How To Clean Fly Screens?

How to clean removable fly screens

• Most window coverings and fly screen doors are removable. In case they are filthy, remove them and put them outside for cleaning.

• Lay them down on a dry clean surface, or put them like a fence wall against an outdoor vertical surface if possible.

• Use a garden hose to rinse it gently. Avoid running excess water on it as it will pull the edges from their housings or stretch the fly screen.

• Use warm soapy water and a bristle brush to scrub the fly screens.

• Turn the screen on the other side and scrub it again.

• Rinse both sides thoroughly.
• Clean the tracks and window sills when the fly screens are away from the door tracks and the windows. The essential tools here are an old toothbrush, a vacuum cleaner with a narrow nozzle and a spray bottle full of water and detergent.

How to clean fixed security screens

The most challenging part of cleaning fixed security screens is to avoid letting too much water get into your floor and windows sills. Begin by laying towels on the window sills in the house and on the floor.

Go outside and wash then rinse the screens with a sponge and a bucket. Repeat this process inside. Wipe the inside of the screen with a damp cloth to get satisfactory results.

You can also hire a portable air compressor to clean the screens from a local equipment hire shop.
