Maintenance Tips

1. Regular Cleaning

• Dust Removal: Use a soft brush, handheld vacuum, or microfiber cloth to remove accumulated dust and dirt.
• Deep Cleaning: Occasionally, detach the screen (if possible) and wash it with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the mesh.
• Drying: Let the screen air-dry completely before reinstalling to prevent mold growth.

2. Inspection for Damage

• Check for small tears, holes, or loose edges.
• Inspect the frame and tracks for any signs of wear and tear, as these can affect the functionality.

3. Gentle Handling

• Avoid applying excessive pressure while cleaning or opening/closing the screens.
• Train family members or employees to handle the screens gently to avoid damage.

4. Lubricate Moving Parts

• If your mosquito screens have sliding or rolling mechanisms, lubricate the tracks with a silicone-based spray to ensure smooth operation. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.

Specific Maintenance Tips for Pleated Mesh Screens

1. Cleaning the Pleats

• Use a soft-bristle brush or compressed air to remove debris trapped in the folds.
• For thorough cleaning, extend the screen fully and clean each pleat gently with a damp cloth.

2. Maintaining the Tracks

• Clean the tracks regularly to remove dust, dirt, or small particles that may cause obstructions.
• Ensure the tracks are aligned properly and free from warping or bending.

3. Preventing Creases or Deformation

• When not in use, ensure the mesh is neatly folded to avoid permanent creases or deformation.

4. Inspect the Cords and Mechanisms

• Check for any fraying or slack in the cords used for the pleated mesh operation. Replace damaged cords promptly.
