For maximum airflow efficiency screens do need to be cleaned regularly so that they remain free from dirt, dust, and insect debris. For this reason, panels or smaller sliding-type screens are designed to be easily removed, cleaned in a standard solution of detergent and warm water, and then rinsed off and air-dried. The mesh is designed not to corrode or shrink, so this type of cleaning is ideal. The powder-coated frames can then be easily wiped over using a damp cloth. Larger sliding screen doors will need to be cleaned ‘in situ’ using similar methods described above. Alternatively, roller-type screens are best cleaned ‘in situ’ using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
