Pool Cage CleaningWinter Park, FL
The algae film clouding your screens and the black streaks down the roof panels won't rinse off with a garden hose — and a pressure washer will shred the mesh trying. We soft wash pool cages and screen enclosures all over Winter Park, from the historic streets off Park Avenue to the lakefront pool homes ringing the Chain of Lakes, lifting off the algae, oak leaves, Spanish moss and cobwebs so the screens read clear again. The frame and spline are cleaned along with the screens.
Why the Method Matters
Cleans Without Blasting the Mesh
High pressure can stretch the screen mesh or loosen the spline. We apply the cleaning solution at low pressure and rinse the enclosure carefully.
Clears the View
Algae, mildew, dirt, and cobwebs can leave the screens looking cloudy from the lanai. Cleaning the mesh and frame makes the enclosure look brighter and easier to see through.
Cleans the Whole Enclosure
We clean the frame, door, corners and kick plates, not just the easy-to-reach mesh.
Loosens Buildup Before Rinsing
A garden hose may move loose dirt, but it does little for buildup attached to the frame and screens. The cleaning solution loosens it before the enclosure is rinsed.

Why Winter Park Homeowners Trust Us With Their Pool Cage
A screen enclosure has a hard life under this canopy. The live oaks that shade the streets drop leaves, Spanish moss and pollen on the roof panels, the humidity coming off the Chain of Lakes keeps the mesh damp, and the deep shade feeds algae year-round. A clear cage turns into a streaked, hazy box fast — green film climbing the panels, black tiger-striping down the roof screens, cobwebs and lovebug residue strung in every corner. Most owners stop seeing it until a guest walks out to the pool and notices. Cleaning it fixes that, but the method matters.
The method we use is a soft wash. We apply a cleaning solution that kills and breaks down the algae, mold and other organic growth on the mesh, frame and roof panels, then rinse it away, along with the oak debris, at low pressure. The solution does the cleaning, so the rinse can stay light and the screens, spline and aluminum never take the kind of high pressure that tears mesh and leaves panels sagging. That's how the enclosure gets its clear view and airflow back.
We're a local, owner-operated crew rather than a franchise, and we regularly serve Winter Park. We know these streets: the deep oak shade, the big enclosures on the lakefront estates, and the appearance standards the historic district and the boards hold you to. Licensed and fully insured in Florida, 150+ five-star Google reviews, and a satisfaction guarantee: if something within the agreed scope was missed or isn't up to our standard, we'll come back and make it right.
What We See on Neglected Cages Here:
- Green algae film creeping across the screen panels
- Dark mildew tiger-striping running down the roof screens
- Oak leaves, Spanish moss and pollen collected on the mesh
- Cobwebs, lovebug residue and wasp or mud-dauber nests in the corners
- Corroding aluminum and fasteners where growth has sat too long
Hard surfaces are a different job — the pool deck inside the cage and your driveway need real pressure, which falls under our pool deck cleaning in Winter Park, and the whole home exterior is soft washing territory. Or see every community we cover on our service areas page.
Property Assessment & Firm Quote
In most cases, we can price your enclosure remotely without scheduling an onsite estimate. We size the cage by panels and stories, then provide a firm quote — usually within 1–3 business hours.
If we can’t accurately assess the property remotely, we’ll arrange an onsite visit. Once your quote is approved, your price won’t change unless the scope of work changes.
Schedule Your Service
Pick a day that works for you. We confirm the appointment ahead of time, make sure we'll have access to the pool area, and text you when we're on the way.
Care Around the Pool and Landscaping
Before we apply the cleaning solution, we move, cover or work around nearby items as needed and pre-wet the plants, grass and beds around the cage to reduce their exposure to overspray and runoff. We work carefully around the pool equipment and the pool itself, keeping overspray and loosened debris out of the water as much as we can, though a little can still reach it.
Apply the Soft-Wash Treatment
We apply the appropriate cleaning solution to the aluminum frame and screen panels at low pressure. The solution kills algae and mildew while loosening dirt, debris, and cobwebs before a careful low-pressure rinse.
Rinse the Frame and Screens Carefully
The whole cage gets a gentle low-pressure rinse to carry the dead growth, oak leaves, moss and cobwebs away. On screens the rinse is always light — never the high pressure that tears mesh out of the frame.
Detail and Final Walkthrough
We detail the frame, door and trim, check the enclosure for missed spots and rinse the plants again. If you're home, we walk the finished cage with you. We take and send before-and-after photos with every job so you have a clear record of the completed work, and if you're a remote owner, they let you see the results without being there. You don't pay until the job is complete and you've had a chance to review the work.
