Pollen Screened Porches

17 years ago

Does anyone have any tips about how to best (read easy)clean up the heavy yellow pollen that has gotten on everything? Most especially screened porch that can not be hosed down.

I figure I will vacumn what I can and mop wipe down the rest. Just wondered what others do about this mess.

Our screened lake house porch gets COVERED in pine tree pollen. We hose it - sorry you can't do that. It's still a heck of a lot of work, but at least it's not "precision" cleaning --- haha! We just blast away & in a couple of days, everything is dry and the porch isn't humid......
