CLR? probly not, though...if you do use that, i think you should soak it in alcohol, then like wash it w/ soap n water a LOT and then maybe another cycle of alcohol n water? dont ask me, though...i have almost NO experience w/ cleaning screens or pieces...just a guesss i guess lol

don't use any additives, it could be bad... if anything, take your lighter, and hold the screen with pliars or something and burn the shit out of it... continue burning it til the screen is clean.. you will once in awhile have to rub at it to rub the ashy-burn crap off... after a few good 20-30 second burnings you should be good to go, it should burn off any impurities... and is atleast safer then soaking something in clr, or other harsh chemicals you're gonna be smoking out of (no offense, it was a good guess)

Fuck the foucet screen. I got an old bug screen that used to go on my window and use a small wire cutter to make screens that will fit different bowl sizes...
if you do this make sure you use a metal screen and not a cheap plastic one

I wouldn't use screens from faucets or windows. Just spend a buck for a five-pack of "Smokin' Screens" from the store.

Not everyone has a "store" that sells smokin' screens.
However, we have the internet.
You find affordable, durable smokin screens here:
www.everyonedoesit.com
or

This is what i did it might be overkill but o well, First i got 2 containers filled one with isoproypl/ salt / lemon juice (for freshness) and then one with straight water, i took a pair of plyers held the screen up and burn it to hell with a lighter dipped it in the isopropyl solution and left it sitting for 5 minutes took it out rinsed it in the water then repeated the same proccess again then dried it out, it looks way fuckin better than it did before.
thanks for all the advice.

yess see that's what you do, don't use caustic chemicals... i doubt it would, but even something such as soap could be bad (tho only ones i think would be bad wqould be the ones with bleech in them) ... lemon juice was a good idea cuz it's an acid, and would help eat off shit... very well done...
