!
I just got a awnings cleaning for a lawyer. They are red. I am concerned with using sh on them but i think its a must. Do you think a 50/50 mix will be to hot? Worried of discoloration of course.
Start with downstream then move up. They're polyester so they won't turn. Do a test spot if needed
Great video! Ever ran into a awning that stained from sh ? And where can I get some custom shirts like yours made? Keep grinding!
No i have not. I wish i never do lol and James Judge makes my shirts. Email him at Dajudgescreening@outlook.com
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thanks! I've been getting mine from zazzle but the sh stains them and it's starting to add up.
Hey bro I’ve been watching your videos for some time and you’re one of my favorites out there!
Question do you have the same approach with fabric umbrellas? I always thought SH destroyed and undye the fabric
Thanks!
What fabric? If it's cloth I wouldn't but polyester material yes I would
Nice job man. Looked great.
Thank you brother
Cliff, one of the best traffic film removers I've ever used can be purchased at O'Reilly's by Superior Products called Dark Fury. On auto applications, it peels road film off at 4:1 after just 30-45 seconds of dwell time. Pulls brake dust off rims without any agitation too. Just don't let it dry! If ya have any trouble spots, give it a shot. Works well!
Oh snap! Definitely will look into that. Thank you brother.
Money first and catch the late games. Awesome 🤩 advice
Heck yea. For 1k day I'll miss them lol.
Strong work 💪🏻
Thanks a lot my brother.
What was your final percentage of sh used? Looks amazing! your channel is the only one that's real boots on the ground. I'm learning alot I work out of Naples, ft Myers area!!
Ended up using a 5% it works fast and great. Just rinse alot!
Your awesome thank you!!! Keep it coming with more vids please
Thank you very much for watching
Impressive job. Awesome
Thank you Mr. Chacon
Another excellent video... Did you use a different mix between fence and siding?
Yes around 2-3%
Great job
Thank you.
Awesome job bro 💯💯💪💪💪
Thank you 😊
Wow brilliant...well done 🏴
Thank you 😀
Good job!
Thank you 💪🏽🙏🏽
Great Video Clift like always. Quick Question I have to do a quote on awning but don't have any idea how much to charge I am in the Orlando fl can you give some advice thanks men Blessing for you and Family 🙏🙏🙏
Typically for awnings I charge by minimum hourly charge and figure out how many hours it will take to clean it.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Thank you to your Channel has help me get jobs do good and put food on the table for my family you have no idea how great full 🙏🙏 I am thanks again and may these be ya great Year for you brother
Great video bro, I'm cleaning a spray down car wash, this weekend. What do you suggest to use, to clean the walls with inside the bays?? A few of them have alot of grease and grime on the walls.
Kleen wall from kleen rite but its very very toxic. You damn near need a full suit cause that stiff will burn your skin right off. They have an alternative product as well but I can't think of the name. Give them a call. If you get the kleen wall it's expensive cause it comes freight. The other stuff doesn't not.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash and I was trying to tell the customer that I was going to have use something very toxic, or use the products that I've been using, and get them as clean as possible, without damaging the walls, by cracking, or blowing the studs out that holds the walk covers up🤷🏾♂️
@@chrispoellnitz1047 yea man toxic stuff! But it's all soft washing no pressure needed with that stuff. Dwell time is short too.
Maybe dawn soap? 🤷♂️
What kind of solution would you use on a slightly nicotined canvas expedition tent? I get the light work method....?
Thanks, great video!
Never done that but 2 ways it can be done. 1. Laundry soap, water and a brush. Or chemical approach you could try some white vinegar and water. Or try Trisodium phosphate (TSP) and water. Odds are if you don't have a decent pressure washer you will have to agitate it with a brush rinse and repeat.
Thanks for the reply......thinking of solutions to the inside and pressure wash from outside in? :) cheers
Maybe pressure wash both sides 🤔 gently. Dealing with a 8ply maybe 10 cotton canvas.
Have a great day
Yes soft wash. I wouldn't put pressure on it, let the cleaning solution do the work for you then rinse it off with a low pressure nozzle (black nozzle)
Great job boss 👏
Many many thanks
Great job on the awning! What percent SH did you have to bump up to?
Thanks. Up to see 5%
Great work. I was wondering can you do that with a 4gpm pressure washer and Mx5 twist nozzle ????? Building from the ground in South Georgia
Yea you can do it with an M5 for sure. But remember downstream will not always work on that thick algae so a stronger mix may be needed like you see in my video.
