TIL you can reclaim screens with oven cleaner if you're out of chemicals

Was at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore last weekend and this old timer saw me grabbing some burnt out screens. He told me just spray em with Easy Off (the yellow can) and let em sit for 10 minutes. Tried it on a mesh I thought was ruined from a bad exposure. Worked like a charm. Anyone else got weird household stuff that works for reclaiming?

Did you rinse it really well first? I tried this once and left some residue and it totally messed up my next burn.

Rinsed mine with hot water first then hit it with degreaser and it came out perfect.
