What’s y’all process for pool screen cleaning? I have gotten like 3-4 in the past couple weeks and frankly don’t know what I’m doing, tried to find a good thread on it and couldn’t find much.
@garry.cooper or @florida_condo_cleani y’all probably see them a lot what’s your process?
As of now I’m using 2-3 % sh and rinsing but there’s still stuff left up there after I’m done
Treat it just like a house wash. .05 percent.
2-3 percent is way to much. You could damage the screens and paint if your not carful .
Spray the cage itself with your zero degree soap nozzle. Wait them spray the area’s again that haven’t came clean. You can also use the same nozzle to agitate the stubborn areas while applying the soap .
Use a low pressure 15 or 25 degree nozzle on the screens .
Don’t forget to do both sides .
Rinse well when you done
Do over promise. Don’t expect to remove moss.
The pressure to remove Moss is higher than the pressure to tear a screen . We never use more than a 15040 nozzle to clean a cage or screen. Just remember pressure will quickly cause damage
I gotcha thanks a lot. Wasn’t seeing great results with hw mix so I upped it a bit. I was able to get it relatively clean hitting both sides and then hitting it with a medium pressure rinse with my ball valve.
Wasn’t sure if it’s something I’m gonna have to brush in the future because I’ve only done 2-3 in my short career but got a bunch all of a sudden
At the very least this can help someone down the road as I was hard pressed to find much info about it with a quick search
Hey Billy, do you guys even have any screen enclosures down there…lol
Every single house.
If we didn’t we wouldn’t have any residents. The mosquitos 
would carry them away
Screen rooms around here are basically what most people consider there back yard . They all have pools and kitchens/ TVs / thousands in furniture. I bet less than 10 percent of people ever open the screen door and step on there grass
We’re not too heavy on the McMansions here but I got in good with a HOA owner and every house has one on it, seem to come clean with a little patience but I’m definitely gonna have to charge more than I was
Just as reference because I don’t know what equipment you have but the average screen room / patio. Say 25x40 With pool Take about 30 minutes . If it’s has pavers it would be closer to 1 hour
Gotcha. Took me probably 2 for this one but it was with some trial and error and thick organic growth. I priced it at 125 should’ve done 200-225 imo
We get between $100-$200 depending on the size
Any advice on removing stuck pine needles . I use 0 degree size 25 nozzle, with 8 gpm. That increase damage possibility , specially on older screens.
Unfortunately the best remedy I know for pine needles is setting realistic expectations. You could spend 10 minutes and remove 90 percent of them but the last 10 percent could take hours
Turbo nozzles are awesome for breaking up pine needles but you have to be careful. I don’t use it on older screens. @florida_condo_cleani is right about setting expectations. I tell customers I’ll do the best I can but when it comes to pine needles there is a rather fine line between blowing them off and blowing a hole in the screen.
