Clean Porch and Patio Screens
Porch and patio screens can be lifesavers during the spring. They allow you to enjoy the warm breeze, without having to deal with all the little critters that are lurking around. But like all of your other outdoor accessories, they need some TLC.
First, vacuum the surface. Then, wipe it down with soapy water using a sponge. We also suggests using a bleach solution to fight fungus and mold.
The second way is the pressure washer method if you have access to this equipment.
Generally, normal rainfall is sufficient to keep its appearance clean. If cleaning is required, we recommend the following steps. Particular attention should be given to areas under eaves, porches, awnings, and other overhangs that have limited exposure to the natural cleansing effect of rainfall.
Care & Maintenance Aluminum
1) For moderate dirt – An occasional washing with clear water using a garden hose and soft-bristled brush is recommended (a long-handled, car-washing brush is ideal for this purpose).
2) For a heavier dirt accumulation – Wash in the manner indicated above, but use the following solution:
- 1/3 cup detergent (e.g. Tide®)
- 2/3 cup trisodium phosphate powder (also known as T.S.P.)
- 1 gallon water
3) Mildew accumulation – Mildew can collect on surfaces of all types of building products and is often evident on surfaces that have not been properly
maintained. Normally, mildew will appear as black spots. Mildew is easy to remove by using the following cleaning solution:
- 1/3 cup detergent (e.g. Tide®)
- 2/3 cup trisodium phosphate powder (also known as T.S.P.)
- 1 quart sodium hypochloride 5% solution (e.g. Clorox®)
- 3 quarts water
