    Any recommendations for a good screen cleaning brush? I want to use it dry for the upcoming winter odd jobs. Thanks

    Pretty much any bench brush will be able to move the dirt around (it's not cleaning.)

    Ettore super brush is really handy for all sorts of jobs. The swivel handle means it is easy to use on a pole, though that would prob not help with screens, but if you are going to get a brush, you might as well get one that is versatile.

    Quite a few window cleaning supply houses sell screen cleaning brushes. They are basically dust pan brushes. Lots of cleaners in my area do not wash the screens. They brush the screen and wipe down the frames. might not be a bad idea for the cold winter months.

    In the winter I'll clean screens in the garage sometimes or over a large drop cloth inside. I'll have to think about just brushing them when the weather is below freezing.

    The bench or dust pan brush was exactly what I was thinking. I was looking at one in the hardware store the other day - so that is why I asked. They seem good because the bristles aren't too stiff or aggressive. Hit the screens with the brush, and then wipe with a damp cloth. This is just for the cold weather season.

    BTW - I already have the Ettore Super Brush, but use it mainly for dusting or getting cobwebs. Thanks.

    This is one of our new sponsors:




    Look out on Monday for a freebie from them. The product is pretty neat, and basically eliminates the need for a brush. Its pretty cool..

    The Ettore Super Brush is all you will need for cleaning screens. The flagged bristles are awesome at removing all the dirt and dust off screens. I use it both for screens and cobwebs.

    Use a good solution with it like formula 90 or tide w/ bleach.
