An aluminum pool enclosure is more than just functional—it enhances the look, comfort, and usability of your pool area. In Florida’s humid, outdoor environment, regular cleaning is essential to prevent buildup from dirt, pollen, salt, and mineral deposits.
At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we help homeowners protect their investment by keeping aluminum pool enclosures clean, strong, and visually appealing year-round.
To clean an aluminum pool enclosure, remove loose debris, wash with mild soap and water using a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and dry to prevent water spots.
You’ll need:
Avoid abrasive tools or harsh chemicals.
Use a soft broom or brush to remove leaves, dirt, and debris from the enclosure. This prevents scratching during washing.
Mix mild soap with water in a bucket. This solution effectively breaks down grime without damaging the aluminum finish.
Dip a soft-bristle brush into the soapy water and gently scrub the aluminum enclosure framing. Focus on visibly dirty areas while avoiding excessive pressure.
Rinse all surfaces with clean water. If using a pressure washer, keep it on a low setting to avoid damaging screens or seals.
Tracks and joints collect dirt easily. Use a soft cloth or old toothbrush to clean these areas thoroughly.
For mineral deposits or stubborn spots:
Dry the aluminum with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and streaking.
