Regular care and maintenance of Andersen® insect screens are recommended. For best results, clean your insect screen at least once a year. More frequent cleanings may be required if in an area with industrial pollutants or high concentrations of salt air.

A 16 oz. aerosol can of corrosion inhibitor can be ordered through the Andersen Solution Center, see Contact Andersen® Windows and Doors or your local Andersen retailer, see Locating Andersen® Window and Door Retailers/Dealers.

Painting the insect screen frame is not recommended; a replacement insect screen is suggested.
