A screened porch is a lovely place to be, whether it is unseasonably warm or perfectly chilly. If you are in the mood to sit out on your screened porch, it will be far more pleasant if it is clean, free of pollen, dirt, and dust. It can take a lot of work to keep it immaculate all the time; follow these tips to keep a screened porch clean to make it easier.
Clean Routinely
Keeping a routine makes doing any task easier. One way to go about it is to deep clean your porch twice a year. For smaller cleaning jobs, you can keep the routine to seasonally, monthly, or weekly. It can help just to tidy up the place when you see fit as well.
Wash All Fabrics Routinely
Do you have porch furniture with fabric coverings or any fabric window coverings? These fabrics can trap a lot of dirt and stains, even though they are built for outdoor use. Washing them up once a year will make your screened porch feel and smell much cleaner.
Clean the Furniture Thoroughly
Patio furniture themselves also need cleaning. Given that they are outdoor furniture, you can start by removing them from the porch and hosing or wiping them down. If you have wood furniture, like teak tables and chairs, you can rub them down with a sealer to protect and make them shine.
Sweep, Vacuum, and Wipe All Surfaces
It’s easiest to clean a porch when it is completely empty. That way, you can clean all surfaces thoroughly. You likely already know the drill: sweep the floor, vacuum the floor, screens, and other surfaces, and wipe, hose, or mop all surfaces. This job might take only an hour, and it will be well worth it!
Add Window Coverings
How can you keep the room from getting dirty all over again in the blink of an eye? Window treatments help! You can get creative with it; clear vinyl coverings, heavy outdoor curtains, or billowing tapestries are all options.
