The black staining was really bad on the floor but once the pool was filled Ip and there was chlorine In the stains were gone as you can see at the end of the video!!

It always makes me stunned how people let their pools go this dirty because in Brazil you would be fined if you didn’t clean your pool regularly. We have something called Sanitary Supervision that inspects anything that could be a danger for public health. Especially because of dengue risks.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I think this pool is somewhere in Britain. They probably don't have a problem with mosquitoes or anything like that.
First off, I am not putting you down. I am putting down your governments piss poor protection of it's people. Think about this for a few minutes. (I used 2018 data because, it has been verified)...
Brazil had 160 deaths from Dengue in 2018. Also, Brazil had 57,358 murders in 2018.
Meanwhile that same year the UK had 809 murders and no mosquito borne virus deaths.
Your country has Sanitary Supervision??? WTF? What is the point? Wear some bug spray or start using genetically modified mosquitoes to stop the massive breeding. Anyway...While I understand the importance of protecting the people from Dengue. Your country has much bigger problems than some mosquitoes.
I feel bad for anyone living is a Socialist country. The USA is following in the footsteps of Brazil. All because, so many have been fooled by fake problems created by politicians trying to get elected. They have become so stupid in my country that even when this moron Biden says the dumbest shit and does the dumbest shit. They still think it's a joke. I've never seen so much ignorance in my life.
Lastly, I have a 6m x 12m pool that holds 124918L of water. I keep it very clean. I am a bit obsessed with it. I turn on my robot daily, skim the top, check chemicals every 3 days and run my pump 10 hours/day.
@@cha-ka8671 sou brasileira e concordo com vc!
@@ellysantana5086 Tu concorda que o Brasil é um pais socialista e que a dengue é um problema inventado pelos político pra servir de chamariz???
Judging by how the garden looks still, I bet it's going to be no time before it's back to being a swamp
He just said the home has new owners..
I've been cleaning pools for 3 years and I have seen some very dirty and abandoned looking yards around pools and they stay super clean as long as someone empties the skimmers and checks the equipment and chemicals every week other than that the pool does the rest of the work keeping itself clean
The garden doesn't even look that bad? Just looks like a country garden to me. Not everyone likes a mowed lawn, some people like wildflowers.
what exactly were you expecting from an average residential garden? this isnt the chelsea flower show...
@@JG-nx3jg "average residential garden"
Alright... :)
I can’t believe people don’t do all the yard maintenance and clean the surrounding areas before having you come refresh the pool. The likelihood of them dirtying the pool while cleaning everything is high, might as well do it while the pool is already nasty.
You did hear they just moved in right?😃
@@NOONE-cd4gu But still i agree.
Totally agree! I would have defo done the weeds and patio areas first
@@sparkmeister4706 and when people move in to a new house they have shit ton to do and clean and tidy up and set up that the last thing they think off is doing the yard work
@@NOONE-cd4gu then why aren't they waiting for the yard work is done and THEN getting the pool cleaned? if they have so much to do before yard work or whatever why rushing to clean the pool?
I’ve been there and never want to go back. As 1 pool boy to another you guys did an amazing cleanup from what was given to you to work with. Straight bleach or better yet liquid chlorine works well on cutting through the crud. And when all else fails muriatic acid. Definitely need a respirator. I did 1 like this years ago. Polished the whole pool with a 50 grit diamond pad and did the coping too. Came out really nice but I had to work for it. Those days over for me. Great to see you young guys going after it.
It’s honestly so mad to see such a beautiful transformation to then see it looking like an overgrown mess around the pool. You just know that hard work is going to be wasted and the pool manky in no time!
I honestly (and no discredit to you, more aming it at the previous owners who left the pool like that) I wouldnt swim in that pool still after seeing the floor/ sides still looking all black. Id have had to put some lining/ tiles on to cover it all up. I am suprised you managed to clean it as much as you did! Well done for that
Technically it ain't a big deal unless you're delicate for no reason. People swim in beaches, lakes, rivers, etc.. I'm pretty sure this is fine lol
@@ayofrtho7014 I was just saying what Id have done if it was my pool. so far 72 people agree...
If I were the owner, I would probably paint the pool in white after the cleaning!
I guess this guy would never swim in a lake
@Adarkershadeofrainbow yessir
Even after it was cleaned it still looked "swampish".
I think it's because it looks pretty old, so it gives "swampish" vibes even when it's clean.
@@BuftaChYmes i agree. I imagine this clean up process alone already cost the customer a lot of money, they still have to buy pool chemicals, fill the pool up(which is the cheapest thing they paid for in this whole thing by $100s! Lol so, this clean up, refill, start up chemicals all and all. I don't know their location and pricing for their service but I'd say around $2k minimum! (Clean up, fill up, start up chemicals)
