Does anyone have a tried and tested method/product for removing mildew from window fly screens?

    You could try a diluted mix of milton then wash again with clean water Undecided or mix a bit of a bathroom spray that removes mildew
    and then rinse with clear.

    When we had that problem one of us held a wet cloth of one side and the other used a nail brush with soap and water on the other side. It seemed to work quite well.

    I use a solution of bleach and water applied with a cotton bud.  Time consuming but very effective.
