Installing a screened porch on your property is an excellent way to enjoy the outdoors without exposing yourself to insects or unpleasant weather. Whether you already have a screened porch or you’re preparing to install one, the patio contractors at C & D Screen & Glass in Cincinnati, OH, has compiled a list of helpful tips for maintaining it. 

By following the advice of these experienced patio contractors, you can keep your screened porch clean all year-round, thus retaining its value and extending its life:

• Preparation: Before starting, go to your local hardware store and purchase a garden hose, vacuum cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, cloths, and a broom. You can begin the cleaning process by vacuuming the floor, dusting the ceiling fan, and relocating all furniture.
• Screens: To clean your screens, use your garden hose to spray debris out of the mesh slowly. Move from top to bottom, being careful not to miss any spots.
• Furniture: Next, use the garden hose to spray down your furniture. This will remove dust, pollen and any other debris that accumulates over time and affects air quality. Once you’re finished, use the multi-purpose cleaner and cloths to carefully wipe down all surfaces.
• Flooring: While your furniture and screens are drying, you can clean the flooring. If you have a rug on your floor, then place it on a fence and spray it down with the garden hose. For a deep clean, mop the floor and wait for it to dry before bringing the rug and furniture back.

Knowing how to properly clean a screened porch will encourage family members to utilize the space. For more care and maintenance tips, contact C & D Screen & Glass by calling (513) 851-8300 or visit them online to peruse their project portfolio.