And a paint job is expensive. I know for my area. 1 gallon of paint + 1 paint of the epoxy mixture is $100. Just like your house one gallon does not go that far. So, i bet a paint job is over $1k after the pool was cleaned they would still have to wait for a period of clear weather for the pool to dry from the clean up, then paint, than a day or so for the paint to dry.
They did a great job on this clean up, it's a long process
Y would they put water in it before cleaning up around it I agree it basically looks the same
@@lyndonmrconnor8069 who knows. Maybe they can't clean it themselves and they can't afford to pay someone to clean it up after what they paid for the pool to be cleaned.. or maybe they like the "clean pool in the middle of a jungle, exotic" look
No discredit to your hard work because you guys did an amazing job, but I think you deserve a better pressure washer….
I think that as well
They need a better power washer a petrol would be much better and would off removed that chemical free
I was getting angry watching it because of this
Agreed
Maybe just better accessories for it? Our one has a pavement cleaner attachment would have been much quicker on the bottom of the pool
I hope the newts got relocated safely 🤞🤞 great job guys 😊
I know
Came to the comment section to find out what happened to the critters
I’m doubtful there was a “relocation” program, feels more like they got sucked up with all the other muck.
@@sarsonsueHere in the UK, Newts are protected under Wildlife Act of 1981. In that if found in areas that are not safe for them, they have to be re homed, the many local wildlife trusts that we have around the country are always willing to assist.
Yeah I think they met their demise.
Guys, what are your thoughts on leveling up to a steam pressure washer? I'm thinking that the steam would help kill the growth still left on the surfaces so that it doesn't grow back as fast next time.
Well they use acid to kill everything in the pool
I was looking for this comment
I think if you get better at some of the basic pressure washing techniques, it will come out a lot better. Not sure what you were using to kill the algae, but a high chlorine mix would have done wonders especially on the side wall. The pool came out decent enough I think. But sometimes when I watch you guys using the pressure washing wand, I just want to reach through the screen and grab it out of your hands. Hope you don't take that the wrong way because you guys obviously care a lot. But, yeah your not using the pressure washing equipment you already have to its full potential IMO. Either way, keep up the hard work. Great vids!
Gasoline powered pressure washer, more PSI and much better, used in combination with a steam cleaner, again, not some little bitty 110 volt residential toy.
@@Jzzonem and get rid of the rotating nozzle, that's why there is all strips. Concentrated high throughput nozzle for this job. I used to clean floors and I found that to be the best. I added 2 little castors and it was great.
I don’t know how the previous owners could sell the house in this state! Really? You won’t at least empty and clean the pool before handing it over to the new owners? Glad you both were able to get the pool usable again. It seems the entire pool may need to be demolished and reinstalled. The stains are pretty stubborn and the top parts, on the sides, seemed like they were coming off and cracking.
haven’t watched tge entire video yet but perhaps the previous owners sold it as it is because they’re already short on money.
@@pichuu7036 Possibly. And hopefully they can come to understand how that affects the new owners.
@@ButacuPpucatuB The previous owners would just get a lower asking price for the house... it's not like that wouldn't be factored in
@@andrewb1543 I’m not talking about a lower price. But let’s say I sell you shoes, used, and the previous owner had a gnarly foot fungus. Can you see where I’m coming from? It’s just common courtesy to provide usable premises.
@@onebridge7231 I’m so sorry to have offended you at such a serious level. Please forgive me. I’m not sure what this has to do with the US. But they must have a bad housing situation. Again, my apologies.
Question for ML if you're out there: Have you ever been called in to a cleaning job and just told the owner there's no point? That it would be better to put in a new pool?
I've wondered this as well.
You pretty much have to have structural damage to the pool itself to get to that point dirty pools like this are cheap to clean compared to a reinstall of a new pool basin plumbing etc
Y'all, it's that bad???? I haven't made it to the end before reading the comments! 😭😭
If the concrete and structure is sound, then it can be cleaned, pretty much.
@Rastaman well there are no leaks since it's holding water. So the plumbing should be fine. When they turn the pump on that could be a different story. Bad pump, replace pump, leaking with pump on there that would need to be addressed. But i assume any structural damage he would have noticed during clean up and would have told owner. And would have mentioned in the video. Pools like this are 30-50k low end. If there is underground water, and it's bad enough of could push the pool out of the ground and that's a nightmare to deal with by they seemed to have no issue there
A little Canadian tip. Use a wide ergonomic snow shovel instead of the broom. Still need the brush for the walls. But it helps push everything into a nice neat pile and you can pick it up without switching tools. Just try it. Trust me.

