Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Soapy water
Sponge
Scrub brush
Garden hose
Towel

Step1

Soak the window screen thoroughly. Use the garden hose or load up the window washing sponge with water and rub it all over the screen.

Step2

Use a scrub brush dipped in your soapy water and run it along the entire surface of the screen. Don't push so hard as to tear the screens, but apply enough pressure to remove any debris on the screen.

Step3

Clean the corners and the edges of your window screen with your scrub brush and soapy water.

Step4

Rinse off the window screens by spraying them with a garden hose.

Step5

Tap the screen several times with a towel to knock off excess water. Start at the top of the screen and tap the water down to the bottom. Then, use the towel to wipe down the screen to completely dry it off.

Step6

Repeat this process on every window that has an unremovable window screen.
