2 Ways to Clean Your Dirty Window Screens
Window screens are great for keeping bugs out and allowing fresh air into your home, but all that ‘fresh’ air actually has a lot of dirt in it which sticks to your screens and gets into your window tracks (especially if you live near a construction site) . They need to be cleaned once in a while and we’re here to help with 2 easy methods.
No matter which method you use, don’t place your cleaned screens back into dirty windows. Clean them up first: see this article. Once your windows and tracks are cleaned, place the screens back in.
Method 1
What you’ll need:
- Dawn Powerwash® (or blue Dawn® dish soap)
- Microfibre cloth
Directions:
1. Remove your window screens. Beware: the plastic tabs can become very brittle so be gentle with them.
2. Place screens in a bathtub or shower, preferably one with a removable shower head for easy rinsing.
3. Liberally spray Dawn® Powerwash on both sides of the screen. (If you are using blue Dawn®; fill a bucket with hot water and a generous squeeze of Dawn®. Then use a cloth to spread the soapy water over both sides of the screen.)

4. With a cloth, gently wipe the entire window screen including the edges.
5. Rinse well using your removable shower head or a bucket of water.

6. Carefully put the screen back into the window casing.
Method 2
What you’ll need:
- 1 Gallon hot water
- 1 Tsp powdered Tide®
- Microfibre cloth
Directions:
1. Remove your window screens. Beware: the plastic tabs can become very brittle so be gentle with them.
2. Place screens in a bathtub or shower.
3. Mix up a batch of our hot water and powdered Tide® recipe (1 gallon of hot water and a teaspoon of powdered Tide®).
4. Using a very wet cloth with hot water and Tide®, wipe the screens thoroughly on both sides.

5. Rinse well using your removable shower head or a bucket of water.
6. Carefully put the screen back into the window casing.

Comment link below and I’ll send you the link for the Zing and the brush attachment. The Bissell Zing is one of my favourite vacuums that comes in under $100 in both Canada and the US. You cannot beat this price for the suction and power this thing packs. It’s light weight enough to carry around, lift up high (or low) to get into hard to reach places, and the filter is washable, the canister is easy to empty. I pair it with the hair brush (you have to order it separately!) for dusting baseboards, bathrooms, shelves, basically everything. This vacuum is for hard floors only: It does not have a beater bar for carpets. Only downfall it has is that the cord is a little short and the stick floor attachment sometimes falls out so you have to ram it in there. For under $100 you can’t have it all but honestly this is as close as it gets for me.

Sneaky surprise clean for my Mom for Mother’s Day! She deserved this so much, she has scrubbed a lot of houses with me over the years. Many of you may not know this but my Mom has tagged along and helped with cleaning and training the team since day one. She knows the entire team inside and out and we all love to call her “Mom”. She taught me how to clean, how to run a business and most importantly, how to stand on my own two feet. Then I took everything she taught me and turned it into ✨ THIS ✨
