We answer, noting that clean screens produce more efficient air flow through your windows and will make you breathe better. Normally, to meticulously clean your RV screens, you remove them and wash them off with soap and water. But if they are just dusty, a microfiber towel which you can buy at WalMart or in auto stores can do the trick even without water. You will be surprised how it can do wonders to your screen. A small battery operated vacuum like the <a href="http://amzn.to/2o169vK">Dirt Devil</a> also helps. [spp-timestamp time="9:04"]<br> * Pam wants to remodel her older RV.
