Window screen cleaning is a typically overlooked cleaning activity that is essential to improving your homes curb appeal and allowing you to see clearly out of your windows. When getting your windows cleaned it is also important to ask to get your window screens cleaned, not only for the reasons mentioned above but also to ensure your freshly cleaned windows do not get dust and grime from your screens onto them shortly after they have been cleaned.

Our unique approach combines the use of advanced technology and traditional methods to deliver spotless results.

Cleaning window screens is fairly simple, yet time consuming. First, it takes a while to harmlessly remove all the screens from your windows. The key is to take your time and ensure each screen is handled with care to ensure that no screen is punctured, bent, or broken. This can be achieved through careful prying with plastic tools and/or allowing our specialists to remove the screen from the inside of your home – we always take our shoes off when entering your home. Once the screens are removed and gathered, we use a few different methods to clean them. We usually like to start with the standard water hose gun and use maximum pressure with the flat spray setting to effectively and efficiently agitate and remove and loose dirt, dust, and grime from the screens. Next we use a mix of water, dish soap, and a splash of vinegar to soak a window cleaning mop and we water load the screen and scrub the screen to clean and remove any mineral deposits and dust from the screen itself. Finally we scrub the screens’ top, bottom and sides to ensure there is no grime, dirt, and dust left on the screen housing. This ensures the screen come out totally clean. 

Clean window screens offer numerous benefits, including enhanced visibility and improved air quality. Regular cleaning also extends the lifespan of your screens, saving you money on replacements. In Salt Lake City, where dust and pollen are prevalent, maintaining clean screens is essential for a clear view and fresh indoor air.

The ideal time for cleaning window screens is during mild weather conditions. Spring and fall are generally the best seasons, as temperatures are moderate and pollen levels vary. Avoid cleaning during extreme heat or cold, which can make the task more challenging and less effective.

• A soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment
• Mild soap or a specialized screen cleaner
• Buckets
