A projector screen can handle getting a little wet and won’t suffer any water damage as long as you immediately pat it dry with a soft cloth and do not roll it up or store it away when it is wet or damp.
Many projector screens are designed for outdoor use and will be able to withstand a little light rain, however, you still shouldn’t allow the screen to get fully soaked.
And once wet, it should be spread out and gently patted dry to avoid spotting.
Projector screens can be made from many types of materials so it is always best to research your particular screen and how it reacts to being wet.
Some modern projector screens, like the Vamvo Outdoor/Indoor Projector Screen, are made from light-shielding polyester and spandex material that will handle a little wetting and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
How To Stop Your Projector Screen From Getting Wet
The best way to stop your projector screen from getting wet is to never eat and drink right next to it and to immediately store it away after each use.
It’s also a good idea to regularly dust your screen with compressed air or a damp microfiber cloth.
That way, if your projector screen does get wet it will still be clean and less likely to discolor.

How To Dry Your Projector Screen
If your projector screen gets wet it is important to pat or gently wipe the water from the screen as soon as you can with a soft dry cloth.
Only wipe and gently pat your screen with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and never scrub or rub it too hard.
Don’t let the water air dry on your screen as it may leave permanent marks and stains.
And always allow it to fully dry before you roll it up or store it away.
If you store your projector screen while it is wet or even damp, there’s a good chance it will cause permanent water damage that will void your warranty.
