Green screens block more light than you think

How pool cages and screen enclosures get so dirty

A pool cage or screen enclosure is one of the best features of a Florida home, but it's also one of the hardest to keep clean. Whether you call it a pool cage, lanai, or screened-in patio, the combination of constant moisture from the pool, shade from overhanging trees, and Florida's year-round warmth creates ideal conditions for green algae, mold, and mildew. Within six months to a year, the screen panels start turning green. The aluminum frames discolor. A bright, open outdoor living space starts to feel dark and enclosed.

Our cleaning process

Our team restores pool cages, lanais, and screen enclosures to their original condition. We start by applying a cleaning solution to the exterior of the enclosure. The solution breaks the bond between the organic growth and the screen mesh and aluminum surface. After a brief dwell time, we rinse from the top down using low-pressure water, working panel by panel to ensure every screen is fully cleaned. The aluminum frame, crossbars, and structural beams are scrubbed and rinsed as well.

We pay close attention to the areas that accumulate the most buildup: the base channels where the cage meets the deck, the inside corners where two screen sections meet, and the roof panels that sit under tree canopy. These spots tend to hold moisture longer and grow algae faster than the rest of the enclosure. Skipping them leaves the cage looking half-cleaned, which is why we work methodically through every section.

Bundle the pool deck for a better price

Most customers add deck pressure washing while we already have the equipment out. One visit, floor to ceiling.

Selling your home or got an HOA notice?

For homes where the pool deck is inside the cage, we often recommend bundling deck pressure washing with the cage cleaning. This way, the entire enclosed area gets cleaned in one visit. The deck is pressure washed at the appropriate PSI for the surface material (concrete, pavers, or travertine) while the cage is cleaned with low-pressure methods. The result is a pool area that looks completely refreshed from floor to ceiling.

If your HOA has sent a letterabout the condition of your pool cage, or if you're preparing the house for sale, a professional cleaning makes an immediate and visible difference. Real estate agents tell us a clean pool cage is one of the highest-return improvements a seller can make. Buyers in Florida look at the pool area closely, and a green, dingy cage sends the wrong message.

Before we start any pool cage job, we ask homeowners to move patio furniture, pool floats, and anything else inside the enclosure that could get in the way or be damaged by overspray. We protect outdoor lighting, ceiling fans, and any electronics mounted to the cage structure. When we pack up, we do a final walkthrough with the homeowner to make sure every panel meets their expectations.

Beyond the Pool Cage

Covered lanais are one of the most common add-ons to a pool cage cleaning in Florida. Same visit, same crew.

Lanai Cleaning

Pollen, mildew, and cobwebs collect on a covered lanai even though it never sees rain. The ceiling panels yellow. The screen sections closest to the ground turn green. Spiders set up camp in every corner. It happens quietly, and by the time you notice, the whole space feels like it belongs outside rather than as part of your home.

We clean the screens, aluminum framing, ceiling, and floor in one visit so the entire lanai is usable again. Our soft wash process handles the mildew without high pressure, which means no damaged screens and no water forced into areas it should not reach. We move furniture, clean every surface from ceiling to floor, and put things back when we are done. Most homeowners add lanai cleaning to their pool cage appointment since we are already set up and the work flows together naturally.

Pool Cage & Screen Enclosure FAQ

How long does a pool cage cleaning take?

Most residential pool cages take three to five hours, depending on the size and severity of the algae buildup. Larger enclosures or cages that haven't been cleaned in several years may take a full day. We always complete the job in a single visit.

Will pool cage cleaning damage my screens?

Not the way we do it. We use low-pressure water, soft brushes, and a cleaning solution designed for screen enclosures. We never use high-pressure nozzles directly on screen panels. Before we start, we inspect every panel and flag any that are already torn or deteriorating so there are no surprises.

How often should I have my pool cage cleaned?

In Central Florida, once a year is the standard recommendation. If your pool cage is under heavy tree cover, adjacent to a retention pond, or on the north side of the property where it gets less direct sun, you may benefit from cleaning every eight to ten months. Staying on a regular schedule prevents the algae from getting thick enough to permanently stain the aluminum.

Do you clean the pool deck at the same time?

We can, and many customers bundle the two services for convenience and a better overall price. The pool deck is pressure washed while the cage is cleaned, so everything inside and around the enclosure looks new when we're finished. Ask about our bundle pricing when you request your estimate.