Oh my God I love pressure washing. It's so satisfying. I love to do it too
Ive never seen such a big drop off steps like that. Im betting normally they would have been installed on shallow end but house was too close so they chucked them onto side but huge drop off end of those stairs!
If you look at 7:15, there is a slope. It’s uneven. Probably couldn’t get it leveled due to piping. It was most likely installed after the house was built.
Dead meet pool😂
I think its pretty awesome actually.
Exactly. I hate it
I just finished a lot of homework and seeing you upload this, totally worth the journey. It's healing

Just out of curiosity but how many newt’s did you get ?😊
Your Chanel has to be one of the best on RUclips. I could watch your videos for hours. Fascinating.
I'm so sorry that that happened 😔. But I'm glad you are alive. ♥️
even after a good clean, that pool is still a write off.
Just needs somebody to come in and jet wash it properly and it'll be fine.
@@streaky81 but it was? Sure they probably should have gone over a few more times but it looked pretty good
Can you retile a pool if like the tiles are way gone and like changing the tiles may bring a good look ?

@@streaky81 I think it needed something like a paint job
i just get radioactivity vibes from the pool

Why aren’t you running higher PSI on the pressure washer? Are you guys concerned about the potential risks of the higher pressure on delicate areas? Since otherwise, you would save heaps of time and effort running a surface cleaner at 3000psi. Great work by the way.
I was thinking the same thing a higher psi would make things so much easier I’m sure they gotta be careful around the tiles but you can just change the nozzle at that point to work around that
DAs aLOt OF BraiN POWeR
They need more gpm not psi
They don't like to work smart!
Quite a waste of time using an inadequate pressure ! They could have done a decent cleaning with a substantial machine (which have an array of tips for different pressure tasks) Spray bleach from a garden pressure when the gross deposits are removed. Let the bleach sit for 15/20 minutes and go back with pressure washer again and you’ll have a dramatic change. Use a good mask & eye protection when spraying bleach
That sludge was just nauseating. I can only imagine the smell. Obsessed with watching your video’s. Love the process and seeing the it’s transformation.
On the top list of one of the grossest pools I've seen to date. It took a lot of man power & chemicals, but you two cleaned it up as best as you could. Good job.
I was so happy when you said you were going to rescue the newts!! Love that
I never would have thought I would be entertained by watching people clean pools. These vids are very relaxing and I really enjoy them. You guys do a fantastic job. Thanks for relocating the newts. Many would let them die so thanks again for that.

