Solar Screen Maintenance: Keeping Your Screens in Top Shape

Maintaining Your Solar Screens in Arizona

Solar screens are built to withstand Arizona's harsh desert climate, but proper maintenance ensures they perform at their best and last for years.

Regular Cleaning Schedule

We recommend cleaning your solar screens:

• Light cleaning: Every 2-3 months
• Deep cleaning: Twice per year
• After dust storms: As needed

DIY Cleaning Tips

1. Remove screens carefully from windows
2. Rinse with a garden hose to remove loose dust
3. Use mild soap and soft brush for stubborn spots
4. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely
5. Reinstall ensuring proper fit

Signs Your Screens Need Attention

Watch for these indicators:

• Visible tears or holes in mesh
• Bent or damaged frames
• Faded appearance or sun damage
• Screens not fitting properly
• Reduced effectiveness (more heat getting through)

Repair vs. Replace

Minor repairs can extend screen life:
