rusty screen top

[arielgasca420]

I have noticed that bleach soaks work well with taking off rust. just make sure you rinse it off well

[Lija]

how exactly you are doing it? removing top and wiping it with bleach or actually putting the whole thing in the solution?

I've never seen screen top replacements for exo terra, is there such a thing available? if so - where?

[Adam R]

im really not sure, you may be able to call exo terra customer support and they may be able to steer you towards a retailed or even replace it out of courtesy. if the screen top is removable, most hardware stores will re screen windows so they may do your screen top

thank you, that is a great idea, will call them tomorrow
