How do I clean the mesh?

Will the mesh rust over time?
The mesh is made of stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust. However, extreme conditions could potentially cause minor surface discoloration over extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Mesh is difficult to cut cleanly.
Use sharp, heavy-duty shears or tin snips specifically designed for metal. For very precise cuts, consider using a rotary cutting tool with a metal cutting disc. Always ensure the mesh is firmly supported while cutting.
Sharp edges after cutting.
After cutting, carefully fold over or file down any sharp edges using a metal file. Wearing thick work gloves is essential during installation to prevent cuts.
Mesh appears to be sagging slightly.
Ensure the mesh is adequately supported by a frame or multiple attachment points. For longer spans, consider adding additional cross bracing or support wires to maintain tension.
Rust spots appearing on the surface.
While stainless steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to corrosive substances or specific environmental conditions can cause minor surface discoloration. Clean the affected area with a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Ensure thorough drying afterwards.