i would love for you to clean the patio that's outside the edge of the pool. It would look soooo much better
Yes and i think his jet washer is not powerful enough for some of these stains
It’s up to the customer mate and what they want to pay for.
1. Not his department
2. Yard workers exist
3. The owners just moved in
4. Its up to the customers whether they'd want that or not
5. Bush trimming requires more a.d quite different equipment
This annoys me that they don’t do this and only clean the small area beside the pool, but I’m assuming they aren’t paid to do the rest, it drives my OCD crazy!!! Why not clean the lot before the pool Is refilled now someone else will clean it and the crap wil go into the clean pool! 😂😂
Oddly satisfying watching you guys work awesome job
That ASMR scraping of the shovel is so satisfying ☺️🤗
Another customer who goes to the trouble of having their pool done but its surroundings looking like something out of a horror movie. I really wish more would pay for the area surrounding the pool to get cleaned.
Yeah that's the thing that annoys me about this one. By all means clear the pool out, but get someone in to tidy up the edges first with a high power pressure washer and even weed killer the growth first. I would also pay for someone to come through & clean all the pipes with a pressure washer like drain cleaners do, once the pool is empty. Oh and get rid of all the old poolside equipment, most of it is plastic so it won't have aged well in the sun.
At least that way you won't have so much muck still in the pool when you fill it again.
Honestly, before the pool is done and the plumbing and filters are checked the pool could be ruined and have to be ripped out or majorly reworked. Clearing some sand and weeds from the pool after cleaning the surroundings later might be better then making everything nice and finding out the pool is toast.
You do realize that (for most parts) of the UK that is pretty much the standard residential garden that just needs a weedwacker taken to it and a bit of a mow?
Even Hippos will hesitate or probably run away seeing that Pfoool. Lol
*would
Bro I love your videos and these disgusting transformations. Please keep them coming. If you don’t mind one productive criticism please get a more powerful pressure washer or partner with a local pressure washing company so they can pressure wash the whole pool deck and area for you and you can concentrate on the pool itself. It would be a win-win for both of you and the other company.
this is amazing! you could even start an asmr chanel just with this videos! its so good to watch ahah
It's amazing what you can do! Make a swamp into a swimming pool 🙂. Save the newts!
Wouldn’t it have been better to repaint it after cleaning whilst it was empty ? Still looks a bit grubby to me
I can't quite decide if it's marbelite coating - if that's the case, they don't recommend painting it.
Doesn't look like marblelite to me but I still would resurface with tile.
Wouldn’t an epoxy based paint be sufficient?
I wonder how much a job like this costs the customer. I hope you get paid well as you should!
You guys literally walked into a whole ecosystem
Lots of character to the pool, better quality than the modern style.
Nice job but I have two suggestions for you, bigger shovels and more water pressure.💯😎👍
That’s quite a transformation! Didn’t think it would look that good after filling with water, but it does look pretty darn good!
Always a shame seeing pools get neglected. Great job guys.
Got a few questions: why was the slide not cleaned + Why isn't brush based equipment used in the pool cleaning business?
At least for the slide they probably cleaned it with a brush at some point, if you pressure wash plastics like that it takes the smooth layer off the top and makes it really nasty and scratchy, would be really bad for a slide to be scratchy
How beautiful that tiny creature.was Oh my... 😱😍 !! (Mini crocodile lizard) so cute.
To be honest I thought it might be a lost cause but you did an excellent job!
Idk about anyone else, but I would start catching newts and getting them out of there, I just gotta a soft heart is all and can't really help myself.
We had tadpoles in our pool this spring, because the cover partially blew off. My boys went out and scooped out every one :)

Please do not destroy the beautiful biotope 😂😂😂🐟 good job !!
Leave all my activities behind to watch thiiiiissss🤣❤️
I can only imagine the stench of the Pool, I’m surprised the neighbours weren’t complaining.
One thing I would recommend is a better more powerful pressure washer
to wash holes into the old concrete?
Yeah definitely, was thinking the same, like an 8hp 4000 or more psi petrol one. Would get the job done much quicker
no just needed better technique
Yeah its definitely a bit of a weak one. Although maybe he doesnt want to damage the pool
If the pool can be damaged by a more powerful pressure washer, then it’s got more problems than being dirty.
This was strangley satisfying to watch. Amaxing
And I would say that shop vacs are the best thing ever invented. Especially when it comes to swimming pools or having kids throw sand in your pool. It's a godsend
That was a pool nightmare! Amazing it even cleaned up!
Why didn’t you show the rescue of the newts 😂. Please can you do a vid/ Q&A type thing with your suggestions on what people need to consider when designing / planning their pool requirements,. With your experience what works best / most economical set-up, easiest set-up to maintain etc. I’m not asking for brand endorsements or anything like that but things like minimum pool size, salt water/ Chlorine, glass mosaic/ marble/ ceramic tiles etc. In your opinion what are some of the common pitfalls that are made, which makes the ongoing maintenance of the pool much harder than it needs to be / more economical to run, if only people had thought about during the planning stage 😊❤️👍🏼
I wish you would have cleaned the stones all around the pool and not just leave em dirty BUT I did enjoy this 😍👍
Looks very scary. Just looking at gives me chills.
So being a subscriber to this channel or enjoying watching this stuff is fascinating to me. I would love to know the psychology behind why watching something like this is so enjoyable for 4.4M people (currently number on this video) Makes me so happy to see such a great end result :)

