# Lanai & Pool Cage CleaningAqualane Shores

On a canal lot in Aqualane Shores, the lanai is where the house meets the water, and it takes the most salt. Screens grey over, aluminum frames chalk, and the shaded ceiling mildews. Here is what we do about each, what it costs, and what to check before anyone puts a wand near your screens.

## 🏊 What Salt Water Does to an Aqualane Shores Lanai
Salt Film · Oxidation · Mildew · Deck Stains
Few Naples neighborhoods put outdoor living space this close to open water. Aqualane Shores' canals run straight out to Naples Bay and Gordon Pass with no fixed bridges in the way, and the Gulf beach is a short walk west of most streets. The breeze that makes a canal-side lanai pleasant also deposits a fine layer of salt on every screen, frame and tabletop, and that layer pulls moisture out of the air and keeps surfaces damp. Salt dries back onto anything left wet with salt water, so every surface gets a final fresh-water rinse.

Damp, shaded surfaces are where mildew and algae start. On a pool cage that means the horizontal frame members, the corners where screen meets frame, and the lower kick panels near planting beds. Under a solid lanai roof it means the ceiling, fan blades and the tops of light fixtures. Left alone, the growth turns the enclosure grey-green and makes the screens look darker from inside the house, which is often the first thing owners notice. Outdoor kitchens, bar tops and ceiling fans add grease and dust to the mix, so we degrease cooking areas by hand and clean fan blades before washing the ceiling.

Aluminum reacts to salt and sun differently. Powder-coated and painted frames slowly lose their finish and develop a chalky white film that wipes off on your hand. That film is oxidation, not dirt, so a plain rinse doesn't remove it. It needs an aluminum-safe brightener applied at low pressure, then a thorough rinse. On a waterfront home it is worth also watching the screws, splines and fasteners: salt corrodes them faster than inland, and we note any that are rusting or pulling out while we work.

Screens are the easy thing to ruin. Most pool cage mesh is a vinyl-coated fiberglass that stretches and tears under a narrow, high-pressure stream. We clean it with a mild detergent and soft brush where needed, and rinse at no more than 300 PSI with a wide fan tip held back from the mesh. On older screens that are already brittle, we tell you before we start and clean even more gently, because a torn panel needs a rescreen company, not a wash.

Many Aqualane Shores lanais also have travertine, shellstone or pavers around the pool, and some run out toward the seawall and dock. Those decks pick up a different set of stains: dark algae in the shade, leaf tannin under palms and live oaks, and orange iron stains around irrigation heads. Each of those needs its own chemistry. Pressure alone can etch soft stone like travertine, so decks get a surface cleaner at controlled pressure and the stains are treated separately. Not every home here has a screened cage. Some newer estates have open loggias and covered terraces instead, and those get the same treatment for ceilings, columns and stone floors, without the screen work.

Because the pool, the canal and your landscaping are all a few feet apart, protection is part of the job. We use the mildest solution that will do the work, keep cleaning water out of the pool where we can and away from the seawall cap, and rinse plantings before and after. Outdoor kitchens, TVs, speakers and cushions are moved or covered. If you have a boat on a lift next to the lanai, we plan spray direction around it.

How often depends on exposure. A lanai that faces the canal and catches the prevailing breeze usually needs cleaning every 6 to 12 months to stay bright. One that is sheltered by the house or by mature trees may go a little longer but tends to grow mildew in the shade. Owners who are away for the summer often book a cleaning just before they return in the fall, so the lanai is ready when they are.

There's no mandatory HOA here and the neighborhood isn't gated, so scheduling is between us and you or your estate manager. Houses are close together on many streets, so we keep spray low and directed away from the property line, and we let next-door neighbors know if wind could carry mist toward their lanai or cars.

**Getting ready for the visit.** Before we arrive, it helps to bring in small valuables and electronics you don't want handled, run the pool pump on its normal schedule, turn off irrigation zones that spray into the lanai for the day, and leave the screen door and side gate unlocked. If a dog uses the lanai, plan to keep it inside until the deck has dried. That is all the preparation most homes need.

**What to ask any lanai cleaner.** Ask what pressure they use on screens, how they handle oxidized frames, whether they treat iron and tannin stains or just pressure wash over them, and whether they will protect your pool and outdoor kitchen. Ask for a certificate of insurance. A good answer to each is specific, and a cleaner who says they just blast everything is the one who tears screens.

Fasteners & RescreeningCleaning often reveals what dirt was hiding: rusted screws, loose splines and small tears. **We photograph anything that needs a screen or aluminum contractor** so you can get it fixed before the next storm season.

## 📄 Lanai Cleaning, Start to Finish
Clear · Ceiling Down · Screens · Deck
First
### Clear and Cover
Furniture, cushions and planters are moved off the deck. Outdoor kitchens, grills, TVs and speakers are covered, and pool equipment is protected before any solution is mixed.

Second
### Ceiling, Fans and Frame Tops
We work from the top down: lanai ceiling, fan blades, light fixtures, gutters and the upper frame members, so dirty water never drips onto areas already cleaned.

Third
### Screens and Oxidation
Screens are washed with a mild solution and rinsed at screen-safe pressure from the inside out. Chalky frames are treated with aluminum brightener and rinsed until the residue is gone.

Fourth
### Deck, Stains and Walk-Through
The pool deck is surface-cleaned at controlled pressure, iron and tannin stains are treated, furniture goes back, and we walk the space with you or send photos and notes.

Screen RuleA wand held too close or a turbo tip will tear vinyl-coated mesh in seconds. **On screens we stay at 300 PSI or less with a wide fan tip, every time.**

## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Lanai & Pool Cage Cleaning · Aqualane Shores

### Why does my pool cage look grey so soon after cleaning?
On a canal lot, salt film and humidity bring mildew back faster than inland. Rinsing the screens with fresh water every few weeks between professional cleanings slows it noticeably.
### Can you get the chalky white film off my frames?
Yes. That film is aluminum oxidation. We treat it with an aluminum brightener at low pressure; a heavy oxidation treatment is an add-on of $75 to $150.
### Will cleaning water go into my pool?
We keep it out wherever we can and use mild solutions. A small amount of rinse water reaching the pool won't upset your chemistry in any meaningful way, but we'll tell your pool service we were there if you like.
### Can you clean my travertine deck too?
Yes, at controlled pressure so the stone isn't etched. If you want it sealed afterward, see our [travertine sealing](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/travertine-sealing-naples/) page.
### Do you clean the roof at the same time?
Often. Many owners book the [Aqualane Shores roof cleaning](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/roof-cleaning-aqualane-shores-naples/) on the same visit, since runoff from a dirty roof re-stains a clean lanai.
