How To Wash A Metal Roof

today we are doing something that's a rarity on the channel! today we are cleaning a metal roof! I had My boy Hasheem come through to help me out with his air soft wash system. I got this lead from Blair Taylor from the Gutter Company and this was a new home owner that is going to get new gutters. we used a 3% mix of sh to clean the roof and it all came out great.

[@jamiegarcia6559]

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Glad you enjoyed it

That is I nice trailer setup he had. Great job

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Super stacked!

[@roman0835]

That came out nice! But nope, no roofs for me 😂 glad the truck is back in service 🙌

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

😃😃😃🤣🤣🤣 that customer wanted me and me only. I kept denying it but he wanted me to do it 😆

[@roman0835]

@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash lol 😆 that speaks volumes! You got it done!

[@tomalley798]

We use a Lafferty Foamer Nozzle. Sticks the hot sauce to roofs pretty well, and just let the bubbles pop and do its work.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Awesome deal 👌 thanks for sharing

[@hjmofo]

👍🍻 Really enjoying the content as always Cliff and I'm learning a ton. Are there any types of metal roofs or metals in general that you want to avoid cleaning with sh?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Yes. Copper roofs are a no go! They will turn black from the sh. Definitely avoid those

[@OldMateHowie]

Awesome job man! You know how much SH you used on that job out of curiosity?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Not a lot since it was 3% probably around 20 gallons for the entire job.

Hey there, I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the satisfying videos you create showcasing your roof cleaning techniques. As a 21-year-old from South Africa, I have been diligently researching safe and effective methods for cleaning roofs without causing harm or damage. After much exploration, I am thrilled to have finally discovered the right approach to achieve this. Your videos have been inspiring and informative in my journey towards finding the best practices for roof cleaning. I am particularly impressed by the results your cleaning solution delivers and would like to inquire where I can obtain a similar product. Could you please provide me with information on where I can purchase the cleaning solution that works as effectively as yours? Thank you for your time and for sharing your expertise through your videos. I look forward to hearing from you and potentially incorporating your recommended cleaning solution into my roof cleaning process.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Hey thanks for the support and watching the videos. Glad they're helping you out. The chemical that cleans the roof is pool chlorine mixed with water.

[@minenhlendlovu9719]

@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thank you

[@zackward5516]

I did 4 last year the key is to keep it wet DO NOT let it dry and you will be good .

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Yep that is true

[@jerrymeyers2075]

Cliff what's the difference between a air diaphragm pump and a gas roof pump? Do you need a compressor to run the AD pump?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Yea you need an air compressor to run the air diaphragm pump. That's exactly the difference

[@raindropcleaners]

Looks good! Tell those folks to get a pro window cleaning on the outside. Spraying well water all of those windows is gonna dry alot of hard stains on them. Be better to get them off now then down the road.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

They'll be okay. They can get that when they're done painting the house

[@randybarlow9587]

Nice work. I did my last metal roof last year no more for me. For the new guys never ever ever ever ever walk on a metal roof while cleanin.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Yea its a rarity. I tried to decline this one lol the owner was just really interested in me doing it. He just wanted it to be a little better. I haven't done a metal roof in ages , I've been declining them a lot.

[@tylerdurhan346]

Why is that, the no walking on a metal roof?

[@jaredscott547]

Hey Cliff, was that a galvanized roof?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Absolutely not

What's the hose setup? I know what gun that is but that hoe have a 3/8 duick connection with a built in swivel or what is that?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

3/4 hose. The gun has a 3/4 outlet too

[@erikservices]

You can do that yourself down streaming with the super suds sucker. I do it all day long

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Didn't wanna risk it. Plus I didn't have my truck. Makes for good content

[@nextdoorpowerwashing8340]

Strong work my man!

[@jbl8541]

Whoa I'd be scared that would be Sherwin Williams paint that fades... another good one Mr.Cliff

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

@jbl8541 you'd be surprised it's not only the blue paint that fades. It's organic paint period.

[@nielsvos3031]

Cliff do you use a chemical mask always with roofwashing

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Yes I have one. It's a 3m mask with the Pink Cartridges

[@nielsvos3031]