Great job! A question…what IS in the watering can that cleans the dirt off so well? Thanks in advance.
I believe it's some sort of acid.
@@billie-jobratton9994 Thank you!
Its either hydrochloric acid, bleach blend, or hydrogen peroxide
sodium hypochlorite, or swimming pool chlorine has a typical strength of around 14/15%, which is about 4.5x stronger than household bleach. Diluting the chemical alters the strength, with 1% being 1:14 and 7.5% at 1:1.
Most likely hydrochloric/muriatic acid. It foams up like this when applied. Great for cleaning stubborn stains in the toilet bowl as well. Always use eye and skin protection however. Splashes of it on you are not good.
How many of the vacuumed up newts did you save ? Or any of them ?
Newt are also a protected species
She turned me into a newt…I got better
Only my brother calls me Rebecca, my name is Newt!
Imagine if new pool cleaner come and just say "we need a couple of flock , shock and chlorine granules"
I’m assuming you’re in the UK…England….hard to imagine ppl having pools there. It’s so cold🥶. I live in sunny California and my pool has to be warm in order for me to get into it hahaha. Even on 100 degree days. Pool came out great hopefully they’ll keep it up and hire a some yard maintenance👍🏼
That went from “Shrek’s swamp” to “let’s party at my place”real quick
Some species of newts are protected!
He likely relocated the lizard type creatures
To the toilet 😂
What in the world did you dump on it to make it go white like that? Oh my gosh that's amazing! Bleached it right out and made it pretty
do you pump that water on the sewer line or ground? do you use hot water pressure washer and do you add clorin in to the mixture tank?
I was wondering.. no sealer or paint coating? That will increase longevity of the pools life. And it'd be nice to see a back garden makeover!! Ya Killin me over here!

You need a better “jet washer” mate. Not really more pressure but more GPM
Yes he does. The walls would have come cleaner much better if more pressure in that nozzle.
I've said this on around three of his videos already . There's intense pressure washers out there that would make his job so much easier
You can even get those circular floor one's like the ones that buff wax floors and they would make concrete pool floors gleam !
Don’t know why these guys prefer the circular nozzle rather than the flat head one. Less streaks and will get the job done way faster too
Flat head nozzle would have done a better job .
It's a more concentrated clean.
Good job lads.
it's been 3 years since this pool was last used but it has been 8 years since it was cleaned? damn how the hell did anyone swim in this pool?
I'm wondering if maybe it was a case of misremembering. Like when you say "oh it must have been about 3 years since we went to Mallorca. What? It was 2013? 2013 was EIGHT YEARS AGO?!"
Or alternatively it was a lie to make them seem less negligent to the people buying their house. "Yeah yeah it was definitely only 3 years. Dunno how it got so bad in that time"
and I bet they're more worried about the Covid19 virus ....
These pools must reek. The fact you didn't puke while you cleaned it, is a miracle.
you guys are amazing thats an unbelievable transfrmation..... well done, huge respect to you x
I'm curious to know how much he would charge for such an epic job
Same thing I was wondering.
Me too!!
Me too. I'm thinking he gave a discount because he can make extra money from youtube.
Your pressure washer isn't pressure-y at all, it's like putting your finger on the tip of the hose
