Kissimmee, FL Patio, Deck, Pool Area, & SCreen Enclosure Cleaning
One of the realities of living in Florida is the humidity and sunshine which creates mold virtually on all surfaces given enough time. This is the case for screen enclosures. Over time, mold and mildew accumulate on the aluminum support structure as well as the screen mesh itself. Typically, homeowners also desire to have the floor of the entire pool deck or yard enclosure cleaned as well.
A pressure cleaned deck and screen enclosure makes a significant improvement in the look of the home and increases the value of the home. It also makes using the deck area more enjoyable for BBQs or family gatherings.

But not Everyone is detailed.
Porch, Lanai, & Pool Screen Enclosure Pressure Wash Cleaning
When cleaning the screen enclosure, it is important not to use pressure as the screens can be pushed out or damaged. While professionals who clean pool decks and patio enclosures are known as “pressure washers” we don’t actually use pressure to clean screen enclosures as is the case with fence cleaning. The method used is more known in the industry as soft-washing because it uses low pressure and chemicals to do the work.
The amount of pressure used is similar to a hose with a stream setting on. The proper way to clean it is to use the proper chemicals to remove the mold that is clinging to the surface. With the proper concentrations and dwell time, the mold and mildew will melt down and will be easer to rinse off safely. This is the approach that should be taken for the entire screen and the support structure as well.
At Pyramid Detail, we make sure to take all property of our customers into account including plants, grass, and property when cleaning a deck/pool area and carrying out our pressure washing services. The result of a professionally-cleaned patio screen enclosure is crystal clear screens and fresh looking pillars and support beams of the enclosure, especially more noticeable on white screen enclosures.
Removing Dirt, Mold, & Mildew From Patios & Screen Enclosures
It takes detail and great care when cleaning patio and pool screen enclosures to avoid pushing screens out of their frame or spraying chemicals onto plants or other property. In our process, we first assess the condition of the screen enclosure both in terms of how much dirt and mold has accumulated on the enclosure as well as the structural and functional condition of the enclosure itself. We also take into account what property may be near that should be moved or covered for protection. Our approach is to rinse all areas and plant life nearby prior to using any chemicals in the areas. We coat the screen enclosure from all angles gently with our cleaning mixture and let it dwell to soften and remove webs, mold, and mildew from the support beams and screens.
After applying our solution, we rinse surrounding areas again for good measure while the solution dwells. After the solution has sat long enough to dissolve the mold and dirt, a good rinsing flushes all organic material off the screen enclosure to allow a fresh and crisp enclosure to come to life. After ensuring all areas are properly rinsed, we make sure to leave everything in order as it was before we ever showed up and leave behind a freshly-cleaned screen enclosure for you to enjoy!
Patio & Deck Pressure Cleaning Service in Local Kissimmee, FL
The pool deck on the other can be cleaned with pressure but will vary depending on the material and whether it is painted or not which is the case when doing driveway cleaning. Many patios here in Florida are fitted with concrete, tile, or pavers. While pressure can be used on all, less pressure is used on tile and concrete laid for pool areas, especially when painted. Cleaning this type of flooring is similar to driveway cleanings but with additional attention to condition and flooring type. A pre or post treatment is also often used to kill the mold and remove the dirt and bring the floor to a brighter and fresh state. If you are in need of freshening up your screened pool deck or patio area or an entire house wash, give us a call or reach out to us via our live chat feature below!
Wood & TREX Deck Cleaning
Wood patio decking requires a different approach to cleaning. Wood can be in all sorts of conditions and is assessed before beginning a cleaning process. Our goal is to make your wood deck look as close to new condition as possible so that it can be ready for any other project you may have planned for your deck. In addition, we want to remove all organic material so that it is safe as decks can become slippery when wet and covered in mold.
In all instances, low pressure is used to avoid furring the surface of the wood and cleaning is done with light pressure and with specific chemicals. After rinsing all the wood or Trex decking, a mild solution is applied to destroy mold and soften dirt that is attached to the surface. Sometimes a light scrubbing is necessary on deck to loosen the dirt. A solid and even rinsing is then necessary to remove all dirt and organic material.
On wood decks a follow up solution is applied that removes rust stains and brings up the rich color and grain of the wood. We then rinse off the wood after some dwell time has been allowed. In all cases, a clean deck is very enjoyable, appealing, and inviting.

Frequently Asked Questions
People Also Ask:
How do I clean my pool enclosure screen?
Pool enclosure screens can be sprayed down with a soap or detergent and could be brushed lightly and then rinsed if you are trying to clean it yourself. Rinsing with a hose will suffice but do not apply too much pressure to avoid pushing the screens out of position.
How do I get rid of mold in my pool enclosure?
Any mold killing agent will work when removing mold and can be found in big box stores. Mold does stick to porous surfaces easier and requires higher concentrations and dwell times in such cases. Be sure to be careful with certain painted surfaces and plants when using mold killing agents and be sure to wear eye protection as well and breathing protection as these chemicals are harmful and should be respected.
How do you clean a metal pool enclosure?
Metal enclosures are cleaned in the same manner as others. Most enclosures are made out of aluminum. A detergent or soap can be used and scrubbed onto screens lightly. Be sure to take into account certain paints when using chemicals to clean pool enclosures. If you are not sure, test a spot with a chemical you are considering using.
How do you clean a lanai frame?
Mold killing chemicals in addition to light soaps can be used to clean lanai frames. Be sure to test chemicals on spots and not to scrup frames too hard as you may have oxidation which will look unsightly once scrubbed as it will leave the surface uneven.
How do I get rid of spider webs in my pool enclosure?
You can spray soaps and detergents using your pressure washer or other methods which helps break down the connection to the walls and screens. Then good water pressure should finish bringing down the webs.
How do you remove oxidation from aluminum pool cage?
Oxidation is the result of failed paint. It can be visible and looks like faded paint or a chalky dusty residue on your fingers when wiped off. It fails over time in the weather and can either be scrubbed completely off with certain professional chemicals which can be time consuming or with other professional chemicals that allow for application and rinsing. Oxidation should be removed prior to repainting a surface.
Can you power wash screens?
Screens should not have high pressure applied to them as they can be torn or ripped out of position especially with brittle and oxidized screens that are old as they tear easily. Chemicals should be sprayed and allowed to dwell and then can rinsed off to remove dirt and pollen from screens.
How do you remove lichen & pollen from screens?
Chemicals that kill mold and mildew can be applied to kill the lichen and remove the pollen. Spraying detergents and soaps onto the screen can loosing the pollen but lichen will be stuck onto the screens and is more difficult to remove. The lichen may need some light scrubbing after the chemicals have been allowed to dwell and kill the lichen as it is organic.
