[@randybarlow9587]

Great job Cliff. I thought for sure I was gonna see someone fall in that pool with the narrow pool deck😂.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Lol kept an eye on it. Definitely don't need no milk hahahahah

[@brownsindustrialpowerwashl4878]

I've been watching you for about a year now and I've learned A LOT from how you clean ppls property, maintain your gear etc... keep up the good work. I'm down here in Miami, FL. Handling business for about 2yrs myself. Imma start a KZbin channel soon to show my work as well.💯💪🏿

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Awesome! Thank you! That's is great news. Let me know when it's up so I can subscribe.

Hey Cliff, Great video bro. Happy to see you have your truck back 👏👍🏼

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Hey brother!!! Yes she's rocking and rolling

[@sparklemyhood8588]

Another great video bro. Question, what camera and tripod are you using? Thx

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Gopro hero 10 black. And a 30 dollar tripod from Amazon.

[@roman0835]

Good luck on that commercial bid 👍

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Fingers crossed! Thing is 4 stories! They want the roof washed

[@roman0835]

That's what I'm talking about. Looking forward to the video on that.

[@maxvillanueva4227]

Great video brother! Question, what type of quick connect or what size goes at the end of the wand/gun to connect our JRod.. thank you!

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

That would be a 1/4 inch quick connect

[@johnnyyoung9165]

What's up, my man! Johnny from Ohio. I've been watching for a while. Learned a lot. Can I use SH to strip 4 yr old stamped concrete. If yes, what percent of SH to use. If no, what kinda stripper do you recommend? Any advice if much appreciated!

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Strip sealer? Sh is a cleaner it won't remover no sealer. You would need a paver sealer stripper. There's a ton on the market. Trident has one, deco products has stripacast and cobble lock has cobble strip.

[@johnnyyoung9165]

Thank you, Sir! Have a good day!

[@silverstake88]

On the outlets and doorbell ringers I understand it's a good idea to tape up. What about the outdoor light fixtures? Can those be a problem?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Nah they're waterproof. I don't shoot water up towards the lights just only the top area.

[@thomascicalese7844]

Hey Cliff, thanks for all the videos. Just wondering what type of house mix do you use? Do you ever streak windows? If so, how do you prevent that?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I use sh aka chlorine. Ans I add some professional surfactant to cling and make windows shine. Slo mo surfactant Is my go to and my 2nd one I use is sticky icky from ameritech. The sticky icky comes in different scents which is pretty nice.

[@00ski]

Serious question.. spraying bleach up like that in the pool cage won’t get in your hair and bleach it ?? I got dreads and it’s lookin sketchy 😂

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Lol nah it's not that strong to do that hahahah

[@tylerdurhan346]

What do you do with all the dirt and debris that accumulates in the street after you pressure wash a driveway?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Clean them up so customer doesn't track dirt back onto the driveway after I'm done. 🙃

[@KCoutdoors1]

Hey Cliff great video, trying to get started here in Temple Terrace. Do you recommend a pressure washing/chemical supplier in the area? Thanks man

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Hey brother. Closest one to us is Ameritech right off Nebraska Ave. And the other one is pressure washer products. Can't go wrong with either.

[@KCoutdoors1]

@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Thank you so much!

[@KCoutdoors1]

@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Another quick question, trying to get into paver sealing as one of my top top services. Do you still recommend deco sealer or do you recommend a 2 part sealer? Does one save you more money? Thank you man.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

@KCoutdoors1 yes I use both. Depending on the size of the project.

[@KCoutdoors1]

@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Much love🙏

[@StevePentland]

Always love your videos and really appreciate you taking the time to put them up! I was wondering when you surface clean pavers, doesn’t that also take the sand out from between the stones? Do you have to come put more sand in or does it usually stay put while you clean?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

You're very welcome. The thing with pavers is that if they are not sealed the sand will wash out just from heavy rains. So there will be a little sand loss due to surface cleaning. Can't have it both ways there's no way to avoid it unless they're sealed. No I don't sand pavers unless I'm sealing them. Sanding takes time and time is money.

[@duderock123456]

New beginner to soft wash. Do you apply the sh then wait 15 to 10 minutes and then begin to rinse off?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I don't wait that long anymore. I did as a beginner but now my dwell time hovers around 7-8 mins at best

[@duderock123456]

How many gallons of SH do you use on a topical house? Maybe 1800 SQ ft - 2000?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

@duderock123456 would depend on how dirty it is and how large it is. In my 5 years it's been 7 gallons

[@duderock123456]

I appreciate how responsive and accurate you are! Thanks for sharing the love my man! God bless!

[@vmonroig21]

Bout the time a year to start falling in some pools 😂😂
