Great job!!
Thank you Sir.
Awesome work my friend great message and inspiring. ✌🏽
Yessuh. Thanks brother, how's it looking down south?
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash cold 😰 busy with roof cleanings. A metal roof is on tap today. Hanging out with my 26 year olds for the past month. Enjoying the time together
Shout out to you bud! Lots of attention to detail, hard work! .... wish you were in Tallahassee area...I would be calling you!
Wow, thanks!
Great job Cliff! That one was way overdue.
Thanks. Yes it was, glad she finally did it.
Good job man that place was super dirty. For those people that are down streaming for the back screened in porch. If it’s that dirty you may have to shoot the screen at an angle so your SH sticks in it since you’re only putting out about 2% down streaming good luck guys I am hitting the subscribe button.
Yes that sideway action for applying and rinsing is my method too. I can say downstreaming would of took a lot longer, luckily I got a softwash system 😆 🤣
Love your work! How do you get rid of all those spider eggs/ nest in the pool cage??
The sh dissolves them.
Awesome Job Cliff, I'm starting my pressure washing & softwash business in a month.
Thanks. And welcome to the industry. Let me know if u have any questions
You can count on it.
You are awesome, bro!!! 💯💯💯💯
I appreciate it brother
Post treat was a must. Driveway was line city. Looks 💯
Heck yea it was. 🤪 😆
Good morning! 😇 love and blessings to you
Good morning 🙏🏽 thank you 😊
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash your welcome! Hug.
I need to do this to my pool enclosure. Does anyone know what style patio pavers those are called around the pool? Look's like a type of brick. I really like that and may go with that around my pool.
Woo can very clean brother 💯💯💪💪💪 good job
Yes indeed. Thank you
Pool deck king 💯
Lol yea I got a niche!
Great job
Thanks brother Tony
Amazing work Brother
Thanks my brother 🙏🏽
Awesome job! What is lichen that you mention so much? Also how often and when is the best time to clean these enclosures in south Florida w rain and hurricane season?
Thanks 💪🏾 lichen is that lettuce / mushroom looking fungus. If an enclosure is not covered by trees typically they last about a year. If trees are nearby probably twice a year.
you basically soft washed that pool deck...all it would need is a nice ball valve rinse and its like new money! this is the same concept I was telling you before about concrete....5-6% on concrete, dwell and heavy rinse makes most look brand new in much less time and never have to worry about lines...biggest worry with this process is burning the edges of the grass in which they get heavy rinsed before and after treatment..this is how I do all my annual customers concrete, I only surface clean my first trip if its bad, if its just full of lines from their last pressure washing guy I can come in and soft wash it, heavy rinse and its poppin like new again...plus I get to guarantee there will be no lines returning that when it returns it will be uniform in appearance but when they allow me to take care of it annually they will always have a clean driveway! nice work nevertheless..wash on!
I've only been able to away doing that on maybe 5% of the driveways I clean. When I do come accross it it's magical. That deck wasn't bad really except the low spots. I like how clean it comes out every time.
Another Quality job Cliff. Question? what tip are you using as to not blow out the screen? Keep the Videos Coming
Thanks brother. I just used my DN10 ball valve to rinse and get the leaves off. I control the amount of pressure by adjusting the handle.
Wow! Incredible job. Respectful to property and professionally done. Wish you lived in Orlando.:(
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching
Hey Cliff. Great job and video! Would you mind telling me what you charged for the complete job? Pool cage and deck only. I have a similar job that I have to quote this week in central FL near Disney. Thanks.
Typically start them ato7jf $250 and go up depending on size and filth level.
Hey Cliff these HUK are the bomb and a life saver. It would have been impossible to service this medal roof with my other shoes..what I also learn it’s better to use water only old school super nozzle. Using your mix would have the surface like walking on grease. Because of the metal surface the algae comes off very easily although its time consuming but you have charge for the additional time..thanks again
Yes I love those Boots. No way I'd walk on a metal roof. I dont like how they flex and also the high risk of slipping. Thank God all the ones I've done has been accessible from a ladder. If I gotta walk a metal roof I may pass on it 😆 🤣
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash anything over 200lbs to much weight thanks for sharing
Man, I JUST flew down to Orlando from NJ for my daughter’s cheer competition. Can’t believe how bad a lot of the roofs look down here-the local Walmart’s roof looks black😬. Wish I was able to link up with you bro-maybe next time 🤷🏽♂️. Great work-keep it up👊🏽😎
Oh wow O town is 1hr away from me. Hell yea man maybe next trip
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash No Doubt😎👍🏽
Nice!
