Rainier Screen System Care and Maintenance
Following our maintenance suggestions will ensure years of worry free service for your Rainier SRS™
Screen. Contact your Rainier Screen System Dealer for additional information or if you have questions
not answered below.
We recommend watching your screens while they are operating. Objects left under a motorized unit can
prevent the unit from lowering. If this happens, lift the bottom bar up manually (bottom bar on SRS
Screens will only raise a couple of inches), remove the obstacle, and lower the bottom bar. If it does not
extend to a level position, use the remote up button and roll up the mesh until the bottom bar is level.
Stop the unit, then lower it.
Interruption of power can affect motorized unit operation. Ensure that power is still getting to the unit by
checking circuit breakers and ground faults for resetting. Remotes (in wall and handheld) have a limited
battery life. If the remote light does not come on when the buttons are depressed, the battery needs to be
replaced.
Rainier SRS (Side Retention Screen) screens are intended to provide protection from the sun, privacy,
and keep insects out. They provide limited retention and/or security of objects, animals or persons inside
or outside your dwelling. Rainier screens are manufactured from solid fabric or fabric mesh which can be
damaged or cut.
Ensure tracks are kept free of dirt and debris which may cause the screen to perform poorly. Cleaning the
tracks and lubricating them with a dry silicone spray periodically can restore smooth operation.
DO NOT
use oil, grease, petroleum or oil base sprays — these may attract dirt or impair the proper operation of
your screen(s).
Mesh and solid fabrics, housing, side tracks and hem bar can be cleaned with water and a soft brush but
not with a pressure washer. A mild detergent like dish soap can be used, but do not use chemicals. After
cleaning the mesh, rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry fully before rolling it back into the housing.
Screens with clear window vinyl can be cleaned and maintained with any of the many products on the
market made for the care and maintenance of clear flexible vinyl. We do not make any specific
recommendations other than the following:
Wash regularly with a mild soap and water spraying down the curtain. Beware of washing with
trapped grit in your cloth mitt. Polish occasionally with any of the products made for maintenance
of clear flexible vinyl.
Do Not
use Rainex - this will cause hazing, discoloration and distortion over time.
Do Not
leave curtains rolled up over prolonged periods. Roll down often to avoid clouding from
trapped water, fold distortions, etc.
Make sure screen is fully dry before retracting.
What to do if the curtain clouded up due to water being trapped in it when rolled up: If the curtain is
exposed to direct sunlight for any length of time during the day, the whiteness will gradually disappear.
You can accelerate this with a heat gun or a common hair dryer. Hold 4-8 inches from surface (depending
