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.

  • Do the screens fade after a few years?

    No, the screens are UV-resistant and hardly fade. Both the fabric and the suction cups are designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without noticeable loss of quality or appearance.

    Thanks to a special coating, the colors stay vibrant for longer and dirt hardly adheres to the surface.

    In practice, the screens remain in excellent condition season after season, especially if you clean them once a year and store them clean and dry after the season. This way, they last for many years with minimal fading.

  • 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.

  • Can I request a quote?

    Use our online ordering tool and see the price immediately.

  • Do you also provide measuring and installation services?

    Sun Eclipse is an affordable solution to keep your home cool. That’s why we operate online only. By letting customers handle the simple measuring and installation themselves, we keep costs, and therefore our prices as low as possible.

     

  • Do the suction cups leave marks on my window?

    No, the suction cups do not leave any permanent marks or damage on the glass. They attach using a strong vacuum to the smooth surface, without any adhesives or chemicals. After removal, you may occasionally notice a light residue, for example from dust or condensation. This can be easily cleaned with the Sun Eclipse Cleaner and a clean cloth.
