How To Remove Window Screens For Washing
Taking the time to remove and clean window screens makes a huge difference to how clean your windows look. You could have the cleanest, most sparkliest window panes on the planet….but if they’re behind dirty window screens, you’d never know.
But how do you remove those pesky screens from the iron grip of the window frame? If you’ve ever tried the ‘just yank it out’ method, you’ll know there’s slightly more finesse involved, unless you don’t mind a bent up, completely pointless window screen that’s been turned into a bug freeway.
Window screens are generally installed in the grooves around your window and use tension to stay in place. So you have to break the tension to be able to remove them. At the same time, you want to make sure you’re not going to damage your window frame , which can be a very costly mistake.
Follow these simple steps to remove your window screens:
Open the window all the way.
Grab the small tabs on the screen and pull them both toward you and also toward the center of the screen. This will break the tension that’s holding the screen in place.
Now you need to gently tilt or pivot the screen so it’s easier to remove from the frame.
Once the screen is free of the window frame, set it to one side gently, especially if you’re going to be reusing it.
And that’s it! It really can be just that simple. If you want to know how to wash your window screens, read our simple steps in How To Clean Window Screens.
