Switch to the crevice tool attachment to vacuum the corners and edges of the screens.

Look for things like build up of mold and pollen that might be stuck to the screens.

Then, follow the next few steps, if needed.

From inside the porch, use a hose to rinse debris from each screen panel.

Direct the spray outward as you work your way across and down.

Use the lowest pressure setting and stand several feet away from the screen to avoid damage.

Mix a few squirts of milddish soapinto a bucket of warm water.

Dip a soft-bristled brush into the solution and gently scrub the inside or outside of the screen.

Again, work from inside the porch and spray outward.

Allow the screens to dry before returning furniture to your porch.
