Birdcage floors get dirtier because dirt collects on the top screen and falls in. You need to have the floor painted with a special paint that makes it easy to hose down. We have had ours done three times. Recently Steve Kling painter used a new product that is a huge improvement. He said we were one of the first to have it. I would call Steve Kling and ask what finish he put on the Bloom house in the birdcage.
Also, screens do need replacing from time to time. From windstorms, or getting old or from the sun.
All being said, love having the birdcage as we can be out without bugs bothering us. Lots of people these days are also putting roofs on so they can be out anytime. The roofs are nice. We just happen to like the open sky look, but at least there are options and the roof makes it more year round unless the rains are really falling and then it comes in from the sides.
