Default Screen help

Is there a home brand of emulsion cleaner, degreaser, and haze remover?

if you search the forum for degreaser (and the other terms) you should find some past threads with info.

I dont know of any home chemicals that are good for your screens or work the weay you will want them to.
You can use mineral spirits for cleaning the ink. Striping the emulsion - Im not sure.
Degreasing screens you can use regular liquid dish soap but make sure it doesnt have any scents in it. The oils from the added scent(s) will defeat the purpose of degreasing.

Not sure why anyone would want a home-based chemical to clean screens when there are chemicals that are safe to use in your home and will do the job quicker / easier. I would recommend you looking at the Easiway brand of chemicals and call a distributor close to you to see which chemical would work the best for you. Hope this helps.

Default Re: Screen help

I've also used bleach and it works. Use a nylon bristled brush and have some ventilation.
Happy scrubbing
