Dirty window screens block views and reduce airflow. Regular cleaning maintains visibility, improves ventilation, and extends screen life. For best results, clean screens annually (or more often in dusty/windy areas).
What You’ll Need:
Soft-bristle brush (avoid stiff brushes to prevent damage)
Garden hose with spray nozzle
Mild dish soap or 50/50 vinegar-water mix
Bucket of warm water
Sponge
7 Easy Steps:
Remove screens – Carefully take them out, noting their original positions.
Mix cleaner – Use soapy water or vinegar solution.
Rinse lightly – Spray with a hose to remove loose dirt (avoid high pressure).
Scrub gently – Use a soft brush dipped in cleaner, refreshing the solution if dirty.
Rinse again – Wash off all soap residue.
Dry thoroughly – Shake off excess water and air-dry in sunlight, flipping halfway.
Reinstall – Place screens back securely in their original frames.
For quick touch-ups, a lint roller or duster works, but deep cleaning with water yields the best results. Follow these steps yearly for clear, long-lasting screens!
