A Bit of History:

History lesson: Scrim has long been used by window cleaners and even in this modern world of microfiber technologies, is still a very popular product.

Helpful Tips:

Can I cut it? You can but it may cause the Scrim to fray at the edges. Most window cleaners do not cut their Scrim but use it whole.

What's the difference between Grade 1 and Grade 2? Grade 1 has a dense weave that makes it a durable. The Grade 1 Scrim is heavier in weight than the Grade 2 Scrim. Grade 2 is a lighter weave and not very hard wearing. we recommend using a Grade 1 Scrim.

Scrim may shrink slightly when washed.
Do I need to bleach it? No. Although some window cleaners do bleach their Scrim, it is not necessary.
How long will it last? The life of a Scrim depends upon the usage and care it receives. The good news is that a Scrim will still work well even when it is full of holes!

Tip: Do not use dry rough or jaggy surfaces, such as concrete sills - it will snag the Scrim causing it to fray.

Care: In most cases it simply needs to dry. If it becomes dirty or starts to leave smears then it can be gently machine washed at low temperature with a very small amount of detergent. Air drying is best. Scrim may shrink slightly when washed.
