Inside the Home

• 1). Vacuum the screen from the inside with a brush attachment. Make sure the suction is not so strong that it pulls the screen from its frame. If you do not have a suitable attachment for your vacuum, then use a duster or microfiber cloth to remove dust from the screen.
  
  
• 2). Pour 1 tsp. of dishwashing liquid into a quart-size spray bottle and fill the remainder of the bottle with hot water.
  
  
• 3). Place a towel on the window ledge to prevent damage from spray and splatters.
  
  
• 4). Spray the screen with the cleaning solution and wipe the screen with a soft cloth to remove dirt and grime.
  
  
• 5). Fill a bucket with warm water and rinse the screen with a soft cloth saturated with the water. Rinse the screen several times to ensure you've removed all the soap from the screen.
