CARING FOR AND CLEANING THE SCREEN
With reasonable care, you may expect many years of dependable use of your Stewart projection screen.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The surface of your screen is delicate, so we encourage you to keep your screen clean. Special attention
to these instructions should be followed when cleaning.
‣
Avoid getting any foreign objects on the screen as cleaning may prove very difficult. It may not be
possible to remove scratches, paint, ink, etc.
‣
A draftsman-style brush may be used to lightly
whisk away any loose dirt or dust particles. This
type of brush is usually available at office supply
stores. Stewart Filmscreen has an optional screen
cleaning kit that contains the proper type of
brush. Contact your dealer if you would like to
obtain this cleaning kit (see Figure 28).
‣
For tougher spots, you can make a cleaning
solution using a water-based detergent and warm water. To make the solution, mix one part Simple
Green, 409, or other water-based industrial cleaner with three parts warm water. Moisten a clean
cotton cloth or cotton swab with this solution, moisten the stained area, and gently lift off the stain.
Never use an aggressive scrubbing action as you could damage the screen surface by removing the
optical coating. Remoisten the area with clean water and dab dry with a clean sponge or cotton cloth.
Any residual watermarks will evaporate on their own within minutes.
‣
Contact the factory if you have questions about removing difficult spots.
‣
If brushed aluminum endcaps were selected instead of painted endcaps, you may notice slight
tarnishing of aluminum surface over time. If this happens, take a high quality microfiber towel and hand
buff the tarnish away.
⚠
CAUTION
Oils and grease from hands can easily transfer to screen material.
Be careful not to touch or scratch the viewing surface.
⚠
CAUTION
Do not use cleaners containing alcohol as they can damage the optical surface of the screen
fabric.