Thank you 😀
Love your videos. What are the names of the solutions you’re using?
Thank you. It's called sodium hypochlorite better known as chlorine. But it's diluted down to about a 1-2% instead of the 12.5% it comes in.
Hey Cliff! Another great video, but I did want to ask if your mask filters are rated for Chlorine? Stay safe and keep up the great work!
Hey thanks. Yes of course it Is. The pink cartridges is the go to correct acid vapors and more toxic stuff than SH.
Here's a link for it.
amzn.to/3og0pAn
My Dude!! Get that coin spray that thang. Up in Atlanta today working on a new rig, but heading back that way tonight. Gonna be out in Tampa for Gaspirilla tomorrow.
You're about to freeze to death lol no way I'm going near that water in this cold 🤧 😭 lol 😆
I don't have a softwash system but I use a jrod to lower my psi and or apply SH and rinse. With a 3500 machine
That's fine. I downstream sometimes too. But in cases like this downstream won't do much since it's infected site lichen. Gotta go hotter. I too run a 3500psi 8gpm machine.
Boom…..!!!!! Yeah bro you know what time it is.
Yessuh!!! 💥💪🏾🤙
Where do you get the safety glasses from?
Amazon 😃
How would someone go about making sure their pool enclosure doesn’t get like this? Like what kind of maintenance can someone do and how often? Thanks for this video it was awesome!
Typically cleaning the enclosure once a year keeps it clean especially if the cage is covered by trees like this one.
Pink Flamingo good job on that house greeting from TN. Where do you get your SH from? And any tips on pressure washing in the winter besides making a hotter sauce mix? Some customers salt the driveways now been having a little snow here and there and icing. Will the SH make a negative reaction? And any tips on washing a stained deck without removing the stain just clean?
Hey thanks for the comment. If you're washing below 40 degrees a hotter mix works better cause it reacts faster. I'm in Florida so I have no experience in snowy washing states lol I've never even seen snow 😅 yes washing a stained deck will remove the stain especially if you use SH. I stay away from those cause I don't stain decks. There are some wood cleaners out there you may be able to get away with.
Thank you for your time to answer my question. Love the videos and the good vibes. I recently found your page on TH-cam. Really good information on this channel God bless you 🙏
Just started watching your channel i haven't done any pool area because im scared to get soap in the pools do u have any suggestions and thank u for all the good information your videos are very helpful
Sh is pool chlorine it all the same. So nothing will happen. Also the little bit they gets in a 10k gallon pool u won't even notice it. It will all dissappear.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Thank you
Good job man ...Now the owner has toclean up that garden and get rid of some plants and treas👆👏
Thank you. Yea that was a jungle back there lol
What size tips do you use on that surface cleaner? Another awesome video!
25040 tips 💪🏾🤙 thank you.
Thanks for the video, what is that machine you are using to clean the concrete? Can you rent this at Home Depot or a similar place?
Thank you. That is called a surface cleaner, and yes home depot rents those out. Check around to see within your local stores.
What kind of nozzle are you using to decrease the over spray. The black nozzle spays to wide
I didn't use a black nozzle on this video. Not sure which you're talking about.
Afternoon brother, I was wondering where do you usually get your chemical like the apple blossom? Thank you
I dont use that really. It was given to me. But they have it online.
how do you get pine needles off a screen enclosure that are danging down? Ball valve?
Usually the 0015 tip on the jrod. Ball valve works too but gets you very wet
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash these bad boys were not coming out no matter how hard i tried with other tips. jrod tip did help after i dislodged them.
The only way I was able to get them out was with a turbo nozzle. Did a couple of tests to make sure I wasnt going to damage the screen. No issues!
hey cliff thank s for getting back to me on the plastic gutter bag s . i am watching this vidio saturday morning during the blizzard of 2022 haha l o l
No problem. Stay warm up there lol
What type of chem an mix i have a friends pool that makes the one you did look miner
Chlorine and water
Job well done 👌. Amazing that you respond to every comment 👏. You got a new sub and 👍. Does wetting the plants keep the sh from hurting them?
Yes I appreciate each and every subscriber. Thanks. Yes wetting then before and after helps protect the plants.
What % is ur post treat on the drive way ?
5% I used up what was in the hose since I had to flush my 12v pump anyway
If its bad charge 3 times
more.. great job .. great contrast
Lol definitely! Then get them on a maintenance schedule 🙏🏽
Do you just hit the lichen on the outside of the cage with your 5%? No scrubbing needed?
