When people think of screen cleaning, they think of the mesh. But the frame around the screen and the sill below it hold as much grime, and they are the parts closest to the glass. On Ann Arbor homes, cleaning the frames and sills is what keeps the screen from pushing dust back onto clean glass.
Why frames matter
The frame holds the mesh, and its edges catch pollen, dust and the runoff from rain. A clean mesh in a dirty frame means the first breeze blows dust from the frame back onto the glass. Wiping the frames as part of the clean is what keeps the whole assembly clear, not just the mesh.
Why sills matter
The sill below the screen is where everything settles. Pollen, dust and water all run down to the sill, and a dirty sill is the source of a lot of the grime that ends up back on the glass. Clearing the sill as the screens go back in stops that cycle.
What the clean covers
A screen cleaning that includes frames and sills covers the mesh, the frame edges, the sill and the track the screen sits in. The screens are removed, washed and reinstalled, the frames are wiped, and the sills are cleared as the screens go back. It is one job, not three.
Planning the visit
Screen cleaning with frames and sills is usually done alongside window cleaning, so the glass, the screens and the sills all clear together. For the full clear, window screen cleaning in Ann Arbor covers frames and sills as part of the visit. Read about the Ann Arbor service area or the screen cleaning service.
