The disassembly and washing process of the detachable and washable inward opening security screen window needs to take into account both operational convenience and structural safety. Standard steps must be followed from preliminary preparation to final installation to avoid damage to components or affect performance. The correct disassembly and washing process can not only maintain the cleanliness of the screen window, but also extend its service life while ensuring that the safety protection function is not affected.
Basic preparations need to be made before disassembly and washing. First, confirm the opening method and lock position of the screen window. Most detachable and washable inward opening security screen windows will have anti-theft locks or slots on the frame. The structure of these parts needs to be observed first. Prepare soft cloth, neutral detergent, clean water, and small cleaning tools such as soft brushes or toothpicks to clean dust in the gaps. At the same time, lay old towels or cardboard on the ground to prevent dust from falling during the disassembly process from contaminating the ground, and also provide a buffer placement area for the removed screen window.
When disassembling the screen window, you need to operate in sequence. Detachable and washable inward opening security screen window usually adopts the method of inward opening. First, open the window sash completely, find the lock device on the frame, which is generally a rotating or plug-in lock, and gently twist or pull it out to unlock it. Then hold both sides of the screen frame with both hands, lift it up evenly with force, so that the bottom frame is out of the slot of the window frame, and then slowly move it outward to remove the entire screen frame from the window frame. When disassembling, pay attention to the weight of the screen to avoid unbalanced falling caused by one-handed operation. Especially for large screens, it is best to work with two people.
Clean the screen part gently. The screen is the main part of dust accumulation. First, gently pat both sides of the screen to remove the dust on the surface. If the stain is stubborn, dilute the neutral detergent in warm water, dip a soft brush in the solution and gently scrub the screen. Be careful not to pull or scratch it hard to avoid damaging the mesh structure. For dust in the corners, use a toothpick or a fine brush to clean it carefully. After cleaning, rinse the screen with clean water to remove the detergent residue, and then place it in a ventilated place to dry naturally. Avoid exposure to the sun to prevent the screen material from aging.
The cleaning of the frame requires attention to detail. The frames of the screens are mostly made of aluminum alloy or plastic, and the grooves and gaps on the surface are easy to hide dirt. Dip a soft cloth in diluted detergent and wipe the surface of the frame repeatedly. For hard-to-reach corners, you can use a toothpick wrapped in a soft cloth to clean. If there are sealing strips or wool strips on the frame, you need to gently lift the edge to remove dust and debris inside. If dust accumulates on these parts, it will affect the sealing performance of the screen. After cleaning, wipe the surface of the frame with clean water to remove traces of detergent, and then wipe the water with a dry cloth to prevent water stains from causing rust or discoloration of the frame.
Avoid moisture in the parts during the drying process. The screen and frame need to be completely dry after cleaning before installation. The damp screen is prone to mold growth, and the moisture on the frame may also penetrate into the window frame, affecting the performance of the hardware. When drying, place the screen and frame separately to ensure air circulation. The frame can be placed upright and the screen can be laid flat on a clean surface to avoid contact with the wet ground. If it is urgently needed, you can gently absorb the surface moisture with a clean dry cloth, but be careful not to wipe the screen hard to avoid deformation of the mesh.
When installing the screen window, you need to operate in the reverse order of disassembly. First, align the bottom of the screen window frame with the slot of the window frame, press down gently to make the bottom snap into the slot, and then push the frame up to ensure that the top frame is also completely embedded in the slot. Then check whether the gaps around are even, and shake the frame gently by hand to confirm that it is firmly installed. Finally, buckle the anti-theft lock. When rotating or plugging in the lock, you need to hear a "click" sound, indicating that the lock is completely locked. After installation, try to open and close the screen window to observe whether it is smooth to open and whether it is tight after closing to ensure that the safety performance and sealing effect are not affected.
During the entire disassembly and washing process, pay attention to protecting the safety parts of the screen window. The lock, reinforcement and other parts of the detachable and washable inward opening security screen window should not be disassembled or damaged at will. Avoid hitting these parts when cleaning. If the lock fails or the frame is deformed, it should be repaired or replaced in time and should not be used reluctantly. In addition, the frequency of disassembly and washing can be determined according to the use environment. It is usually cleaned once a quarter. In areas with strong wind and sand, the cleaning frequency can be increased to maintain the light transmittance and protective function of the screen window.