Nevermind. As I continued to watch the video I got my answer. Lol good job man! How do you price something like this out? Not including the front driveway? Cus I’m 3 hours east of you. Wow that was satisfying. Watching the 5% mix fall down and kill all the algae on the flatwork was amazing.
I start the pool deck/cage jobs at $275 and up.
What's up bro how did you get clients when you first started out
Facebook neighborhood groups, nextdoor app, flyers, and yard signs
Looks good but I would be afraid of finding a snake around that place lol
Mannnnnnnnn especially on the part towards the trees. I was definitely on edge lol
Cliff, I got a question man. My surface cleaner started to leave behind lines. I pre and post, but still got lines. Almost looked like it was etched. I spent 400 dollars on a new 20in BE. Change the tips. I'm at about 25 2600 psi. The lines left behind are nit ad bad, but I still see it. What do you think the issue is. I got a 4gpm. Thanks.
What tips are you running? Should be 25020 tips on there. It shouldn't leave line if it's a new surface cleaner. Are you running it with no restrictions (say like having your downstream injector hooked up)
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash well I took those tips out, because I was at like 4k PSI, I wanted to be under 3k PSI. No, the only think I have attached is a ball valve..DN10.
@@jeremiahjones4224 how are you getting 4k psi ou 50 or even 100ft of hose plus a surface cleaner? That's a lot of restrictions.
need stronger sh mix on your pre and post treat...and sh should be fresh..most 10% at the box stores is downgraded to about 6% now being the winter time they aren't getting fresh stuff....hit that concrete with 5-6% of fresh SH and the lines will go bye bye...also outside temps affect how SH reacts....low temps under 50 almost make the SH act as if it were half its strength
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash well maybe I'm not understanding what you mean by restrictions. I have a 100ft hose, a temp guage right at the pump.
Do I have to bleach or can I use just water
It won't clean up without killing ths algae. You'll be there for hours and also will be relying on pressure to remove the algae mold, lichen and mildew
How much I can estimate for the pool cage and pool deck?
It's gonna depend on your market. Fr9m what I've seen guys charge anywhere from 250-500
What SH/surfactant mix ratio do you use?? Is the surfactant ok for the pool??
I dont recall on this pool cage. I know i disclosed it in the video. But yea surfactant is just soap lol it doesnt do anything to the 8k gallons of chlorinated pool water.
Yeah I just watched the video again you mentioned you wore a mask because you were shooting up 5% SH.
Is that pretty normal for pool enclosures? I thought 5% was only for roofs. Thanks for the reply
@mathusvaiaoga9787 no it's cause it was really filthy and full of lichen.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash nice. What do you usually charge for a pool cage small/med/large?
@mathusvaiaoga9787 that I can't disclose cause my competitors watches these videos.
great job as always… where do u buy your 12.5% sh at? im in daytona beach and can only find 10% in my area.
I get mine from the pool store called pinch a penny thats my to go spot. . And sometimes I get it from a pressure washing supply store here in town.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash i go to pinch a penny to but it’s 10%
@@scottgarvey1469 really? Did you test it or is that what they're selling there?
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash that’s what they told me
@@scottgarvey1469 hmmm that's weird. My branch must be getting it from a different place. I know they're franchised so that could very much be the case.
Are you using your pressure washer to rinse?
Yes I am
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Thank you sir.
Bro I wish I lived in Tampa. I’d love to work with you just to learn more.
👍🤙 thanks for the support
How far North do you guys go?
We've gone as far as Hudson, FL 😃
💪💪💪
Yessuh Mike!
The dirt and chemicals you use from the top are getting into the pool is that hazardous? I have no clue just wondering, thanks.
The chemical thats being used is sodium hypochlorite aka chlorine. Which is the same chemical that's in the pool. 😀😀 so no its not hazardous to the pool. As you can tell the pool isn't dirty when I was done. I keep 95% out of dirty water out of the pools. And the little bit that gets into a 7-8k water in a pool won't even be noticeable cause it'll be diluted.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thanks man wishing you all the success in your business!
@@stephenmcdonald8013 thank you brother
Do you service North Port?
Unfortunately no I don't go that far out.
😢
Great job. That was nasty 👍👍
Lol it was. Thanks brother
Who makes your shirts bro?
My ex teammate does them for me. Hit him up. His name is James Judge. @DaJudgeScreening@outlook.com
Great video how much can we charge a customer for that job just in the pool cage ?
Easily 250-300. Pool cages are time consuming. So many angles to clean.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Okay thank yoy
What is the cost for this work?
