projection screens stored when not in use. This also helps to cut down on

screen.  This screen type is so popular because it is easy to use, durable
and easy to care for.  With just basic care a white matte projection screen

agents, but white matte projection screens can be cleaned with mild
cleansers.  A white matte projection screen should be wiped down on a
regular basis with a soapy wash.  The recommended soap is dish detergent

protective coating.  The screen can be left to air dry or blotted with a
soft cloth.  Matte white projection screen do not mildew, so letting it air
dry is the best method.

becoming damaged or worn out.  A projection screen is an investment and, as
such, care should be taken to ensure that it lasts along time.

important part of taking care of it.

Glass beaded projection screens are made from tiny glass beads embedded in
the screens surface.  The beads are covered with a transparent layer
coating.  This coating gives some protection to the glass beads, but does
not protect it from everything.  Steps must be taken to care for and to
protect the glass beads from damage.

Glass beaded projection screens cannot be scrubbed and chemicals can not be
used on it.  The screen can only be wiped off with a soft cloth or brush.
This is why it is especially important to ensure that the screen is not
exposed to dirt or other debris.  Even exposure to dust can damage the
fragile glass beads.  It should be dusted often and care should be taken to
limit its exposure to dust or other debris.

measure.  Due to the construction of the glass beaded design, this type of
projection screen can not be cleaned like other screens.  The key to good
