- There are many ways to clean a tennis court: surface cleaners, slave elves, etc. This video here is a very basic HOW TO of one of my favorite methods to clean a "hardcourt." As any professional exterior cleaner knows, much more can be said about cleaning tennis courts, but I hope this video illustrates the basics of this method.
Use your brain: safety first, and don't let your chemical runoff go into bodies of water or down storm drains, etc.
And here's some links to other tools and equipment used in this video:

Great video Nate. Those courts came out 👌🏻
Appreciate it!!

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.
Thanks for the tip!
Great Info....Thanks
Thanks for watching
How much you charge for these 2 courts i know it depends on area but rough price will be helpful thanks
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.
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.
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
@@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.
