Lanai cleaning in Aqualane Shores.

A pool cage on a Naples Bay canal is a very large filter sitting a few feet from moving brackish water. Salt lands in the mesh and stays, mixed with pollen and the damp that canal air never lets go of, and because the panels grey out evenly nobody sees it happening — they just notice one season that the water view through the cage is not what it was.

Our lanai cleaning does the whole room rather than one surface. Screens soft washed in place at a pressure mesh survives, framing and beams cleaned including the top faces where salt and debris settle, floor washed to the surface, and the kickplates, tracks, and corners detailed by hand. The corners and the kickplate line are where the black actually establishes first.

Salt in the frame channels is not only a look problem — it holds moisture against the aluminum and speeds corrosion at the fasteners and spline, so clearing it periodically buys years on a cage this close to the water. The deck itself is pool deck cleaning. More on the area in Aqualane Shores.
