I've seen a bunch of those videos for both lawn care and pressure washing for elderly or homes that are need of some attention. It is interesting how charging a "lower" price is viewed at times. I'm with you, never had much time with my grandparents and not only give the elderly the respect but there's so many reasons to give a discount. Those haters, I would just ignore them. Btw both thumbs up and down helps the RUclips algorithm in recommending your videos. I helped a couple people in the past so let them dislike it, they don't know they helping you out either way. Lol
Majority homes in Florida are stucco, other regions are vynal siding where downstreaming works well, the argument is that you need a dedicated pump and soft wash to wash stucco? But your washes look flawless with downstream injector! Shed some light to the myth!!! 😅😅
That is very true. The only time you'd need a dedicated pump for stucco is if it's reallllly bad, like that dark dark black algae. But other than that downstream is the go to. Keep in mind I use the envirospec super suds sucker downstream injector which draws a little high percentage than the GP injector.
I'm a pool guy in my day job. I can comment about soap getting into pools. A lot of soaps and detergents have phosphates in them. Phosphates essentially act like fertilizer for algae to feed on. So I always end up using some phosphate remover after the pressure cleaning guys were there. Overall it's not a big deal. Also on a salt pool, the salt system is actually generating chlorine. So no need to go out of your way to avoid getting bleach in the pool. I have actually had pools turn green after guys blast all kinds of shit into them, one actually told me he thought it wouldn't happen because he used chlorine. Well, you would need to get at least 2 gallons into the pool to prevent that if a bunch of debris goes in.
Do your thing big Cliff, I definitely feel you with the older customers feeling like family 💯 You know haters gon hate but they are the ones who are gonna keep watching and using your videos to improve their business without dropping a like. #saltycrabs
Yea i know they are out there. I see them on the dislikes but they arent powerful enough. 1 day i will do a video to let you guys see the other side of having a youtube channel.
Love your videos. Awesome and informative. Just getting into the game. I’m learning a lot. Just a sidebar. I clean pools on the side too and sh getting into any pool, chlorine or salt watet won’t hurt it. A salt water pool is a chlorine pool that just uses salt that runs through a chlorine generator to make chlorine. So 1.25% will only add a very small amount to the chlorine level, if any. The concentration of chlorine in the chemical we add to a pool is like 73%-99% chlorine concentration and a few pounds at a time. Most of those residential pools are going to be about 20,000 gallons.
Hey thanks. Are you telling me or telling the subscribers? Lol I've said that exact thing probably 100 times hahahahah 😆 glad you said it again maybe someone will notice and stop worrying 😆
Excellent video Cliff. I always try to do a little extra for my customers. And it pays off. Have gotten a lot of job's by doing little extra things and a $50 or a $100 job👍
Yet another great video!! GLC From VA .......man charge what you need to charge...the guys you talking about making thousands of the RUclips views for the FREE work anyway...this is what We Do for a living......I still get hate regarding my prices sometimes but ....they don't pay my bills.....we all use to be the $99 guy/ gal and sometimes I still am...but 10 yrs and counting for me...WE STILL HERE and haven't closed shop like I'm seeing some new companies after 2 or 3 yrs Keep it up Clyde Catch ya in the flip side and next one Thank you
Yes sir well said! There is absolutely nothing wrong with looking out for someone or pickup a small job within reason. I never modeled my business with low prices but i have done a couple cheap jobs for sure.
Maaaaaannn that golf ball would've gotten a hole in one through the downspout if the gutters were clean. Lol I'm with you, what if it hit the window? Smh
looking like buttttter! can't wait to see how that new rig turns out. What editing program were you using? looking for some free decent ones. God bless keep them videos coming.
Lol thanks. I use powerdirector365 they have a free version I believe cause I started with the free one. Then bought the yearly membership when I moved onto the PC version
Thank you Mr. Clifford for another great video. I was just wondering 💭 do you ever cover the ceiling fans with a plastic bag and tape it off so that no water damages it??? Thank you Sir. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊❗️
Been following your channel for a while man, I'm from Vancouver BC, and have been a sole owner-operator for 4 years now. Do you ever rinse the neighbor's walls when they are close by after softwashing? I've learned a lot from you so I appreciate you greatly:)
yes thats a must to rinse any overspray or dirt platter on the neighbors house. Ive gonna as far as rinsing the neighbors plants as well if theres risk of getting overspray on their side.
Cliff once again your video is very descriptive and helpful! what is the model of your downstream injector? i cant seem to find a similiar model online
Good video Man. I’d love see a video of your down stream injector set up with your mixing valve. I just built a mixing valve for a soft wash system and was curious if I could use the valve for both set ups. One with my soft wash system and other with the down stream injector
Hey Clif, thanks for sharing all your knowledge! I am wondering what you do for the windows after you spray them. Do you clean them or just leave them? Thanks
Thanks for sharing. Learning a from your videos. So thx. Want to ask , what are you using to apply your mix? I see a pressure washing wand but it’s coming out soft not to damage. So I’m confused.
I use a downstream injector to apply the chemical but what makes it come out so soft is the nozzles on the Jrod. Those tips are all low pressure nozzles compare to those green, yellow, white, red tips which are high pressure tips.
Yes my SH tank is vented through the floor so the fumes go outside the van. Pros are your equipment is protected from rain and sun. Cons is if the van breaks down you are stuck and unable to work until fixed.
@Pink Flamingo Power Wash LLC yup. Other one broke on last side of house. Started to lightly snow and was gonna get worse the next day. Bought a Simpson. Rushed back finished but notice that it wasn't drawing correctly
@Brad Snyder yea I figured when you said the pump has a downstreamer. Quick note. Those aren't made for SH. Those are home owner grade pressure washers. They never last at all with the chemicals. Most of the people that uses those bypasses the stock injector (removing the spring and ball then plug it with a bolt) then attach an aftermarket downstream injector. And bam problem is fixed. No more downstream issues.
mr cliff take it from it from some one that s been in bussiness for almost 47 yrs any thing that you do fo free is fine chrg alittle more than normal you r a highway rober chrg what is nessary aqt today cost s screw em al g
Yeah bro. I believe Florida is the best place for pressure cleaning. Get that paper.
You are correct! Although some say we got the cheapest prices.
Now that was a full day's work right there Lol
It was never ending! LOL but everything moved like clockwork
They should drill small holes on the bottom of the cage to allow water to run through 😮
Yes definitely!! I tell my customers that all the time.
13:46 have me thinking you cleaned the cage and didn't record it. Those screens looking so clean, but nope, missing them at the top. Smh lol
I totally missed it the 1st time around.

