I agree with Gracie - this is the 2nd summer for our outdoor rug on the lanai - makes it feel more like a room. No mold problems, just vacuum. Once in a great while just take everything off the lanai and give it all a good cleaning. (I'd be embarrassed to tell you how far apart between heavy cleanings).
I'm one of those people that really likes the screened lanai, doubt if I would ever enclose it. When it's cool or raining I absolutely love sitting in my comfy chair next to my reading lamp with a comfy afghan. I'm a porch person back in Ohio in the spring/summer/fall as well.
Not sure if I would want it in an open (no roof at all) birdcage area though, although it would probably be fine. I think I would try it if I already had it.
