I moved into a place with one very hazy window screen that is difficult to see through.
I have tried scrubbing it with a brush with soapy water and blasting it with the hose. But I cannot get rid of the hard material buildup. I even tried dipping a brush in CLR and scrubbing the screen.
When I Google how to clean a window screen, I just run across people telling me to do what I already tried. But I think the people touting these methods simply have screens with dirt in them.
This doesn’t seem like simple dirt buildup. I enclosed a close up photo of what it looks like.
I bet if I poked all of the holes individually with a toothpick I could clean it, but that would take eons. Any advice? Thanks.
Idk, directions I read online generally say to pop out the frame first so you can lay it flat and work with it easier. I was wondering if the inability to do so would make it difficult for a dumbass like me to not mess it up? Will it be tricky with such a large screen to do it without removing the frame? Forgive me I’m new to screen maintenance lol
This still makes no sense to me. Screens I see are held in a little metal frame. Removing the screen really means taking the whole little metal frame (which the screen in is) out of the windowsill. It should be somewhat easy to do that, the metal frame (which the screen is in) is held in with little tabs or something.
