How to Clean Pool-Cage and Pool-Enclosure Screens
What is the easiest way to clean accessible pool-cage screens?
Use Screen Magic to clean accessible pool-cage screen mesh in place. Apply the product to a microfiber towel or T-bar sleeve, wipe it evenly over the dry screening and let it dry naturally. No scrubbing, pressure washing or rinsing is required for this application.
A pool cage, pool screen enclosure or screened pool lanai can have many fixed mesh panels. Work panel by panel on screening you can reach safely, using an applicator to control where the product goes.

How to use Screen Magic for this job
Choose panels you can reach safely
Start with accessible, dry screen mesh. Remove heavy loose debris if needed. Do not climb on the cage or screening to reach overhead panels.
Control application near the pool and deck
Put Screen Magic on the towel or T-bar sleeve. Keep product off surrounding painted surfaces and cool-deck finishes; the official directions warn that overspray can leave visible marks on these surfaces.
Wipe the screening evenly
Apply the product across one accessible panel at a time with even strokes. Keep pressure light so the mesh stays in place.
Allow the panels to dry
Let treated screens dry naturally. The Screen Magic application does not require a pressure washer or water rinse.
Screen mesh and the rest of the enclosure
This guide is for cleaning and refreshing screen mesh. Algae or mildew treatment, oxidized metal framing and pool-deck cleaning are separate tasks; these instructions do not claim that Screen Magic disinfects or kills mold or algae. High or overhead panels may require a professional with suitable access equipment.
Questions about this cleaning job
Can I clean pool-enclosure screens without pressure washing?
Yes. For accessible screen mesh, apply Screen Magic with a microfiber towel or T-bar sleeve and allow it to dry. No pressure washer is required for this method.
How do I clean high pool-cage screens?
Arrange safe access before choosing a cleaning method. Do not climb on the cage or lean over the pool to reach a panel. Have a professional handle screening beyond safe reach.
Can I spray Screen Magic over a cool-deck pool surface?
The official directions say not to spray the product on cool decks, asphalt or most paints because marks can remain visible. Use controlled wipe-on application on the screen and follow the product label for protecting nearby surfaces.