Bro i have 2 navy blue awnings to do. I was nervous that the SH would bleach out color. That’s not the case i guess?! Any help is appreciated. As always that’s for your videos brother💪🏽
Welp you see the video and explanation and outcome 😃😃
Yes i see it. Lmao. Thanks man. Have a great weekend bro.
@PRO CLEAN SOFT WASH LLC you too my brother
What are you using for a tip with your ball valve?
No tip just the male plug is on the ball valve.
great video, did you use SH? I thought SH dis colours fabrics?
Yes I did. I gave out the percentages that I used in the video.
hey big guy it s blue sky window cleaning when you say 2% or 5% don t want to sound not sure how much is that in once or gallons .ive a few chances to clean awining s but not sure what chemical s to use .nice vidio s for a sunday afternoon al g be safe big guy
I did how to break it down like that cause I'm doing my mixing with a proportioner. But to get your percentage look through my videos there a spreadsheet to breaks the percentage down.
Awnings can be nerve racking. I been doing a bunch recently and am looking into sealing them…have you ever sealed an awning?
no idk about that process at all
Thanks for the tips
Youre very welcome. I played football with beast player named Munir Muwwakkill down in Lakeland FL when I played Arena Football.
Did you need to brush after applying the 5% mix?
I did agitate it some to get some of that stubborn stuff to loosen off.
Haven't done any awnings yet but after this I'm going to . I've stayed away from for fear the SH would do what it does to normal fabric. Have you ever had a issue with it bleaching it out ?
Nope never bleached one out. Don't go too strong
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash I know your in Florida and I'm in the north west side ( destin ) I was wondering if you could give me an idea of how to charge for rust stain removal off vinyl siding ? Its actually really bad . If I could sent you a picture I would . The side is one story and about 50ft long . I would say 75% of it is covered in rust stains.
@@timmclaughlin2108 can't tell you exactly what to charge cause I'm in a different market. But for rust removal I start at $100 and go up depending on how bad it is. The reason being that it's a specialty service ans not just pressure washing.
Hey bro, great work! U always do!
What do u use on painted sidings, sometimes the SH leaves streaking and bleach staining. Thats my main concern! Appreciate it! Keep washing bro!!!
I downstream painted buildings all the time i never have streaks. Just pre wet, apply mix , rinse really well
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash
Thanks brother
I mean in painted wooden sidings, coz some paint gets bleach stains some
Not! Just heads wanted have an idea! 😃
@@swarnimgurung7207 yea that Sherwin Williams blue paint is one of the main one that has issues
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash so what do u do with that?
Any problems using surfactant near a pool? The few jobs I've done like this, I don't use any at all.
Soap? No there's nothing it can do to a pool. Pools have thousands of gallons of chlorinated water you would to dump a whole lot of gallons in it to make difference. That goes for sealer, dirty water, etc...
Do you have a build spec on your angled softwash gun? Tia!
Yes it's on this video th-cam.com/video/hSJyZNBVGPg/w-d-xo.html
Big Bruh, when you finish doing a job, do U every surprise yourself just how good you done?? 😂 😂
Man that awning looks good!!! 👍🏽
Lol I'm very judgemental of my work so I'm there forever lol
How much do you charge per square foot? Trying to start my own business and looking for input on the market. Thank you great videos!
A lot goes into it. Houses .15-20c, roofs .20-25c , paver sealing $1-2
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash the dirtier the more, and if the taller the house, For roof same concept and type of roof comes into play I guess?
Yes exactly 💯
Excellent!
Many thanks!
What temp water did you use
Just regular water out of the spigot. No heat is needed.
Did you ever come out with a marketing video? Just getting started and would be super helpful!
Not strictly but I gave out my 4 easy marketing tips. It's on my videos if you look you should spot it. Video is called slinging hot sauce / My 4 easy marketing strategies
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Also wanted to ask you about fence cleaning. What is the ratio that you mix your oxalic acid? Is it 1 lb per 2 gallons?
