I need suggestions! It rained the other day and the outer door was open, the screen got wet. Well, desert dust now shows up as big muddy spots and drippy looking streaks on the black screen. What type of cleaner or solution should I mix up to clean the screen. I guess I will take the garden hose, and with the door open spray it. I don't want it to look spotty when I'm done(as it does now). Should I vacuum it first before wetting it? All suggestions are appreciated..thanks Dona

Just use warm, soapy water with a soft brush and rinse with hose while door is open agains the side of coach. Plenty of rinse water should hve it looking good again. JMHO

You can use plain water and a micro fiber towel.

I clean our screens with water and paper towels. I use a very wet paper towel and wipe the screens on both sides. Fold the towel in quarters and wipe, refold and wipe some more. I keep doing this until a paper towel doesn't have dirt on it any more.

I just use a sponge and bucket of soapy water, wipe both sides then repeat with bucket of clean water.

We take our screen door off and then scrub it. That way we can get both sides.

Thanks for the reminder...time to do ours! (groan!!!)

cleaned the screen door yesterday, plain water and brush and micro fiber towel-didn't work well(it was really dirty). Then used Fantastic with oxy power, and the towel, followed by garden hose-looks good now.Thanks for all the suggestions. That desert dust from Quartzsite was a tough one..Dona
