What is the easiest way to get dried dog saliva off window screens?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Just moved into a new house, and I have 10 porch screens that are COVERED in old, old dried up dog saliva thanks to the previous owners.

Didnt think to have them replace the screens in the contract . . :frowning:

I already know this will take hours, and hours of scrubbing . . but does anyone have any shortcuts, or special cleaning agents that might make my job easier?

THANKS

Take them off and use a power washer?

Have another dog lick it off.

Try Disolve-it. I’m not sure if you’d have it in your part of the world but it’s an excellent remover of all sorts of goo. It’s a citrus oil with a strong orange smell. You’ll probably find it somewhere like a hardware store or the laundry section of a supermarket.

Try a vinegar and water solution. It cuts through anything and is environmentally friendly. :slight_smile:

Two suggestions from Someone Who Knows:

  1. Use a stiff brush. Since it’s dried, it should just flake off.
  2. If there are too many screens to brush, take them to a DYI car wash, line 'em up & blast 'em.

Consider yourself fortunate, Vinnie. I bought a house from people whose dogs had eatenmost of a bathroom door & scratched the sliding glass patio doors (must have had diamond toenails).

Won’t pressure washing them damage the screens?

Not if you lay them down on a hard, flat surface first.

Assuming that you are able to remove them before hand.
