Pelican Bay Naples
Salt air oxidation on Pelican Bay pool cage aluminum frames is more aggressive than any inland Naples community. The chalky yellow-white discoloration is an oxidation problem, not a dirt problem — it requires aluminum brightener chemistry, not pressure washing.

Cycle
Pool cage aluminum oxidation is a normal maintenance issue throughout Naples — but in Pelican Bay, Gulf salt air accelerates the process significantly. The oxidation layer that forms on aluminum pool cage frames appears as a chalky white or yellow discoloration that pressure washing alone cannot remove. This is a chemical surface change in the aluminum oxide layer, not surface dirt. Treating it correctly requires aluminum brightener chemistry that dissolves the oxidized layer and restores the frame’s original color.
Pelican Bay pool cages in the western sections of the community — closest to the Gulf — develop visible oxidation faster than cages in inland Naples communities. Annual cleaning with oxidation treatment prevents the discoloration from advancing to the point where the frame would require recoating or replacement. Left untreated for multiple years, oxidation becomes progressively harder to remove and eventually requires professional recoating.
Beyond oxidation, Pelican Bay pool cage screens accumulate salt air residue and biological growth at a faster rate than inland communities. The cleaning sequence matters — frame and oxidation treatment first, then screen rinse at correct low pressure. High-pressure washing on pool cage screens causes tears regardless of whether the source is salt deposits or standard algae.
If your cage frames are chalky white or yellow and pressure washing does not remove it, that is oxidation — not dirt. Aluminum brightener chemistry dissolves it. Pressure washing alone never will. We identify oxidation on inspection and include treatment where present.

Soft Wash Application
Biodegradable soft wash solution applied at low pressure to the entire enclosure — frame members, tracks, corner joints, ridge, and door frames. Kills algae and mold on frame surfaces and screen mesh during dwell time.
Oxidation Treatment
Aluminum brightener applied to oxidized frame sections. The chemistry dissolves the surface oxidation layer and restores aluminum color. Applied and rinsed carefully to protect screen mesh and pool area below. This step is what distinguishes a proper Pelican Bay cage clean from a standard pressure wash.
Frame Rinse Top to Bottom
Full frame rinsed top to bottom before screens are touched. Any residue from frame treatment drips onto screens that have not yet been rinsed — wrong sequence produces streaks requiring a second pass.
Screen Rinse Inside Out
Screens rinsed from inside the enclosure outward at 100–300 PSI maximum with a wide fan tip at 18–24 inches. Inside-out direction pushes salt and debris through the mesh naturally. No tears, no bending at frame joints.
