Florida's climate is brutal on pool cages and screen enclosures. The combination of intense heat, near-constant humidity, and year-round outdoor exposure creates the perfect breeding ground for algae, mold, and mildew to take hold on both frames and screens. Add in hard water stains from sprinkler systems, seasonal pollen, oxidation on aluminum, and the steady accumulation of dirt and organic debris — and it's easy to see why enclosures in Central Florida deteriorate faster than virtually anywhere else in the country. This isn't just a cosmetic issue. It's an ongoing battle that every homeowner with a screened pool area is fighting whether they realize it or not.
The problem with ignoring it is that the damage compounds over time. Algae and moisture trapped against aluminum frames accelerate corrosion, weakening the structural integrity of the enclosure. Screens become discolored, brittle, and prone to tearing. Hard water deposits etch into surfaces and become increasingly difficult — and expensive — to remove the longer they're left untreated. Beyond the structural concerns, a grimy, green-tinted enclosure drags down the appearance of your entire backyard and, ultimately, your property value. For Central Florida homeowners who use their outdoor living spaces year-round, a neglected pool cage isn't just an eyesore — it's a liability.
Our pool cage and screen enclosure cleaning service is a comprehensive top-to-bottom treatment designed specifically for Florida's conditions. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach — because screens and aluminum frames require different methods to get clean without causing damage. Screen panels are treated with a low-pressure soft wash technique, using controlled water pressure and professional-grade, surface-safe cleaning solutions that break down algae, mold, mildew, and oxidation without stretching, tearing, or weakening the mesh. Forcing high pressure through screen panels is one of the most common ways they get prematurely damaged — it's something we never do.
For the aluminum framework, we apply targeted pressure washing at the appropriate PSI to cut through built-up grime, hard water deposits, pollen, and biological growth that soft washing alone won't fully remove. Every component of the enclosure gets attention — screen panels, vertical and horizontal frame members, base tracks, and the floor or concrete pad of the enclosure. If your cage connects to a lanai, covered patio, or outdoor living area, we clean those surfaces as well so the entire space looks uniform when we're done. The cleaning solutions we use are eco-friendly and biodegradable, meaning they're safe for your pool water, surrounding landscaping, and pets — no harsh chemicals that linger or cause runoff damage. The result is an enclosure that's not just visually clean, but treated in a way that slows the return of algae and mildew growth so you stay cleaner, longer.

A professional pool cage cleaning does more than just improve the way your enclosure looks — it changes the way you actually use and enjoy your outdoor space. When algae, mold, and years of built-up grime are removed, natural light floods back through the screens, making your entire pool area feel brighter, more open, and genuinely inviting again. Beyond the aesthetic, you're also eliminating mold and algae that can pose real health concerns for your family — especially in the warm, humid conditions Central Florida creates year-round. Regular professional cleaning extends the life of both your screens and aluminum frames by preventing the corrosion and deterioration that come from neglect, protecting you from costly repairs and premature screen replacement down the road. And for homeowners who care about property value, a clean, well-maintained enclosure makes an immediate impression — boosting curb appeal and signaling to buyers that the home has been properly cared for. Bottom line: when your pool cage is clean, you actually want to spend time out there. No grime, no embarrassment, no putting it off — just your backyard, the way it was meant to look.

For most homeowners in Clermont and Central Florida, a professional pool cage cleaning once or twice a year is the sweet spot. You may need more frequent cleaning if your home is surrounded by trees, near a body of water, or in an area with higher humidity levels — all very common in Lake County. Florida's year-round heat and moisture mean algae, mold, and pollen never really take a season off. If you're noticing green or black buildup, don't wait for your annual cleaning — the longer it sits, the harder it is to remove.
This is one of the most common concerns we hear, and it's a fair one. The answer depends entirely on technique. High pressure can damage screens or frames, which is why we use low-pressure soft washing on the screen panels themselves and reserve higher pressure for the aluminum frame and base. We adjust our approach based on the age and condition of your screens. Older or standard fiberglass mesh is more delicate than newer polyester or super screen material, and we treat each enclosure accordingly. You can trust that we won't blast a hole in what we're hired to clean.
Most residential pool cage cleanings take between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the size of the enclosure, how much buildup has accumulated, and whether the lanai/patio area is included. Larger enclosures with heavy algae or oxidation buildup may take longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when we come out for your free quote.
We clean the full enclosure — screens, aluminum frame, base/floor, and any attached lanai or patio area. A pool cage is made up of both screen panels and the surrounding aluminum frame structure, and both need attention. Dirty frames corrode faster, and skipping the frame while cleaning the screens leaves the job half done. If you'd like to add paver restoration or driveway cleaning while we're there, we can bundle that in too.
That green, black, or brown film is almost always a combination of algae, mold, mildew, and pollen. Mold and algae thrive in moist, warm areas where you may find pollen or spores — and Florida pool enclosures are perfect for that. The humidity, shade from the screen material, and warm temperatures create ideal growing conditions year-round. Hard water stains and oxidation on the aluminum frame add to the dingy appearance over time. It's not a sign that anything is wrong with your enclosure — it's just Florida being Florida.
Professional pool cage cleaning in Florida typically runs $100 to $400 or more, with the price varying based on factors like enclosure size, height and accessibility, and the extent of dirt, mold, or algae buildup. At Branom Power Washing, we price every job individually because no two enclosures are the same.
