I have a large screen room, out back that some call a birdcage. My Florida Oak tree is near it and it's making everything turn green, the screens, glass top tables, hot tub cover, pavers. I'm constantly power washing every thing but when I power wash the screens, which I have to do lightly, I still have streaks of green all over it. Any suggestions on how to clean my window screens?
You can protect them with some glass windows until pollen season is over.
Howdy Sindy!! Yes you can clean that green stuff off most hard or metal things with a squirt bottle ... a couple cupfuls of bleach and the rest water ... spray it on your screens and you can scrub them with a broom and leave it for a minute or two then spray it off ... be sure to work in small sections on all you clean so it doesn't dry before you can get to it ... if you are working with material ... like the umbrella ... use a squirt bottle of hot vinegar ... spray it on and again leave it for a minute or two then spray it off ... you might want to think about scotch guarding your stuff (yes even your screens) that will help ... good luck!
Try Spray9. It's a marine cleaner for boats. I've used it on my patio furniture that was stained with mildew and it worked great. Very little scrubbing. I sprayed it on, let it sit for few minutes and wiped it off with a brush. I hosed it down to get the residue off. Just make sure you get the kind sold at a marina supply store not the kind at home depot. There is a difference.
Hey Sindy ... that should have been capfuls not cupfuls ...
sorry about that
Use a leaf blower. My sister cleans out her car with one, my mom cleans off her screened in porch with one. I plan on blowing out my garage this weekend with one (to get rid of spiders, sand, gravel, kids socks, etc...).
To the person that said bleach and water will that kill the grass when I hose it off on the outside?
