Dirty screens make your home appear…dirty clean screens make your home feel and look clean.You can’t see very well from a window covered with a dirty screen.Birds also tend to leave droppings on window screens (don’t ask how they manage that!).Birds sometimes grab onto your window screens with their claws and talons (probably to grab bugs)-and you don’t want to know where their little feet have been.Insects tend to land and get caught in your screens, maybe they’ve spun webs, and sometimes they die on your screens resulting in old carcasses that partially disintegrate.Oxidized metal screens can damage windows by permanently etching the glass over time you can hire a glass restorer to try to fix the costly problem.Dirt- and mud-saturated screens, mixed with rainwater, make the glass on your windows dirty.Rain dampens screens and attracts mold and mildew build-up.Breezes blast dirt, pollen, and allergens past your screens and into your home disrupting interior air quality.I also want to note that even though the sprays definitely help keep the screens fresher and cleaner longer, a regular seasonal wash with soap and all the jazz is still a must.Here are a few benefits to cleaning your window screens, whether they are made out of metal or nylon mesh: And my nose is definitely happier now that I incorporated such cleaning into my daily routine -))) It takes me no more than three minutes to do all five windows in the house. Once I’m done spraying all the windows I come back and spray them over again with the essential oil solutions – it washes off the soda with the dirt and leaves the essential oil to protect the screens from any microbial growth.

Every night when I open the windows I first spray the screens with baking soda which dissolves all the dirt and dust. Then I shake both bottles up very well – especially the baking soda one to make sure soda dissolves nicely in water. I take two spray bottles and fill one with two cups of water and baking soda, and the other one – with the remaining two cups of water and a few drops of essential oil.
