Customer Cursed Me Out

On this episode I had 2 pool enclosures and pool decks to clean. The 1st one wasn't terrible but the 2nd one was one of the worst i've ever cleaned. To be honest it was also the most rudest customers i've encountered. The deck as you can tell wasn't cleaned in over 3 years and it was caked up with heavy algae, mold and mildew. The edges of the pool and jacuzzi was filthy with algae as well. Prior to cleaning, I explained there's no way a pool deck in that shape can be cleaned without getting some dirty water in the pool, which the customer understood and accepted the quote and for me to do the job. When after cleaning everything the customer rudely cursed at me about the pool having dirty water in it. Luckily I had my camera rolling while explaining the process to them.

You handled the situation well. Excellent work Mr Cliff.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Thank you! Cheers!

The deck as you can tell wasn't cleaned in over 3 years and it was caked up with heavy algae, mold and mildew. The edges of the pool and jacuzzi was filthy with algae as well. Prior to cleaning, I explained there's no way a pool deck in that shape can be cleaned without getting some dirty water in the pool, which the customer understood and accepted the quote and for me to do the job. Right after cleaning everything the customer rudely cursed at me about the pool having dirty water in it. Luckily I had my camera rolling while explaining the process to them.

No Footage? An get that MF 💰 Cliff!!!

[@ryanedwards7698]

Do you use an 8gpm? With your super sud soaker injector what percentage do you get

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

@ryanedwards7698 yes I do. I get around.a 2% mix which is plenty for house washing, pool cages and pre treating concrete.

[@ryanedwards7698]

​@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Thank you!! I'm new to 8gpm, used to have a 4gpm and I just switch my jrod tip to go from rinse and soap. But can you do that with 8gpm or do you need a a shut off chemical switch

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

@ryanedwards7698 no you can do it with the tips as well. I like the bypass for what it's intended for and that's to bypass the chemical when it's time to use the surface cleaner. That way I'm not running my surface cleaner through the chemical injector

[@amg_4u]

You the man Pinky. Thanks again for all the help and content. Happy thanksgiving to you and the rest of you followers!

[@amg_4u]

Also, is that a damn ankle weight on your surface cleaner?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

You're welcome. Hope you have a good Thanksgiving as well. Yes that's a 5lb ankle weight to keep the surface cleaner from floating

[@akbuilder7626]

How the hell do these people really expect you to not get anything in the pool????? Crazy.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Some are clueless lol 😆 😂

[@heatherseabrook4837]

That old man need to calm down the pool water was just as nasty as the deck was before you came in. That thing needs drained and start fresh with new water now that you got everything looking amazing. It probably was redirected anger because at the beginning of the video, you can hear the lady yelling at him.🤣🤣🤣

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

It was definitely redirected anger lol 1st when I did the quote I told him I won't move all that furniture that you saw outside so it took him 4 days to move it all. He was already mad at that then his wife got on him for putting stuff in the rain 😆

[@staceysims7669]

Great content chief!

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

My brother. Thank you

[@rickwashek478]

That pool deck came awesome, some people are never happy. Here in PA we don't have pool cages but a lot of pool decks. I get the same thing I don't want any dirt in pool. They don't call to get pool deck cleaned till they have pool opened and water cleared up. I tell them the same thing you going to have some run off in pool.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Facts and its simple as that! Get a pool service after or better yet just run the pool filter!

[@robertclark2935]

Washed in a light drizzle myself yesterday.... but I also broke my First Window,,, I was changing J-rod tips, didn't have it in completely, aimed at the window ,, guess what happened.😪 Expensive window too,, they were so Cool about it, said it's ok accidents happen, they were gonna get it fixed. Still paid me & they were gonna call me this coming up Spring for some fence work. I was embarrassed! And apologized. Im gonna do that Fence work for Free they don't know it yet lol.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Aw man. See I love those customers, nobody is perfect and they understand that. I've shot my Jrod off into a pool once lol I had to go swimming to get it. 🙃

[@antmo3353]

Someone living that dirty gotta expect inappropriate things from. Imagine what inside look like

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no lies told

[@bradbarker8952]

Gotta love when people don't understand the words coming outta your mouth... yes the pool will get dirty from cleaning.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Guess I was Chris Tucker speaking to Jackie Chan in Rush Hour lol

[@randybarlow9587]

Man that was the dirtiest deck ive seen you clean. That pool water didnt look that clean before you started. Awesome job Cliff

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Thanks 👍 exactly 💯 . All they have to do is run their filter if they're concerned. That little bit of dirt will settle at the bottom.

[@johntech75]

That customer was bananas. Excellent work Cliff!

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

You got that right! Lol thanks

[@shawnjolly4717]

People suck theses days.. now i would paint the deck since its clean!

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Yea the algae had been there so long that it ate the paint up.

[@LadyAng]

Imagine thinking no dirty was gonna get in the pool, people be wild. Great job getting that deck cleaned up but that pool was just as filthy inside as out ❤

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I was shocked. To walk in there and see the condition of the area and for the husband to complain was wayyyy beyond me. Especially cause I made it clear during the estimate and on the day of the job.

[@guntrader7462]

That pool deck was really dirty. I knew you could handle it 😅 good work Cliff

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

It was! Lol thanks. Old man chewed me out 😆 🤣

[@Prospective24]

That transformation was great bro & you can explain it to em but you can’t understand it for em

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I like that saying brother. Definitely makes sense.

[@TimeIs_Money]

[@thirdcoasthustle]

great video as always bro 🧈

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Appreciate it

[@dwaynesmither5273]

The customer complained about the pool being dirty. Really. I wouldn’t have ever walked across that nasty deck barefoot. If they watch this video, they can see you rinsing the deck by trying to push the water away from the pool. Great job.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Exactly! That whole deck was a hazard!

[@braydenwurth5959]

Cliff where does the square diamond played battery box come from. Hard to find one for sale

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Amazon

[@CastleWashLLC]

Some people are Cuckoo for Cocoa puffs bro but hella good job on that 2nd deck. On a separate note, did y'all also get like 3 straight days of rain? I'm in Orlando and haven't seen the sun in a few days!

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Yes we did. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Today is Saturday hopefully it slows down.

[@awesomekickertv9064]

🦩🦩🦩🦩

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

🙌💯😂 thanks

[@thirdcoasthustle]

have you ever burnt up an electrical outlet?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Nope. Knock ON WOOD!!! LOL

[@bbim24]

Hey Cliff. I’m curious which orifice you use on the super suds sucker and what size tip you use to soft wash the pool cages ??

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I use the #3 orifice and my jrod for the 8gpm has a 2550 tip and a 2520 tip

[@Dean734]

That was definitely a dirty one some people are just plain ignorant 😮

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Yes indeed. The customer told me that deck was cleaned a year ago lol yea right!!

[@rickybobby5046]

Hey Cliff, I did some concrete work the other day pre-treat and post-treat 2.5%, pressure gauge was set to about 2000 psi, surface cleaner was spinning and the tips are spraying fine but i still had lines. The concrete was aged, I went back over the areas in different directions and a slower speed, also bumped up the post treatment to about 3%… still had lines. Any advice cause I’m stumped.

[@Therinze]

5 percent

[@edmontonlivermoore4935]

Agree with the other guy, sometimes you straight up gotta use a hot mixture on it for those really stubborn lines. Especially if you have a surface that has gone YEARS without cleaning. Throw some 5% on that, maybe even straight SH in a pump sprayer on the really deep spots and just be careful. Cheers mate

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Bingo! The fellas got your question answered 👏 👌 gotta go hotter

[@rickybobby5046]

I appreciate you all. This community is great!!!
