Screen Cleaning
in Dacula, GA

If you've ever cleaned your windows and then noticed they still look a little hazy or dirty, there's a good chance your screens are the problem. Window screens catch everything the air throws at them - pollen, dust, pet hair, cobwebs, dirt, and whatever else floats around outside your home. Over time, all that stuff builds up into a thick layer that you can see, smell, and sometimes even feel when you run your finger across the mesh. And here in Dacula, Georgia, where the pollen season runs for months and the humidity keeps everything damp, screens get dirty faster than most people realize.

At Kidd's ProWash, screen cleaning is one of those services we think every homeowner in Gwinnett County should get at least once a year. It's not just about how the screens look. Dirty screens actually affect your air quality, your window cleanliness, and even how well your windows ventilate your home. We clean screens the right way, by hand, with the right tools and cleaning solutions, so they come back looking like new without any damage to the mesh or frame.

Georgia weather is beautiful, but it's hard on your home. Starting in late February, pollen season kicks off and runs all the way through May. If you live anywhere near trees - and let's be honest, almost every home in Dacula, Lawrenceville, and Buford is surrounded by trees - your screens are soaking up that yellow-green pollen dust every single day. It sticks to the mesh, builds up layer by layer, and stays there until someone removes it.

This is the part most people don't think about. When rain hits a dirty screen, it pulls all that trapped dust, pollen, and grime right through the mesh and deposits it on the glass behind it. So even if you just had your windows cleaned, a good rainstorm pushes dirty water from the screen onto your clean glass. You end up with streaks, water marks, and that cloudy look that drives you crazy.

That's why we always recommend cleaning screens along with any window cleaning service. It doesn't make much sense to clean the glass and leave the screens caked in pollen. The first rain will just move all that pollen right back onto the window. Pairing screen cleaning with track and sill cleaning gives you the best results because you're addressing every part of the window at the same time.

We don't just spray your screens with a hose and call it done. That might knock off some of the loose stuff on the surface, but it won't remove the pollen, pet hair, and grime that's worked its way into the mesh. Our process is thorough:

We see this all the time, especially in homes with dogs or cats. Pets push against screens, scratch at them, and sometimes put small holes or tears in the mesh. While we're cleaning your screens, we'll let you know if any of them are damaged and need replacement. We won't do the repair ourselves - that's a different trade - but we'll point it out so you know which ones need attention.

Even if a screen has a small tear, cleaning it is still worth it. The rest of the mesh still collects pollen and dust, and that dirty buildup still transfers to your windows when it rains. A clean screen with a small tear is still better for your home than a filthy screen with no tear at all.

The best time to clean screens in Gwinnett County is late spring, after the worst of pollen season has passed. That's usually late April or early May. By that point, your screens have collected months of pollen and are at their dirtiest. Cleaning them in May sets you up for a fresh summer where your windows stay cleaner and your airflow stays strong.

A second cleaning in the fall - October or November - is a good idea too. By that point, summer rain, dust, and humidity have added another layer of grime. Cleaning screens before winter means they're fresh for the cooler months when you might open windows on nice days.

Not all screens are the same, and we adjust our approach based on what you have. No matter what kind of screens your home has, we know how to clean them without causing damage.

You definitely can clean your own screens. Lots of homeowners in Dacula do. But there are a few reasons people end up calling us instead:

Screen cleaning works best when it's part of a complete window care plan. When you pair it with track and sill cleaning, you're getting every part of the window addressed - the glass, the screen, the tracks, and the frames. Nothing gets missed.

If you're dealing with cloudy or spotty glass that regular cleaning won't fix, our hard water stain removal service handles those stubborn mineral deposits from sprinklers and well water. A lot of homes in Dacula, especially in neighborhoods along Winder Highway and near Hamilton Mill, have irrigation systems that spray windows. Cleaning the screens and removing the hard water spots at the same time gives you the clearest windows possible.

If your window screens are caked with pollen, dust, or pet hair, it's time to get them cleaned. At Kidd's ProWash, we believe in people over profits, and that means honest pricing, thorough work, and treating your home with respect.