@@trentverdin9921 about 12-16 ounces per gallon. Give or take
When you say 2% mix how do you mix. The ratio. I’m starting to get into the biz
Sh comes in 10 and 12.5% that's too strong to be spraying on surfaces like awnings. So you gotta add water t9 bring the strength down. A little math to it.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash yea I’m trying to learn the math part of it. Like 50/50 is hot correct? Not using a system pump, just the PW. So like a gallon bleach and 4gallon water, what % would that be
@@garynewsome674 50/50 would be hot yes. If you're using a downstream injector to apply the sh with your pressure washer then you'll only get around a 1-1.25% if you downstream the sh straight. (10% or 12.5% sh)
Awesome Content. Keep it up! This is Jr with Bluejay Pressure Washing out here in Texas! The weather is finally getting a little chilly. How bout yall?
Hey brother. It's nice here we had a cool 55 degrees this morning. Almost broke out the good ol snowboots and race car jacket 😄😄😄😄 jk
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash haha. Yeah its been like in the 70s over here. Im sure the 60s over night. Max we are getting currently is like 80s which is still alot better than the 90s or 100s haha. Ima have to bust out the carheart jackets and Gloves. 😂😆😆
@@bluejaypressurewashing6979 yea it doesn't last were at 84° right now.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Awesome brother! Love this weather! I miss it haha!
👍do you have a link to your 1/2 inch orange hose?
Not anymore. Ive had it for 4 years. Its 1/2 inch Ag hose though.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thank you brother for your response... means a lot. 🙏
Wear a respirator my dude! Awesome job on the awning
I try my best to wear them. I really wear it when doing roofs or when spraying 5%
Your mitm surface cleaner can handle 8gpm.?? Or did you change the tip
Yes I have the 25045 tips on there works just fine.
When you say 2%, are you purchasing With 2% already SH or are you mixing it to be 2%?
I'm mixing it to 2% sh doesn't come in 2% it only comes in 10% or 12.5%
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash just starting off and I got an awning to clean soon. Figuring out how much to charge. But can you explain a bit of how you get it to 2% or 5%? And which brand you use as well
@@zaur2010 good luck my brother. If you got the 10% sh just mix it half and half in whatever you're mixing it in. Half water half water will get it to 5%
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash appreciate the love man. Might be moving to Miami from milwaukee and continuing the painting/pressure washing there. If its not too much can you tell me the products you use for concrete/vinyl/ or especially for that awning?
@@zaur2010 ok welcome to the state of Florida. I told you what I use for the awning and percentage. SH brother sodium hypochlorite. That works for any mold mildew and algae
What did you charge for the awning job?
I went with $2 a sq ft on this one.
How do you know what percentage to use how you measure?
That comes with experience. I use a proportioner system to dial in the ratio I want on my soft wash system
How much does a job like last one cost?
Depends on your market and your business. Some people charge between $65-175.
Make that paper brother 💯💪🏽🇵🇷🇺🇸
Thank you
What’s your pricing process on something like this?
I just give them a price on value (that way if It takes me 2hrs I'm still profitable)
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash make sense thanks bro.. You part of the reason I started king💪🏽
How much did you charge for that I've got one I'm looking at right now
There's 3 jobs on this video which job?
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash sorry bud the awning job
Also what is my cheapest way to be able to soft wash a roof what would I need to add to my pressure washer thanks in advance I learned so much from all your videos keep them coming
@@thomascarter2488 you can apply SH with a pump up sprayer, man. It sucks but it works if you're low on funds at the start.
Hey what’s the chemical you use to wash?
Sodium hypochlorite better known as chlorine
Whats up man!? Any chance you upsold the patio!? 😂😂
She didn't want it lol she says it adds character🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. I definitely tried to
What kinda solution do u use
All explained in the video my brother.
Sup Cliff, will the SH or % hurt or damage any of those outdoor fabrics that I should be aware of?
That curtin came out lovely 100%
Pretty much all of them are bleach safe. Just keep them wet and start with a weaker mix and work up like I did
How much do you charge for awning cleaning?
Varies. Depends on the size of the awning. Prices varies for each one
What is sh? I will be cleaning my awning and pressure Washing my house but don't see what products to use. Please help
Sh is pool chlorine. But please not the dilution rate I'm using it at on the video. Don't go spraying chlorine full strength on no awning lol
Get it done. 😇
Thank ya
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash welcome 😀
Try and get yourself a Gardiner SLX water fed pole carbon fiber a 18 or 27 footer very stiff and light you can buy goose necks for this to help with inclines and getting over obstacles etc ., There are many brushes available... . Many professional window cleaners have these... well worth the investment ! Step ladders also would hav helped here to get up and above what your working on .. Above all regardless what any one says you have got the number 1 ingredient and that is your concientiuous and want to do a professional job.. And you do just that.. adding upgrades and better tools will make you even better that what you are .
