blowing dust off screens

Wouldn't it be easier to remove them and wash them with detergent and water? While the screens are drying clean out the dirt in the window tracks.

Don't complicate the situation more. He could hang them over a clothes line and beat them with a straw broom.

Your tiny air compressor will turn this no-job into a big-job.

My window washer just takes out the screen (in order to get at the windows). He then uses a small dust-brush to brush the dust off the screens. Takes only a few seconds. Very satisfactory and fast.

He is alergic to water and brooms, the dishwasher would work.

I just use the blower position ono my shop vacuum and brush the screen while blowing out the window, I don't even have to remove the screen as long as the wind is in the right direction,

You'd do a lot better with a shop vac and a snow brush. At least, that's my guess. Or a brush tip for a vac cleaner hose.

Straw is so 19th century. He needs a plug in Elektrik Broom from the 1950s.

I would suggest a shop vac with a brush attachement to lossen the dust and capture it so it does not redoposit.

Try a leaf blower. It that ain't good enough use a pressure washer.

The volume of air your compressor supplies is probably in the neighborhood of 2 - 3 cubic feet per minute (cfm). You would need about 8 -10 cfm, the volume supplied by a 50 gal shop compressor. Yours just won't handle what you propose. KC

Hi, I'm new here and can't help much with major repairs, but cleaning screens is easy. I put them in the bath tub, spray a little of your favorite cleaner on them, then hit them with the shower spray hose. Takes only a few seconds per screen. Then I wipe the bottoms and place them right back in the windows, they're dry in minutes.

Trying to clean them with air or a brush is way too messy, dust flying everywhere. Hot water spray in the bath tub is the way to go.

I'm really enjoying this group and learning a lot.

Welcome Denise...That is how the wife taught me how to clean screens as well....Works slick......Maine here....We're almost neighbors...LOL... ; )

Coat the screens with peanut butter and let the local critters clean them for you. PLUS you get free entertainment - it's a Win-Win!
