Great video! If you find yourself doing a lot of these tennis courts, look at the Stihl Kombi system with the bristle brush attachment. It is a power broom that you simply walk behind to make the scrubbing go way faster.
Hm..wouldn’t the bristles leave scratches? I’ve worked plenty with the power broom and it’s seems pretty harsh. The idea is great, but on a high value court, it seems risky. No slight to you, I’m just curious I’ve you’ve learned through experience? We are looking for easier ways to clean our courts, and your advice could help.
How many gallons of the SH would you use for 3 full courts approximately? I know it’s dependent on the cleaning of the court. For the sake of this hypothetical, let’s say it’s a filthy. Thanks, and looking forward to your advice!
No, it doesn’t and no, it won’t. What I charge to clean tennis courts in the middle of Cape Cod has nothing at all to do with what you should charge for the same service there in Atlanta. I encourage you to do what I tell every cleaner to do: figure out your expenses, figure figure out what you need to earn to make a living, figure out how many days a year you can clean, figure out your hourly, figure out how long this will take you to do (I’ve known to spend eight hours or more for a court and it still looks like junk), and charge accordingly.
Hmmm. We don't have lizards here but we do have poop of different sorts. I'd first carefully scrape it off with a *plastic* putty knife such as this : amzn.to/48tyzGO (plastic to not harm the surface of the court) .. .and then I'd address the remaining stain with a solution of chlorine bleach with a mop from a bucket. Rinse away with a hose before it dries. That's what I'd try first. Hope that helps!
Not on a hard, impervious surface such as painted concrete, no. But I *have* learned that it’s no good to clean just part of a court with this method; the cleaned area will look dramatically brighter than areas that were left un-cleaned.
@@shanevanheerden2341 I only spray some water on it first if the surface is so hot that everything flash dries. So, I’ll only flash dry some water to cool the surface so that the sodium hypochlorite solution doesn’t instantly evaporate.
I have 2 questions, 1. How much gallon of SH do you use for one tennis court ? 2. in which direction do you rinse each of the sections, do you send the water towards the outside or towards the middle (flow of the stream)? and if you send it to the middle, do you rinse the water all the way to the bottom after EACH section or do you leave it dry and rinse the middle only at the very end by rinsing the entire court?
1) The least I've used is 7 gal, the most I've used is 22. Obviously, cleaner courts take less and nasty courts. 2) Each section is rinsed in the "downstream" direction. I start at the most downstream section, rinse in the downstream direction, and work my way upstream.

No short cuts here. Hope your customers appreciate the quality of service you provide.
I hope so too

How much do you charge for this service?

😎🎉
how would you clean an indoor hard tennis court?
@@CoVaTennis I wouldn’t 🤷🏼♂️
I think it would have to be a different method than shown here.

Cleanliness*
@@HoofedShark When the tennis court is truly filthy, it’s not unusual to use 25 gallons of 12% for the single court
How much you charge for these 2 courts i know it depends on area but rough price will be helpful thanks

How can I clean dry lizard poop and bird poop off of a hard surface pickle ball court?
Thank you
Joe

You weren't worried about any chemical stains from the SH?
Not on a hard, impervious surface such as painted concrete, no.
But I *have* learned that it’s no good to clean just part of a court with this method; the cleaned area will look dramatically brighter than areas that were left un-cleaned.
What is the exact name of the chemical and what’s a good place to find it? Is it just normal Clorox?
@@thegreglabbe 2:56 sodium hypochlorite..
Do you prefer or apply the bleach on immediately?
I don’t understand your question
@@OutsideCleaners pre wet the surface sorry or apply the mixture directly