Every pool-cage cleaning is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If we missed an area, let us know and we will return to take care of it.
Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing
The one thing to get right on a pool cage is the pressure. We never pressure wash a screen enclosure: the force that cleans a brick-paver driveway can tear screen mesh and pop the spline out of the frame in seconds. We soft wash it instead. Here's how the two methods compare.
Soft Washing
The cleaning solution breaks down the algae, mold, mildew and organic growth on the mesh and frame. Then a gentle low-pressure rinse carries the solution, cobwebs and loosened grime away.
- Low pressure on the mesh, not the force that tears or stretches it
- Gentle rinse along the spline and frame channel
- Cleans without the high pressure that can bend, pit or scratch the aluminum frame
- Treats the growth itself, helping the cage stay cleaner longer than a basic water-only rinse
Why Not a Pressure Washer?
On concrete a pressure washer is the right tool. On screen mesh and the rubber spline that holds it in the frame, here's what high pressure can do:
- Tears screen mesh right out of the frame
- Stretches panels until they sag and never sit tight again
- Blows the spline out of the frame channel
- Bends and pits the aluminum frame and uprights
- Drives grime deeper into the mesh instead of rinsing it
- Turns a cleaning into a re-screening bill
What We Clean on Your Winter Park Pool Cage
A complete cleaning is more than the screens you walk past — we clean every part of the enclosure, panels, frame, door and all, top to bottom.
Screen Panels
The walls you look through to the lake. We strip the algae film, pollen and cobwebs so you're looking at the water again, not a hazy, spotted screen.
Roof Screen Panels
The panels overhead take the worst of it — oak leaves and Spanish moss collect there and the black tiger-striping starts there. We soak and rinse them until the roof reads clear instead of stained.
Aluminum Frame & Uprights
Algae holds moisture against the aluminum, and that's how a frame starts to corrode. We clean and detail every post and beam, not just the screen between them.
Screen Door
The door is what everyone touches on the way to the pool. We clean the frame, hinges and handle so the entry looks as finished as the rest of the cage.
Kick Plates
The lower kick plates catch every splash, mower clipping and mud stain. We bring them back to the base so the bottom of the cage isn't dragging the rest down.
Super Gutter Face
The wide channel where the cage ties into the house streaks with algae just like the panels. We clean that face so no grimy stripe crowns the whole enclosure. Need the inside cleared so it drains right? That's our gutter cleaning in Winter Park — easy to add in the same visit.

Why Screen Enclosures Struggle in Winter Park
Winter Park is a rough place to keep a screen enclosure clear, and it comes down to the trees and the water. The live-oak canopy that makes this town beautiful drops leaves, Spanish moss and pollen on every roof panel under it, and it throws deep shade that keeps the mesh damp long after the rain stops. Add the humidity rolling off the Chain of Lakes — Lake Osceola, Lake Virginia, Lake Maitland — and algae, mold and mildew feed on all of it. The roof screens take the worst; that's where the dark tiger-striping comes from, and where oak debris and cobwebs collect. Growth isn't just ugly, either: left on the mesh and aluminum, it traps moisture against the frame and fasteners.
Soft washing is the method we use on a screen cage, and choosing the wrong method is an expensive mistake. A pressure washer is the right tool for a driveway and the wrong tool for screen mesh. High pressure tears and stretches the mesh, blows the rubber spline out of the frame channel, and can bend or pit the aluminum. Once the spline is out, the screen sags, and now you're paying to re-screen the whole cage instead of cleaning it. So we let the cleaning solution do the work: it kills and breaks down the algae, mold and organic growth, and a light low-pressure rinse washes the solution, oak debris, cobwebs and loosened grime away, restoring the visibility and airflow the enclosure lost. The chemistry cleans; the pressure only rinses.
What sets this area apart is the lakefront. The estates ringing the Chain of Lakes — around Isle of Sicily, the Vias, Interlachen — carry big two-story enclosures over their pools, and those large cages under heavy oak cover collect the most debris and grow algae fastest. Historic-district and association appearance standards near Park Avenue expect a clean, cared-for look, and the newer pool homes out toward Aloma, Goldenrod and Olympia want the same clear screens. The pool deck inside the cage is a hard surface, so pair the screens with our pressure washing in Winter Park and we'll handle both in one trip, or add whole-home house washing in Winter Park.
