Insect screens
How to clean an insect screen?
Here’s how to clean and take care of your insect screen in five easy steps.
1) To start, spray compressed air onto the guides and on the mesh to free them from dust.
2) Use a brush, like a paintbrush, for example, to remove any particles remaining after spraying with the compressed air, brushing gently to avoid damaging any parts.
3) Brushing and spraying with compressed air only partially remove dust and dirt. For even more thorough cleaning, it is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner. First, vacuum the guides with the appropriate nozzle attachment, then the mesh with the brush.
4) With a cloth soaked in warm water and mild detergent, proceed in cleaning the insect screen profiles and mesh. Take care once again to be gentle and not use too much pressure.
5) Cleaning is important, as well as maintenance. That’s why it can be useful to grease the mechanical parts of the insect screen with a silicone spray lubricant or Teflon to help these maintain their fluid and uniform movements.
