We all know the importance of enjoying the outdoors while keeping pesky bugs and debris at bay in Florida. Our screened enclosures play a crucial role in maintaining a comfortable and bug-free living space. However, like any other part of our homes, screens require regular maintenance to ensure they stay in top condition throughout the year. In this blog post, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive Seasonal Screen Maintenance Checklist, brought to you by our team at Rescreen Rescue, your trusted partner for rescreening and screen repair services in Florida.
Monthly Screen Inspections
Conduct a visual inspection of your screens each month. Look for any visible damage, tears, or loose edges. Addressing minor issues promptly can prevent them from turning into more significant problems.
Bi-Monthly Cleaning
Clean your screens every two months to remove accumulated dirt, dust, and pollen. Use a soft brush to gently clean both sides of the screen. Regular cleaning not only enhances the appearance but also improves the effectiveness of the screens. Ask us about “soft wash” pressure washing.
Quarterly Frame Check
Every three months, inspect the screen frames for stability. Tighten screws and replace any damaged frame components, hurricane cables, and door hardware to ensure the structural integrity of your screens.
Annual Deep Cleaning
For optimal screen maintenance, performing an annual deep cleaning is essential. Using a mild detergent and water solution can effectively remove stains, but for a thorough clean without risking damage, we recommend “soft wash” pressure washing. This gentle yet highly effective method lifts dirt and grime while preserving screen integrity, ensuring they look as good as new and last longer. Reach out to us for expert guidance on incorporating soft wash pressure washing into your maintenance routine and keeping your screens in top condition.
Annual Seal and Weather-Stripping Inspection
Perform a yearly inspection of the seals and weather stripping on your screens. It’s crucial to replace any worn-out or damaged components promptly to ensure optimal functionality and longevity, safeguarding your investment for years to come.
As Needed Repairs
Address any issues promptly as they arise. Whether it’s a small tear, a loose corner, or a damaged frame, immediate attention can prevent further damage and extend the life of your screens.
