May 22nd, 2026

 

Regular cleaning will keep your security screen doors and window security screens looking their best while prolonging their life, not to mention maintaining your rights under warranty.

CommandeX Clean is a high quality cleaner designed specifically for regular cleaning of security screen frames and mesh, while CommandeX Protect is a heavy duty lubricant specially formulated to create a protective anti-corrosion film on woven stainless steel mesh.

Which product warranty does CommandeX Clean and Protect apply to?

Depending on your security screen product and its specified warranty, these products may be an optional step in the cleaning process. The following extended product warranties require the use of CommandeX Clean and CommandeX Protect as part of the cleaning process:

SecureView registered extended warranty with a total of 15 years

SaltWaterSeries registered extended warranty with a total of 20 years

What happens if I don’t regularly clean my security screens?

Dust, dirt, and in particular salt, will crystalize on the screen and quickly attack the powder coating. Although we use highly corrosion resistant 316 marine grade stainless steel, any security screen mesh with a build up of airborne contaminants is susceptible to staining and corrosion.

Not only will this be visible, but most importantly, it puts your security and investment at risk.

How often should I clean my security screens?

This will depend on your location as different climates, along with proximity to the ocean and its salty, corrosive spray, present different challenges for your home’s fittings. Refer to the Warranty and Care Guide for your product which outlines the cleaning schedule for your location (ie distance to the coastline).

We recommend you to diarise your ‘security screen clean’ following the schedule in the link above. For other products, contact your retailer, and check your warranty and care guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CommandeX Clean?

CommandeX Clean is a high quality cleaner specifically formulated for regular cleaning of security screen frames and mesh. It is designed to remove dust, dirt and salt build up without damaging the powder coating or stainless steel mesh.

What is CommandeX Protect?

CommandeX Protect is a heavy duty lubricant specifically formulated to create a protective anti-corrosion film on woven stainless steel mesh. Regular application helps maintain the mesh coating and extends the life of the screen particularly in coastal and high humidity environments.

Do I need to use CommandeX Clean to keep my warranty valid?

For the SecureView 15 year registered extended warranty and the SaltWaterSeries 20 year extended warranty, CommandeX recommends using CommandeX Clean and CommandeX Protect as part of the cleaning schedule. Using non-recommended cleaning products that cause damage to the mesh or frame coating may affect your warranty entitlements. Check your Warranty and Care Guide for the full cleaning requirements.

How often should I clean my security screens in coastal areas?

Cleaning frequency depends on your proximity to the coast. Properties closer to the waterfront require more frequent cleaning due to higher salt air concentration. Refer to the CommandeX Warranty and Care Guide for the recommended cleaning schedule based on your distance from the coastline.

What happens if I don’t clean my security screens regularly?

Dust, dirt and salt crystallise on the screen and attack the powder coating over time. Even 316 marine grade stainless steel mesh can stain and corrode if airborne contaminants are allowed to build up. Regular cleaning protects your investment and maintains your warranty entitlements.
