Cleaning your screens: keep your Sun Eclipse screens in top condition

Fresh, well-functioning sun shading starts with proper maintenance. By cleaning your Sun Eclipse screens, you not only keep them looking great, but also extend their lifespan.

Fortunately, cleaning your screens is quick and easy. In this blog, we’ll explain how to maintain your sun shading the right way and when to do it for the best results.

How do you clean Sun Eclipse screens properly?

Cleaning your Sun Eclipse screens is easy when you use the right products. We recommend using the specially developed Sun Eclipse Cleaner. This cleaner is designed to thoroughly clean and degrease the screens without damaging the fabric.

Follow these simple steps:


  • Spray the Sun Eclipse Cleaner onto the screen
  • Wipe the fabric clean with a cloth or paper towel
  • Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water
  • Also spray a small amount of cleaner on the suction cups and the area on the window where they are attached. Wipe clean with a cloth or paper towel to ensure the surface is grease-free
  • Let the screens dry completely before storing them

When ordering your screen, you can select the “with Sun Eclipse Cleaner” option, so you have everything you need for proper maintenance right away.

When is the best time to clean your screens?

The best times to clean your Sun Eclipse screens are after periods of heavy pollen, following a storm, or when you notice visible dirt buildup. In practice, a thorough cleaning once a year is sufficient, ideally in autumn. You can then reinstall the clean screens in spring.
This prevents dirt from accumulating and keeps performance optimal. Of course, you can clean them more often if needed.

Frequently asked questions

At Sun Eclipse, we continually strive to provide our customers with the best possible support. For this reason, we have collected and answered the most common questions in our FAQ. This way, you can easily find answers to all your questions.

Go to FAQ
  • Do Sun Eclipse screens stay put during strong winds?

    Sun Eclipse screens and suction cups stay put even during a spring storm. Our screens catch little wind because they are close to the windows and the suction cups are designed to last.

  • How many suction cups will my Sun Eclipse screen have?

    The suction cups are a maximum of 100 cm apart. If your screen has a length and/or width that is larger, an extra suction cup is placed halfway so that the maximum distance between two suction cups, measured along one side, is never greater than 100 cm.

  • Is a Sun Eclipse screen sustainable?

    Sun Eclipse screens are made of sustainable material, last a long time and ensure lower energy consumption when using air conditioners. It is the simplest solution to indoor heat.

  • What does excess fabric mean?

    Because Sun Eclipse screens are placed 2 cm from the window’s surface, the screens are supplied with 1.5 cm excess fabric on each side (3 cm per width and height). As a result, the screens close properly and no heat and light can pass through the edges.

    You can also opt for no excess fabric, for instance, if you have high square upright edges on your window frames. In this case, choose under ‘which type of frame do you have’ the option ‘Deep and angled’ when you order.

    You can request any other changes in the order option. This way you can create a custom sunshade.

  • Will you come to my house to measure the windows and install the screens?

    Sun Eclipse is an affordable indoor heat solution. That’s why we are online only. By letting the customer do the measuring and assembly, we keep costs, and therefore prices, low.