Ranges from $250-350 including the deck
Did you regret not blowing the debris off the cage before washing it? Looked like a pain to rinse
Eh not really cause once they're wet it's a wrap pretty much. Lot of that debris doesn't get covered under cleaning but I try to get much as possible off. Screens are annoying anyway cause pine leafs sticks through the cage and that's a pain.
great job on this one i see you keep it up
#MIXONGANG
Appreciate it my boy! #MixonGang
Wow, you did an excellent job. Basically Day And Night. if you were in the Tampa area I would definitely look you up.
Thanks a lot! Ive gotten a few jobs from people in Tampa area seeing this video. same goes for my paver sealing videos.
Not a pool question, but how do you avoid the weep holes on siding on a house so they doesn't leak 🤔
When you're rinsing. Rinse sideways instead of straight on or up. That cause water to get behind the siding that in turn makes the weep holes drain dirty water.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thank you so much!!
How do you clean a pool cage with a salt water pool?
Those would have to be covered prior to cleaning.
@Pink Flamingo Power Wash LLC ok, thank you. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge! Good luck and God Bless!
Have you ever "accidentally" fell into a pool after the job to cool off? 😂
Lol I've wanted to but the time I did slip in it was definitely an accident. Never walk backwards around a pool hahahah
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash I have a lawn care business here in Florida and starting a pressure washing business. I have thought about "falling in" a time or two. Lol. Thanks for all the videos. I am learning a lot.
@@salscavo3110 lol you and me both have thought of that 🤣 some days it's definitely worth it.
Wh
At did u charge?
This was a while ago im not sure exactly how much it was. But most of my 1 story pool cages/decks range from $250-300
Thank you!
WOW that was nasty, what was total time spent on that job?
Took me 2hrs on that job.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks brother B!
So the chemicals won't hurt the pool water?
No sh is chlorine. Chlorine is in the pool lol
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash what about salt water pools?
@@ericgriffin5974 well that's different. I wouldn't use chlorine on a salt water pill. I'd just pass up on the job 👍
Can you please recommend someone who is as good as you in Melbourne Fl?
Sure, What service did you need to be done?
Mainly pool and porch enclosures

🎯💣🔥💯
Thanks Undisputed!!!
what is SH??
Sodium hypochlorite aka chlorine
Do you think it’s possible if you can send me the names of the chemicals that you use?
You can find the chemicals I use on this video
th-cam.com/video/7O5OAfoF70Y/w-d-xo.html
Wouldn't it be advantageous to blow off the driveway first to get off all the debris?
Nope. Cause they're not just dried leaves
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Gotcha! Thanks for the response. Learning more from you everyday! You're a God send to this industry!
Got those who are ignorant about chemicals like I was. Sodium hypochlorite is the chemical name for chlorine. It’s the same stuff you put in your pool to kill algae. Only problem is it does not come in 5% concentrate, 10% is the lowest I’ve seen so I’m assuming you add 50% water to get to the 5%. My question is I have a screen enclosure that has algae really bad and I’m wondering if I can get away with using the 10% without diluting it?
No don't use 10% straight. 1st its going to be more expensive to do a whole cage depending on the size and 2nd that 10% strength will kills all plant life if you aren't careful. Just dilute it down with water
A lot of dirt in that pool
Yea do you see how bad they let it get to? It's unkept cause ppl don't swim in Florida in cold weather months. And the cage hadn't been cleaned in years
I never use soap for them anymore because the rinse is foooorrrrreeeevvvveeerrrrr
Lol big factttttsssss
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash so… i did a pool cage today that made me think of this video.. deck and cage took forevvvvver, 5% multiple times!!! The black was so caked up, the lichen was super crazy. I hate those types of cages.
@@josephbailey7408 I hattttttte lichen lol. I know exactly the black stuff you talking bout.
17k
Right abound the corner!
damn bro, that pool enclosure was really bad. You gotta put her on a rotation.
Lol she was amazed. I'm honna come back for Thanksgiving holiday.
Good jop
Thank you very much
Nice job but a couple things. Slow your surface cleaning to prevent lines. Also, whenever cleaning lanai’s with SH we always rollout a pool cover to prevent chemicals falling into the pool. When applying SH to a lanai, use a soft brush to penetrate the solution and let sit for approximately 20mins to kill all the algae. We also apply a screen sealer to prolong screen strength.
Thanks for watching. Check out my other 100+ pool enclosure cleaning and surface cleaning videos. I appreciate the view/comment. #WashOn
