A porch with screen doors and walls offers an idyllic way to enjoy Hawaii’s beautiful weather without being bothered by mosquitoes, flies, or other insects. If you have a screened porch, cleaning it on a regular basis will help ensure your space remains as enjoyable as possible. Now that the dry season has arrived, you may want to add these three key steps to your porch cleaning checklist.   

3 Steps for Cleaning Your Screen Doors & Porch

1. Clean the Floor

First, move the furniture and clean the flooring. You may want to use a shop vacuum to remove dirt and debris, and a mop to clear grit and grime. For a truly heavy duty clean, consider using a pressure washer, which can make even the dirtiest surfaces sparkle.  

2. Hose Down the Mesh

Coat the screens in this solution with a rag or by simply pouring it on them. Then, use a hose on a gentle setting to remove the soap and force dust, dirt, and debris out from the holes. You can also use a soft-bristled brush to remove built-in material.

3. Clean the Furniture

Even with the protection of the screen, over time, your outdoor furniture will still inevitably accumulate dust, pollen, and other material. When you move it back to its proper place, thoroughly vacuum every cushion, chair, and crevice. You may want to wash pillow and cushion covers, or at least remove them and vacuum on all sides.
