Andersen recommends gentle cleaning for ordinary debris. Screen removal varies by product: consult the model guide and work only from a safely accessible position.

1. Check for torn mesh, bent frame and loose fasteners. Do not force a damaged screen.
2. Check window safety and, if the manual permits, remove the screen from a safe indoor position. Never lean outside an upper-floor window.
3. Gently lift loose dust with a soft brush or cloth, avoiding pressure on the mesh.
4. Clean the mesh and frame with mild soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh abrasives and pressure washing.
5. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, towel-dry the frame and let the mesh air-dry.
6. Inspect for deformation, reinstall by the model guide, and check its fit. An insect screen is not fall protection.
