Rolldowns
Wash shutters with mild soap and water to clear dirt and bugs.
After they dry, lubricate the tracks (side to side)

Screens
Close the curtain/fabric fully, then wash with soapy water and rinse.
After drying, spray silicone lubricant in the side tracks.

Wait until completely dry before rolling up.
