After an extended period of disuse in the winter, many homeowners look forward to using their screen rooms during spring’s warmer weather. Chances are, however, that the screen and the room itself are quite dirty from exposure to the elements. Here are a few tricks that can help you get everything cleaned up so you can better enjoy this space.

Top 3 Screen Room Cleaning Tips

1. Clear the Area

You’ll have a much easier time cleaning the screen room if you get your furniture and decorations out of the way first. After several months outdoors, these items will also need to be cleaned. Wash or vacuum any fabrics and wipe down wood and plastic with cleaner and a damp cloth.

2. Rinse All Surfaces

Your next step is to rinse all surfaces of the screen room—the walls, the floor, and the screen itself. Start by using a hose to spray down these surfaces and wash off the bulk of the dust, pollen, and other debris. If you notice fungus or mold growth, spray these areas with a commercial cleaner to ensure their complete removal.

3. Dealing With Hard-to-Remove Screen Debris

For debris that seems truly stuck in the screens, a few simple cleaning hacks can do the trick. One solution is to brush the screen with a soft brush to break away any stiff clumps. Carefully vacuuming using the brush attachment can eliminate dust. For especially hard-to-remove gunk, consider using a pressure washer. Spray from inside the screen room, so you don’t create a new mess from your cleaning efforts.
