Cleaning and Mildew Care

Gentle cleaning for fabric, tracks and housings, with simple steps to prevent pollen, dirt and mildew from building up.

Tennessee gives screens a lot to deal with: yellow spring pollen, summer humidity, falling leaves and autumn dust. Dirt can clog mesh and reduce airflow and view, and damp, shaded fabric can grow mildew. Regular gentle cleaning keeps screens clear, fresh and long-lasting.

We clean with soft brushes, mild soap and plenty of rinse water, avoiding pressure and harsh chemicals that can damage fabric or finishes. We also clean tracks and housings, clear drains and check for places where water collects. We show you how to do light cleaning yourself between visits and when it is best to call us. Timing matters for cleaning. Doing it just after peak pollen, before humid summer sets in, and again in late fall before storage or winter gives the best results with the least effort. We also check that drain holes in housings are clear, because trapped water is a common starting point for mildew that spreads across the fabric.

Gentle methods

Soft brushes and mild soap lift dirt without damaging fabric. High pressure and strong chemicals can harm both fabric and coatings, so we avoid them.

Mildew prevention

Mildew grows where fabric stays damp. Letting screens dry before rolling up, and cleaning shady spots, helps prevent it.

Tracks and housings

Dirt in tracks causes noise and wear. We clean them and clear drain holes so water can escape.

Easy home care

A garden hose, soft brush and mild soap are all you need for light cleaning. We share a simple spring routine.
