Pool Screen Enclosure Cleaning in St. Johns, FL
Your pool enclosure is one of the first things people notice in your backyard. Unfortunately, Florida’s humidity, rain, oak trees and year-round pollen allow algae, mildew and mold to quickly grow on aluminum pool cages and screen panels. At The Pressure Kru, we specialize in professional pool enclosure cleaning in St Johns FL using commercial soft washing equipment designed specifically for delicate screen enclosures. Our process safely removes years of organic buildup without damaging aluminum frames, painted finishes or screening material.
Why Pool Enclosures Get Dirty So Fast in St Johns
Florida provides nearly perfect growing conditions for:
- Green algae
- Black mildew
- Mold
- Tree pollen
- Spider webs
- Dust
- Airborne organic debris
Homes located beneath oak trees or near wooded preserves typically experience faster algae growth than homes in open neighborhoods.
Without routine cleaning, these contaminants continue spreading across both the aluminum framing and screen mesh.
Our Pool Enclosure Soft Washing Process
Unlike companies that rely on high-pressure washing, our professional pool enclosure soft washing process safely removes algae, mildew, mold, pollen, and dirt without damaging screens, aluminum framing, or painted surfaces.
Step 1: Inspect enclosure
Before cleaning, we inspect the entire pool enclosure for:
- Screen condition
- Aluminum Frame Oxidation
- Loose fasteners
- Damaged screen panels
- Existing paint issues
- Areas of heavy algae or mildew buildup
Step 2: Apply professional cleaning solution.
We apply a professional cleaning solution that penetrates and eliminates algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria at the root instead of simply blasting the surface with high pressure. This provides a deeper, longer-lasting clean while helping protect your pool enclosure.
Step 3: Allow Proper Dwell Time
The cleaning solution remains on the surface long enough to break down organic growth before rinsing. We treat BOTH sides of the screens. This is where many companies cut corners. Cleaning only the outside leaves dirt trapped inside the screen mesh. For the best results we chemically treat both sides whenever necessary.
Step 4: Low-pressure rinse
Using low-pressure high volume water, we rinse away loosened contaminants which in-turn protects your aluminum framing, paint, and screen mesh from damages.
Step 5: Final inspection
We perform a final walkthrough to ensure your pool enclosure is thoroughly cleaned and ready to enjoy.
Why Soft Washing is Better Than Pressure Washing
Many homeowners assume pool enclosures should be pressure washed.
In reality, excessive pressure can:
- Damage screen mesh
- Bend aluminum members
- Remove paint
- Force water behind fasteners
- Shorten enclosure life
Soft washing removes algae through chemistry instead of force, providing a deeper clean while protecting your enclosure.

Recommendations before hiring a Professional
Spend 5 minutes and blast ALL of your screens with a leaf blower on its highest setting! Blowing your screens with a leaf blower will instantly reveal detached and/or pre-existing torn screens. Often times screens look fully intact when in fact they are not. We recommend this for your peace of mind before hiring a professional.
