What's the Best Way to Clean Screens?

I just moved into building which is being repointed. The work creates a lot of dust on the windows. I don't mind that so much, but I do want to keep the screens clean so that dust doesn't come into my apartment. Any suggestions as to how to keep them clean--other than to remove them in stick them in the shower? That's too much work to do every day. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hair drier and a paint brush will do the trick trust me

No no no! A wire brush with the screen placed flat on the sidewalk is perfect.

Throw them in the shower.

i have a sturdy sponge from container store (i think) that is for cleaning screens. it works well.

you may not need a particular product like this but many sponges will disintegrate while you clean. it was under $5 and i think would work for your situation.
