Mosquito net can be extremely handy when dealing with the little outdoor
pests. Keeping the net clean is essential to its proper function. Here’s what
you need to know.
Begin by filling the sink
or tub with water and mixing in a small amount of laundry detergent.
Agitate the water slightly
until suds begin to form.
Gently place the net into
the water.
Allow it to soak for a few
minutes to loosen any dirt or dust build-up.
Next, gently agitate the
net in the water. Do not use too much force as that may cause the netting to
tear.
Remove
the net and drain the soapy water. The water can be gently squeezed out, but
avoid wringing it as that will stretch it and can change the shape
Fill the sink or tub again
with clean water.
Place the net in the clean
water to rinse it.
After the soap has been
rinsed, remove the netting. Again, squeeze it gently, but do not wring it out.
Place the wet net between
two soft towels.
Carefully press on the net
to remove the excess water. Mosquito net is so thin that most of the water
will be absorbed by towels.
To allow it to dry
completely, it can be spread out over clean, dry towels or even draped across a large piece of furniture
such as the couch or bed.
When it is completely dry, it is ready to be
reinstalled.
