Can I use my pool during or after cleaning?
Wait 30 minutes after we finish before swimming. Our solutions are pool-safe and biodegradable — a brief wait lets any residual rinse off the cage and deck into the surrounding landscape, not the water.

Tampa Bay Context
Why Florida Pool Cages Need Professional Soft Wash
Florida screen enclosures face unique abuse: salt air from the Gulf, pollen seasons that coat screens with a yellow film, algae feeding on aluminum frames in standing water, and oxidation that turns white frames chalky. Pressure washing screen enclosures destroys the mesh — soft wash is the only method that cleans without tearing screens or leaving aluminum pitting.
- Gulf Coast salt air causes aluminum oxidation and screen corrosion year-round
- Pollen season (Feb–April) deposits thick biofilm on all screen surfaces
- Improper pressure washing voids screen manufacturer warranties
- Clean pool cages keep insects and debris out of pool water year-round
What Comes Off
What comes off a screen enclosure
- Algae and mildew film on screen mesh, which cuts visibility long before it looks dirty
- Chalky white oxidation on aluminium frames and hardware
- Pollen biofilm, heaviest February through April
- Salt haze on coastal and waterfront cages
- Cobwebs, insect debris, and leaf litter packed into the cage gutter track

The Process
How a Sandbar cage cleaning runs
-
Screens and frame assessed
We look for already-torn panels, loose spline, and corroded fasteners, and point them out before starting. A screen that is already failing will not survive any cleaning method, and you should hear that from us first.
-
Pool and deck prepared
Pool-safe solutions only. Surrounding deck and planting are wet down before we start.
-
Soft wash, never pressure
Frame and panels are treated with low-pressure application. High pressure tears mesh and pits aluminium — it is the single most common way a cage gets damaged by a cleaning company.
-
Frame, panels, and gutter track
The whole enclosure gets covered, including the cage gutters where the debris that feeds regrowth collects.
-
Full rinse down
Everything is rinsed, including the deck around it. Pool downtime afterwards is typically around thirty minutes.
Realistic Expectations
What to expect afterwards
The change most people notice first is not colour, it is clarity — how much more you can see through the screen. Cages generally hold up well between cleanings; the ones that regrow fastest sit under tree cover or directly on the water.

Questions
Pool Cage Cleaning FAQs
Will cleaning extend the life of my screen panels?
Yes. Algae, lovebug residue, and mineral deposits are mildly acidic and break down screen fiber over time. Annual cleaning prevents early failure and keeps the mesh clear so you can see through it again.
Can you pressure wash a pool cage or does it need soft wash?
Screen panels need soft wash and a gentle rinse only — pressure tears mesh. Aluminum frames tolerate moderate pressure for oxidation and heavy deposits. We adjust for each surface on every job.
How often should I clean my pool cage in Tampa Bay?
Most enclosures need cleaning every 12–18 months. Homes near the Gulf or under heavy tree cover may need it annually. Lovebug seasons (May and September) are the worst for screen residue buildup.
How much does pool cage cleaning cost in Tampa Bay?
Most Tampa Bay enclosures run $200–$600 depending on size and condition. A standard screened lanai takes 2–3 hours. Free quote within 24 hours.
