# Lanai & Pool Cage CleaningAvalon Park

A new pool cage in Avalon Park gets dirty in ways that surprise first-time pool owners: construction dust from nearby building, lovebug season twice a year, and orange sprinkler stains on a big, bright deck. This page covers how we clean new screens and decks safely and how often a 70-foot-lot lanai needs it.

## 🏊 How New Lanais in Avalon Park Get Dirty
Dust · Lovebugs · Mildew · Sprinkler Rust
Pulte built Avalon Park on 70-foot lots, and the extra width usually goes to the back yard. That means larger pool decks, wider lanai slabs and bigger screen enclosures than in many Ave Maria neighborhoods. More screen and more flat deck means more surface collecting dirt, and on a new home, owners are often surprised how quickly a bright white cage starts to look grey. While the last Avalon Park home sites are built out, fine dust from neighboring lots drifts onto screens and settles on new pool decks.

The main reason is dust. Ave Maria is still growing, and with new phases, roads and open lots nearby, fine soil blows across Avalon Park on dry days. Screen mesh catches it like a filter. Once the dust is on the screen, humidity and dew turn it into a film that holds mildew spores, and the cage darkens from the bottom panels up. The deck below collects the same dust and turns slick when it mixes with algae in shaded corners.

Then there are lovebugs. Southwest Florida has two lovebug flights each year, typically in late spring and again in late summer, and inland neighborhoods near open land see heavy swarms. They stick to screens and frames, and their bodies are acidic enough to mark finishes if left for weeks. A cleaning after each season keeps them from staining the frame coating.

Irrigation causes the orange stains you may already see on the pool deck, lanai pavers and the base of the cage. Water with iron in it leaves rust-colored marks wherever a sprinkler head hits hard surfaces, and on a light-colored paver or travertine deck those marks are obvious. They are mineral stains, so pressure won't remove them; they need a rust remover made for pavers and concrete, applied after the deck is cleaned.

New screens are in good condition, and we want to keep them that way. The mesh on most pool cages is vinyl-coated fiberglass that stretches or tears under a narrow, high-pressure stream. We wash it with a mild solution, use a soft brush where needed, and rinse from the inside out at no more than 300 PSI with a wide fan tip. Frames get the same low-pressure approach so the new powder coat isn't scuffed. New screens and frames are easy to damage with the wrong tools: a pressure washer held close stretches mesh out of its spline and can mark new aluminum. Our screen rinse stays at low pressure, so new mesh stays tight in its frame.

Pool decks get a surface cleaner at controlled pressure, which cleans evenly without the stripes a hand wand leaves. Paver joint sand is easy to blast out on a deck that hasn't been sealed yet, so we keep pressure down near joints and can re-sand afterward if needed. If you plan to seal the deck, cleaning first is required, and sealing a new deck once it has cured helps lock the sand in and slow staining.

For most Avalon Park lanais, every 6 to 12 months is right. Homes backing onto open land or active construction see dust and lovebugs sooner and may want two cleanings a year, timed after each lovebug season. Homes facing a lake or with shade from a neighbor's two-story wall tend to grow mildew on the shaded side first, so we spend more time there.

**What changes the price.** Cage size is the main factor. A compact spa cage on a smaller plan is at the low end, a standard pool cage is the most common job, and the large enclosures that wide Avalon Park lots allow move into the large-cage tier. Two-story cages are harder to reach. Adding the deck floor, treating rust stains, and how long since the last cleaning also affect the quote, which is always written and given before we start.

**Choosing who cleans it.** Ave Maria has no shortage of trucks offering quick pressure washing, and on a new home the risk is someone running a high-pressure tip across your screens and paver joints. Ask what PSI they use on screens, whether they use a surface cleaner on the deck or a hand wand, how they treat rust, and whether they carry insurance with a certificate they can send you. Clear, specific answers are a good sign.

Before we arrive, move small items you don't want handled, turn off any irrigation zone that sprays onto the deck for the day, and keep pets inside. Your pool service doesn't need to change anything; we keep cleaning water out of the pool where we can, and the amount that reaches it won't upset the chemistry in a meaningful way. If you're a new owner, we can also add the lanai to the written maintenance schedule we prepare for the roof and pavers.

Builder Punch ListCleaning a new cage often shows small issues: a loose screen spline, a missing screw cap, a door that drags. **We'll note and photograph them so you can send them to Pulte under warranty.**

## 📄 Our Lanai Cleaning Order for New Homes
Cover · Frames · Screens · Deck · Stains
Step 1
### Cover and Clear
Furniture comes off the deck, the grill and any outdoor TV are covered, and pool equipment and young landscaping beside the cage are protected.

Step 2
### Frames and Gutters
Top rails, gutters and frame corners are washed first at low pressure, removing dust and lovebug residue so it can't drip onto clean screens. This is also when we check for loose screw caps and splines. Frames, cage gutters and corner joints are soft washed so dust and webs come off before we touch the screens.

Step 3
### Screens Inside-Out
Screens are cleaned with a mild solution and rinsed from the inside at 300 PSI or less, which pushes dirt out through the mesh without stretching it.

Step 4
### Deck Surface Clean
The pool deck and lanai slab are cleaned with a rotary surface cleaner at controlled pressure, keeping pressure low along paver joints. Shaded corners where algae makes the deck slick get extra attention, since a slippery deck is a safety issue around the pool.

Step 5
### Rust Treatment and Rinse
Sprinkler rust is treated with a paver-safe rust remover, everything is rinsed, furniture goes back, and you get photos.

After Lovebug SeasonLovebug residue is easiest to remove within a few weeks. **Book a cleaning soon after each swarm ends** and the frame finish stays clean.

## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Lanai & Pool Cage Cleaning · Avalon Park

### How do I get lovebugs off my pool cage?
A mild wash and low-pressure rinse removes them. Rinsing the screens with a hose every week or two during the swarms makes the professional clean easier.
### Can you remove orange sprinkler stains from my pool deck?
Yes. They're iron stains. We treat them with a rust remover made for pavers, then talk with you about adjusting heads so they stop hitting the deck. See [rust stain removal](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/rust-stain-removal-naples/).
### Should I seal my new pool deck?
Once the pavers have cured and been cleaned, sealing helps hold joint sand and resist stains. Our [pool deck sealing](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/pool-deck-paver-sealing-naples/) uses a slip-resistant finish.
### Will you damage new screens?
No. We stay at 300 PSI or less on screens and rinse from the inside out with a wide fan tip.
### Can you clean the roof the same day?
Yes; see [Avalon Park roof cleaning](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/roof-cleaning-avalon-park-ave-maria/). Doing the roof first keeps runoff off the clean cage.
