Clean Steel Mesh Home Screens
Steel mesh screens on your home's doors and windows allow fresh air and sunlight into your home while keeping out insects or other small intruders. Screens can build up dirt and dust over time, and when the door or window is open, the particles can blow into your home. Extremely dirty steel screens can limit air flow if the mesh is clogged with debris. Clean your steel mesh screens at least once a year to keep them working efficiently and looking their best.