I would get that if I was into window cleaning unfortunately thats not something im interested in at all honestly. I know about waterfed poles and DI Tanks which I know theres a market for also cleaning solar panels. Thanks for the suggestion my brother.
Cliff i need ya help BAD !!!! How do you clean a blue vinyl awning what has a black soot type of dust/ dirt on it? I tried 2%sh all the was up to 6% sh with low to high pressure NOTHING working it gets lighter but not clean, but if i rub my fingers acrosss it it comes off some more, i spent 7 hours on this 40 foot awning & it looks like i did the bare minimum & my customer could never be happy about this, im not happy with the results to the point its embarrassing
Wow sounds like you probably got an old or fading awning. If I came accross that I would test some LA's totally awesome on it, if not, I would test some degreaser on a little spot.
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash client was understanding with the notion that it might need scrubbed with a harsher chemical or a degreaser & he's choosing to just paint it, in his opinion he rather not pay to have it cleaned and damaged, building sits right off a highway and we both believe it's actually exhaust smoke stains from all the vehicles that drive but especially since it's like a oil once wet and only smears off can't be brushed , spyayed off at all only soap and a rag makes any progress and it's not a good process to say the least! But thanx for reaching out , your 1 of the only people I knew to ask
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash I was paid in full and offered a 50,000 sq foot building . By far, my biggest job so far , honestly a little intimidating, to say the least , hope to knock it out in 2 days or 1 long day, it's not that dirty at all. Thanks for all the videos and answering my thousands of questions I've asked you over the past 2 years , with out your help I'm not sure if I'd be doing this at all
@TROUBLEDAGREAT you got this. I did my 1st commercial building 55k sq ft. It took me 12hrs with My little 4gpm but it boosted my confidence. Thanks for sharing.
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thanx appreciate the motivation!!!! Yea I got a 4gpm so I know at least a whole day to do it!
What kind of chemical are you using to clean these ?
Sodium hypochlorite better known as chlorine. But at a low concentration
No worries about ruining the ceiling fans?
Don't spray at them. I definitely take precautions to not damage anything at any property I service.
1:54 Forgot that… set a little ladder up and drop that surface cleaner right on top of that bad boy! Lol
🤣🤣
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you
What percentage of sh did you use on the house and driveway
Just a 3% mix on both.
The SH doesn't fade the color???
😒😒😒 No! If you do it correctly Like I showed. I wouldn't risk my business reputation on doing things that will damage the costumers property. I'm a professional 1st and foremost
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash good man
@@scottpratson7766 🙏🏽💯
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash i wonder if there's money to be made dyeing awnings????
@@scottpratson7766 Id say check into doing a couple in your market to see if its worth it.

Thanks.
Enjoy watching your videos but I have to keep my finger on the volumn button due to the music and your voice being at different levels. Hope the feedback is helpful
At this point idk what's the issue. 🤷🏾♂️ when I'm far from the camera yall can't hear me so I boost that part up. I don't boost the music though.
Ha... you got same brush I got. Works great I like mine. Hey you fade yourself out too much and boost music too loud. Can't here you very good some times. Music is cool but need to here you more.
Usually you can hear when I turn my face to the camera when talking. I'll double back and check the volumes to see when it's happening.
Has to be frustrating when the dirt not coming out
Yea but we always do our best.
🎯🤘🏿🔥💯
✌✌✊🏾
Do you clean it with sh ?
Yes I described the whole process
music was to loud was hard to hear you in some parts of video
Welp this is an old video nothing I can do now lol. Thanks for checking it out.
You guys don't wear a mask? Seems like a lot of mist...
Yes actually do. If you look through the 100+ plus videos you'll see others where I'm wearing a mask.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Ok, why sometimes you do and other times you don't?
Does the mist affect your skin over time?👀
Thanks for replying...👍✨
@@vcash1112 I've only been washing for 2 years my skin is fine. When I spray 5% mix or higher I wear a mask especially for roof cleaning. House washing mix is only 1-2% so no I don't wear a mask personally for that. Can't speak for other ppl
That first sentence made me think you were talking a different language 😂(non native English speaker)
