Minneapolis screen cleaning

What professional screen cleaning actually involves.

Window screens are the most overlooked part of your windows. They collect pollen, dust, pet hair, cobwebs, and insect residue all season long, and all of that buildup restricts airflow and makes your windows look dirty even after they have been cleaned. Most Minneapolis homeowners try to rinse screens with a garden hose, but that just pushes debris deeper into the mesh without actually removing it. Professional screen cleaning uses a combination of hand scrubbing, gentle detergent solutions, and controlled rinsing to fully remove embedded dirt without stretching or damaging the screen material.

Our Twin Cities screen cleaning process starts with careful removal of every screen from its window frame. We catalog the location of each one so they go back in the right spot. Every screen gets hand-washed individually, and the frame itself gets wiped down and inspected for bends, cracks, or seal issues. After cleaning and drying, we reinstall each screen in its original position. The difference in airflow and visibility is immediate.

Screen cleaning is one of the best services to bundle with interior or exterior window cleaning. There is no point in having spotless glass if you are looking through a dirty screen. Most of our Minneapolis area customers add screen cleaning to their window cleaning appointment for a complete result that actually lasts.

Included with every clean

Everything that comes with our screen cleaning service.

Individual screen removal

Every screen is carefully removed from its window by hand. We label and track the location of each screen so they go back exactly where they came from. No mixing up sizes, no forcing screens into the wrong frames.

Hand washing

Each screen gets individually hand-scrubbed with a soft brush and a gentle detergent solution that breaks down embedded pollen, dust, and grime without stretching or damaging the mesh. This is not a garden hose rinse. This is a proper deep clean.

Frame cleaning

The screen frame itself collects just as much grime as the mesh. We wipe down every frame, clean out the corners where debris accumulates, and make sure the frame is straight and in good condition before reinstalling.

Damage inspection

While each screen is out of the window, we inspect for tears, holes, bent frames, broken clips, and worn spline. If we find damage, we document it and let you know what needs repair or replacement. No charge for the inspection.

Controlled rinsing and drying

After scrubbing, each screen gets a controlled rinse with clean water and is set to air dry before reinstallation. We never put wet screens back in your windows because trapped moisture leads to mold and mildew growth on sills.

Precise reinstallation

Every screen goes back in its original window, properly seated and secure. We check the fit and function of each screen to make sure it latches correctly and sits flush in the frame. Your windows should look complete when we leave.

Why hire professionals

Why Twin Cities homeowners choose professional screen cleaning.

Better air quality

Dirty screens trap pollen, dust, and allergens that get pushed into your home every time you open a window. Professional screen cleaning in the Minneapolis area removes these contaminants and improves the air quality flowing through your home during spring and summer.

Fully insured

Our screen cleaning technicians carry full liability insurance protecting both themselves and your property. Screens are fragile and easy to damage if handled improperly. Our team knows how to remove, clean, and reinstall without causing harm.

Complete results

Clean windows behind dirty screens still look dirty. Professional screen cleaning is the missing step that makes your entire window cleaning investment actually visible. Most Twin Cities homeowners who add screen cleaning say it makes the biggest visual difference.

Extend screen life

Regular professional cleaning prevents the buildup of corrosive debris that degrades screen mesh and frames over time. Minneapolis area homes deal with heavy pollen seasons, salt residue from winter, and insect activity that accelerate screen deterioration.

Minnesota pollen season is brutal on screens.

Between cottonwood in June, ragweed in late summer, and general tree pollen from April through September, Minneapolis area window screens take a beating every year. All that pollen embeds in the mesh and does not come out with a quick rinse. It restricts airflow, traps moisture, and creates a film on your glass that makes freshly cleaned windows look cloudy within weeks. Professional screen cleaning is the only way to fully remove seasonal pollen buildup from the mesh without damaging the screen.

Most homeowners skip screens. You can tell.

It is one of those maintenance items that people forget about because screens are designed to be invisible. But hold a dirty screen up to the light and you will see how much visibility you are losing. After a professional screen cleaning, the view through your windows is noticeably sharper and brighter. Twin Cities homeowners who add screen cleaning to their regular window maintenance say it is the single most underrated service we offer.

Our process

How screen cleaning works.

1Screen removal and cataloging
We start by carefully removing every screen from its window frame. Each screen is labeled with its location so it goes back in the right spot. We handle each screen individually to avoid bending frames or stretching mesh. For homes with dozens of screens, we use a tracking system to keep everything organized.
2Hand washing and scrubbing
Each screen gets laid flat and hand-scrubbed with a soft bristle brush and a gentle cleaning solution. We work the solution into the mesh to break down embedded pollen, dust, pet hair, and insect residue. This is a thorough hand cleaning, not a quick spray-down, and it is the only method that actually removes buildup trapped deep in the screen weave.
3Frame cleaning and inspection
While each screen is out of the window, we clean the frame, check for bends or cracks, inspect the spline that holds the mesh in place, and note any clips or latches that need attention. If we find damage, we document it and share it with you so you can make informed decisions about repairs.
4Drying and reinstallation
Cleaned screens are rinsed with clean water and set to air dry completely before going back in. We never reinstall wet screens because trapped moisture causes mold and mildew on your window sills. Once dry, every screen goes back in its original window, properly seated and latched.

FAQ

Screen cleaning questions

How much does screen cleaning cost in Minneapolis?
Screen cleaning pricing depends on the number of screens and their size. Most Twin Cities homes run between $3 and $8 per screen. The majority of our customers bundle screen cleaning with a window cleaning appointment, which gives you the best value and the most complete result. Request a free quote and we will give you an exact number for your home.
How often should I have my screens cleaned?
Once a year is the minimum for most Minneapolis area homes, ideally in spring after pollen season peaks or in fall before you close up for winter. If you have pets that press against screens, heavy tree coverage, or notice reduced airflow through your windows, twice a year is worth it.
Can you clean retractable or specialty screens?
Yes. We clean all screen types including standard removable screens, retractable screens, sliding screen doors, and specialty screen panels. If you have an unusual screen setup, just let us know when you request your quote and we will make sure our technicians bring the right tools.
Will you let me know if a screen is damaged?
Absolutely. We inspect every screen during the cleaning process and document any tears, holes, bent frames, broken clips, or worn spline. You will get a full report of anything that needs attention so you can decide what to repair or replace.
Do you repair or replace damaged screens?
