The board at a Northdale community called us before their spring league started. Their courts had turned green in the shaded corners, and two players had already slipped near the net. The black and green film was algae, the same stuff that grows on every damp surface in Tampa. We cleaned all four courts in a day. The acrylic went from slick and dull to bright and grippy again, and the lines popped like new. That is what good tennis and pickleball courts pressure washing does in Tampa. It clears the algae, brings back the color, and makes the surface safe to play on.
At Pink Flamingo Power Wash, we clean tennis and pickleball courts across Tampa for HOAs, clubs, schools, and homeowners with private courts. Cliff started this company to give local folks careful work at a fair price. We know why Tampa courts get dirty so fast. Our city gets close to 46 inches of rain a year, and the rainy season from June through September keeps the surface damp for weeks. Courts shaded by live oaks dry slowly, so algae and mold take hold first in the corners and along the net line. Pollen, leaves, and Spanish moss add to the mess. Left alone, that film gets slick and ruins both the look and the bounce.
Tennis and Pickleball Courts Pressure Washing
Court surfaces need a careful hand. You cannot blast acrylic or post tension concrete with high pressure, or you will strip the coating and wear down the lines. We use a soft wash with the right cleaning mix to kill algae and mold at the root. Then we rinse the whole court at a safe pressure. We clean the playing area, the corners, and the apron around the court. We also reach the gates and the strip between split courts, where mold likes to hide. Good prep matters too. Before we wash, we clear loose leaves and oak litter off the surface so the cleaning solution can reach the algae instead of sitting on top of a pile of debris. Your surface comes out clean, even, and grippy, with the lines crisp and the color back.
Concrete Pressure Washing
Many courts sit on a concrete base or share a concrete walkway and patio nearby. Our concrete pressure washing pulls mildew, clay, and grime out of the pores so the area stays clean longer. We match the method to the surface, whether it is a smooth slab, a textured deck, or pavers, so nothing gets etched or worn. Standing water and slow drains near a court speed up algae growth, so we point out any spots that need attention while we are there.
Fence Washing
Court fences take on a green coat just like the playing surface. Chain link and windscreens trap pollen, mold, and dust that blow in off the courts. Our fence washing clears the mesh and the posts so the whole court area looks cared for. Clean fencing also keeps mold from dripping back down onto the surface after the next rain.
Rust Stain Removal
Net posts, fence hardware, and metal benches leave rust streaks on courts and concrete. Sprinkler water with iron makes it worse, and those orange marks will not rinse off with plain water. We use a rust stain removal treatment made for hard surfaces that breaks the stain down and washes it away. If your posts or anchors leave rust runs, we can clear them.
Commercial Building Pressure Washing
Most courts we clean belong to a club, a school, or an HOA with buildings nearby. While we are on site, we can handle your commercial building pressure washing too, from the clubhouse walls to the entry sidewalks. Doing the courts and the building in one trip keeps your whole property looking sharp and saves you a second visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I clean my tennis or pickleball court in Tampa?
Most Tampa courts need a wash once or twice a year. Courts in heavy shade or under oaks grow algae faster, so twice a year keeps the surface safe and the bounce true.
Will pressure washing damage my court surface?
Not when it is done right. We never blast acrylic or coated courts with high pressure. We use a low pressure soft wash that kills algae and mold without stripping the coating or wearing the lines.
Can you make the court safe to play on again?
Yes. Slick courts come from algae and mold, not just loose dirt. We kill it at the root with our cleaning solution so the grip comes back and the slip risk drops. The clean lasts much longer than a quick rinse.