Great vid!! Man you gotta explain your gun setup….seems pretty long and what is the attachment in the middle?
It's just a regular gun with a 3ft Lance. That middle black attachment is my gropro mount so I can attach my camera to it.
Getting the FloPro Chemical injector bypass tomorrow...
Always a great video full of information 👍🏽
Appreciate the info Cliff.
Salute from Texas 🤘🏼
I can't wait to get mine!!

Thanks Brother.
What's the advantage of just using the ball valve instead of the nozzle? Is it just more comfortable to hold?
If I had waited 28 more seconds, you just answered it for me! ☺ Sorry about that. Thanks for the great content, Cliff! Keep it coming!
Hahahaha no problem thanks for the engagement anyway 😄
Thank you Mr. Clifford for another great video.
I was just wondering 💭 do you ever cover the ceiling fans with a plastic bag and tape it off so that no water damages it???
Thank you Sir.
Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊❗️
No I don't cause they're outdoor fans they're used to getting wet. If there's exposed outlets I'll cover those.

Hey how could I learn how to do a estimate on concrete surface
Most do it by square footage
Been following your channel for a while man, I'm from Vancouver BC, and have been a sole owner-operator for 4 years now.
Do you ever rinse the neighbor's walls when they are close by after softwashing? I've learned a lot from you so I appreciate you greatly:)
I always do that because it would be rude to leave dirt on the house that wasn't there already.
yes thats a must to rinse any overspray or dirt platter on the neighbors house. Ive gonna as far as rinsing the neighbors plants as well if theres risk of getting overspray on their side.
How do you collect payments? And if you use CRM which one helps you the most?
I accept however the customer wants to pay. I take it all lol cash, check, zellez venmo, cashapp, credit and debit card. I use Hubspot for my CRM.
Cliff once again your video is very descriptive and helpful! what is the model of your downstream injector? i cant seem to find a similiar model online
Thank you, envirospec super suds sucker downstream injector
Good video
Man. I’d love see a video of your down stream injector set up with your mixing valve. I just built a mixing valve for a soft wash system and was curious if I could use the valve for both set ups. One with my soft wash system and other with the down stream injector
I have both of those videos recorded on this channel. Do a quick search on my videos, I did the downstream injector one maybe a month ago.
Hey Clif, thanks for sharing all your knowledge! I am wondering what you do for the windows after you spray them. Do you clean them or just leave them?
Thanks
I rinse them while rinsing the house
Just found your vids.... Great work love the vids.
How much SH to a gallon do you work with. Cheers
I downstream straight sh. There no point on mixing sh with water when the downstream injector does exactly that for me.
Is cleansol bc a good product for removing oxidation? It's supposedly brushless the bottle says but idk if it removes paint on vinyl siding 😬😕
Yes it does remove oxidation. And oxidation is failing paint brother. So yes that's what you're removing.
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Thanks my brother.
How long did you operate your company before you moved to an 8gpm system?
It was About 2 years.
What's your dwell time on exterior and screens?
Id say about 7 minutes

What do you use to cover salt water pools?
I dont run it to those. I'd most likely pass up on them
What are you using to get the stream to reach the second story?
A shooter tip attachment.
what # tip are you using to soap up the pool enclosure?
My 8gpm soap tip which is a #2550 tip.
R u rinsing through ur injector by turning little 3 way valve or full flow?
I turned the ball valve in my bypass to rinse with full flow yes. I dont like rinsing with through the injector. I very rarely do that.
What kind of soap do you use
Slo mo surfactant
What size ankle weight is on top of your surface cleaner
5lbs
Do you have a vent in the van? Or are you just used to the fumes. Trying to find an extended near me. Any pros and cons?
Yes my SH tank is vented through the floor so the fumes go outside the van. Pros are your equipment is protected from rain and sun. Cons is if the van breaks down you are stuck and unable to work until fixed.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Gotcha. Good work on this video man you killed those jobs!
Hey downstream king. My new pump I got yesterday has a down streamer. It pulled a qtr of the gallon then nothing else. Any idea?
U got your pressure washer from home depot , lowes , or tractor supply?
@Pink Flamingo Power Wash LLC yup. Other one broke on last side of house. Started to lightly snow and was gonna get worse the next day. Bought a Simpson. Rushed back finished but notice that it wasn't drawing correctly
@Pink Flamingo Power Wash LLC plus I'm up here in the tri state of oh,w.v.,ky. Not allot options here
Not exactly the big city lo

@@dantec8854 I already have a P40. I'm not buying an AR. But I'd probably get it from Texas pressure washing store
It all gets filtered

For jobs like that get a surface cleaner that vacuums the water
