# How To Clean Lanai Screens

## Key Takeaways

- Soft wash solution penetrates lanai screen mesh and kills algae and mildew at the root, making the cleaning last longer than surface rinsing alone.
- High pressure stretches, tears, or blows thin screen mesh out of the frame channel — lanai screens must always be cleaned with low pressure only.
- Naples Pressure Washing prices lanai screen and frame cleaning starting at $149, which is 15–30% less than competition with no franchise fees or corporate overhead.
- Algae and mildew grow in the screen mesh weave due to Florida humidity, causing screens to darken and dull until killed with a soft wash solution and low-pressure rinse.

🌴 How To Clean Lanai Screens The Right Way in Naples FL
Soft Wash · Low Pressure · Mesh Safe

Lanai screens dull and darken in Naples because **algae and mildew grow right in the mesh** — Florida humidity feeds it constantly. Cleaning the screens means killing that growth in the weave without damaging the thin mesh or the light aluminum frame holding it.

The non-negotiable rule is **soft wash, low pressure.** Lanai screen mesh is delicate — high pressure stretches it, tears it, or blows it right out of the frame channel. The cleaning is done with a **soft wash solution** that breaks down the algae and mildew, and a **low-pressure rinse** that lifts it away.

The soft wash solution is what does the actual work. It penetrates the mesh and **kills the algae and mildew at the root** — which is why the screens stay clearer longer than if they were just rinsed off the surface. A surface rinse leaves the growth alive in the weave to come right back.

Done correctly — soft wash solution, low pressure, careful rinsing — Naples lanai screens come back bright, see clearly again, and the algae is dealt with at the source rather than just knocked off the top.

Lanai Screen Cleaning — Naples, FL

The Most Important Rule
Lanai screens are cleaned with a **soft wash solution and low pressure — always.** The mesh is thin and delicate; high pressure stretches it, tears it, or blows it out of the frame channel.

Soft Washing Lanai Screen Mesh — Naples

**1. Protect the surroundings.** Furniture is moved or covered, surrounding landscaping is wetted down, and any pool equipment is protected before the cleaning begins.

**2. Apply the soft wash solution.** A soft wash cleaning solution is applied across the screen mesh, penetrating the weave to break down the algae and mildew.

**3. Let the solution dwell.** The solution sits and works on the growth — the dwell time is what kills the algae at the root, so high pressure is never needed.

**4. Low-pressure rinse.** The screens are rinsed at low pressure, carrying away the dead growth and solution residue without stretching or tearing the mesh.

The whole process is built around the solution doing the work, not the pressure. There is no step in a lanai screen cleaning where high pressure on the mesh is the right call.

⚠️ What Ruins Lanai Screens
Common Naples Mistakes

Permanent Damage
### High Pressure
High pressure stretches, tears, or blows the thin screen mesh out of the frame channel. Screens must be soft washed at low pressure.

Doesn't Last
### Surface Rinsing Only
Just rinsing the screens leaves the algae alive in the weave — it comes right back. A soft wash solution kills it at the root.

Bends The Frame
### Aggressive Scrubbing
Hard scrubbing or leaning on the screens pushes against the light aluminum frame and can bend or warp it.

Makes It Worse
### Letting Algae Set In
Algae left to grow works deep into the mesh and becomes harder to clear. Regular soft washing keeps the screens from getting that far gone.

❓ Frequently Asked QuestionsHow To Clean Lanai Screens Naples FL
How do you clean lanai screens?Lanai screens are cleaned with a soft wash solution applied to the mesh, left to dwell so it breaks down the algae and mildew at the root, then rinsed at low pressure. The low pressure is essential — it lifts the growth without stretching or tearing the thin screen mesh.
Can you pressure wash lanai screens?No — lanai screen mesh is thin and delicate, and high pressure stretches it, tears it, or blows it out of the frame channel. Screens are cleaned with a soft wash solution doing the work and a low-pressure rinse only.
Why are my lanai screens dark or dingy?That darkness is algae and mildew growing right in the screen mesh — Florida humidity feeds it. A soft wash cleaning solution kills it at the root rather than just rinsing the surface, so the screens see clearly again and stay clearer longer.
Why do my screens get dirty again so fast after rinsing?If the screens were only rinsed on the surface, the algae is still alive in the weave and grows right back. A soft wash solution penetrates the mesh and kills the growth at the source, which is what makes the cleaning last.
How much does lanai screen cleaning cost in Naples?A standard lanai screen and frame cleaning starts at $149. Including the floor starts at $199, and larger enclosures and pool cages start at $299.
