Greetings all.

I have a 66 year old ranch with a Florida Room attached. Unheated, 3 season. We've owned the house for 30 years, with just one previous owner prior.

Jealousy windows, 17 out of 18 cranks operational. Overall excellent condition.

The screens I believe are original to the build of the house. Again, excellent condition but getting somewhat "white" in areas, aluminum oxidation. Each screen is approx 2'W x 6'H, aluminum framing.

What is the best way to clean, without damaging the screens? I's prefer something less corrosive, if it doesn't get it all I'd still be happy.

I hope the pic with give enough detail. Pic was taken yesterday evening, stains are less noticeable during the day.

Thanks in advance.

I think I'd try a mix of warm water and TSP. Light bristle scrub brush and rinse.
