Patio + Lanai Soft Wash – St. Augustine, FL
A Soft Wash Solution to Restore a Mold-Stained Outdoor Space
Karen reached out to AJM Soft Wash Plus L.L.C after noticing her lanai screens and brick patio were covered in green algae and black mildew from the humid spring season. Located in St. Augustine, her home is surrounded by trees and shade, which created the perfect environment for mold growth. She needed a gentle cleaning solution that would protect her screen enclosure while removing the stains from the brick pavers and frames.
Our Approach
After inspecting the lanai structure and surrounding patio, we recommended a low-pressure soft wash treatment for both the enclosure and hardscape. We used a biodegradable cleaning solution to kill mold and algae at the root and soft rinsed all screen panels, frames, and paver joints without damage. We also hand-treated a few heavily stained spots around the base for a more uniform finish.

Why It Mattered
This wasn’t just about appearance — the mold buildup was beginning to degrade the screen mesh and stain the brick. Our service not only made the space visually appealing again but also helped protect the structural integrity of the lanai and patio. Karen was preparing to host family, and she wanted the area looking its best — without risking any damage.
The Result
By the time we completed the service, Karen’s lanai and patio looked brand new. The screens were clear, the pavers vibrant, and the space was safe, clean, and ready for guests. She was thrilled with the results and relieved the work was done professionally without harsh pressure or shortcuts.
