How can I keep my mosquito nets in perfect condition?
Mosquito screens require a little ongoing maintenance, even if it’s minimal, but it must be done regularly.
It’s important to keep them clean to prevent long-term wear and tear or major causes such as dust buildup and, consequently, allergy symptoms.
1. Water and neutral soap.
If you can remove them, it’s best to run them under a pressurized water tap with soap or let them sit for a few minutes. If you can’t remove them, use a sponge soaked in water and neutral soap to scrub them gently.
2. Soft brush or toothbrush
If the first step didn’t convince you and you’re still seeing a lot of dust, you can use a soft clothes brush or even a toothbrush and scrub all the accumulated dirt along the vent. Yes, you heard right—this is an effective trick for achieving a perfect finish, as the firmness and fineness of the brush’s bristles allow you to reach every corner. If the vent is very dirty, you can use a little ammonia or degreaser for a more effective cleaning.
3. Damp cloth
To finish the other steps above, it’s best to wipe the entire screen with a damp cloth or rag. Rinse the cloth several times until the water runs clear. Also, clean the window frame and surrounding area before replacing the screen. You can let it air dry for a couple of hours and then replace it.
