How to Clean Screen Enclosures

Screen enclosures provide the perfect barriers between the outdoors and the patio area, without blocking the room from the sunshine and cool breeze. A screen lets nature in while keeping out the pests, but they do get dirty and require occasional cleaning. Screen enclosures are made strong for resistance against animal claws, but not so strong that if you were careless, you could damage the screen, so while cleaning the screens it is important to go easy.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Soft bristle brush
• Dish soap
• Bucket
• Sprayer

1. Scrub your screen enclosure with a soft bristle brush.

2. Use dish soap or another type of a mild detergent and water mix.

3. Move the scrub brush up and down and side to side gently.

4. Spray the screen enclosure with a hose until all of the soap is rinsed off.

5. Shake off the majority of the water by snap-drying the screens. Let them air dry.

Tips & Warnings
