I have a cheap Sears 3-gallon air compressor. *It has worked fine for

fabricate something like that with items from the big box store (air

Wouldn't it be easier to remove them and wash them with detergent and
water? *While the screens are drying clean out the dirt in the window
tracks.

I just use the blower position ono my shop vacuum and brush the screen
while blowing out the window, I don't even have to remove the screen
as long as the wind is in the right direction,
