Hello everyone, first time poster, but I have been on this site for a few months just reading and learning.....I have a ton of questions and they get answered by using the "search" button.
One question I have that I cannot get an answer to is:
Homes with solar screens, if the "love" gets on these will it bleach them?
I say yes and figure extra care around them is needed.
This is a great site for homeowners and those looking at the business, keep it up.
Can you explain what a 'solar screen' is?? If it is a glass covered panel, just treat it like a skylight. Rinse it off before it drys and hand wipe it off with a towell. Exposed wire connections shoudl be avoided or wrapped before spraying.
They might be called something different in other parts of the country, here in Texas they are called solar screens.
They replace regular screens on windows with full darker "solar" ones, the material is more of a heavy cloth instead of the screen material, homes around here have a choice of colors, brown, gray, and white and are everywhere.
Neat. I have not seen those. Being cloth could be a problem. If no one here has an answer for you I would see if you can get some samples to test on. Leave them in the sun when you are done. Prerinse one and apply strong love and rinse again. try one with love only, and one with love then a rinse and see what you get. If they look ok, see what happens to them after a few days of sunshine. Also if you find a supplier look up the maaterials it is made of on a sh compatability chart. My gut feeling is that they aree silicone coated. I hope that ends up being the truth.
Thank you for the response. Screens are not to bad to remove on regular windows if needed, its the half-moon screens that are screwed to the frames that are a pain.
I found the following info:
Suntex 80% solar screen material provides the best combination of heat/UV blockage with the best outward visibility. Suntex 80 Solar Screen Fabric is woven of extremely strong and durable PVC coated polyester yarns. The uniform weave design offers excellent outward visibility and good ventilation. Shading is approximately 80% and SunTex is available in a choice of four earth tone colors. The fabric is also pet resistant making it ideal for use in doors and full-length screen panels.
At first I thought solar screens were something else. Which by the way brings up a question. What should we do if the the house has "solar panels" (ones that generate electricity) on it. Has anyone had any experience with these and will SH will mess them up.
