I moved into a place with one very hazy window screen that is difficult to see through.

I have tried scrubbing it with a brush with soapy water and blasting it with the hose. But I cannot get rid of the hard material buildup. I even tried dipping a brush in CLR and scrubbing the screen.

When I Google how to clean a window screen, I just run across people telling me to do what I already tried. But I think the people touting these methods simply have screens with dirt in them.

This doesn’t seem like simple dirt buildup. I enclosed a close up photo of what it looks like.

I bet if I poked all of the holes individually with a toothpick I could clean it, but that would take eons. Any advice? Thanks.

    I can remove the screen, but I can’t pop out the frame itself. Idk if that would be tricky to replace it if I can’t lay it flat? It’s also huge.

      I don’t understand. The screens I see are in a frame. You can’t separate the screen from its frame, basically without tearing it apart.

      If you can remove the screen, then what’s the issue?
