Window Screen Cleaning in Pojoaque
Screens near the highway trap more than dust — the same oily road residue that films the glass also coats the mesh, which is why corridor screens look grey rather than merely dusty. We hand-wash each one with detergent, rinse, and reinstall.
Greasy mesh doesn't rinse clean the way dusty mesh does. It needs washing rather than hosing, and a screen that's been left several seasons near the highway sometimes stays visibly darkened even once it's genuinely clean.

- Careful removal of all screens
- Hand-washing with soft brush and cleaning solution
- Thorough rinse to remove all soap, dust, and debris
- Inspection for torn mesh or damaged frames

- Available as part of the 5-in-1 Scrub Down bundle
Road film makes screens hold everything
Within a few hundred yards of US-84/285, screens pick up an oily film of tire particulate and exhaust residue. That film is not water-soluble, so it does not rinse off in a storm the way plain dust does — and worse, it makes the mesh tacky, so the valley dust that follows sticks rather than passing through. A roadside screen can go nearly opaque in a season.
A solution that breaks the binder
Rinsing alone will not shift a bonded road film, so the wash has to release the binder rather than just wet the surface. We remove each screen, work both faces with a soft brush and an appropriate solution, and rinse until clear. Hard water throughout the valley leaves mineral deposits on the frames, which we treat at the same time before reinstalling.
Pricing
Screen cleaning is $3 per screen, or bundled in the 5-in-1 Scrub Down starting at $100.

Common Questions
Road film. Traffic residue coats the mesh with an oily layer that holds dust, so it reads darker than simple dust would.
Not really — water alone doesn't break the grease. They need washing with detergent, which is what we do by hand off the window.
