4 Steps of Care and Maintenance of Window Film: Residential applications – Interior and exterior films<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

1. Appearance<\/h3>\n

It is unlikely but possible, to see a \u201chaziness\u201d or \u201cfogginess\u201d in the film immediately after installation. This is the result of\u00a0a minute amount of moisture left under the film after installation. This is normal and should not be a matter of concern. This will\u00a0disappear in a few days, depending on weather conditions.<\/p>\n

2. Cleaning window film<\/h3>\n

Window film is less porous than glass, will not accumulate dirt as quickly as glass and is easier to clean. Cleaning of film is\u00a0required less frequently than the cleaning of glass. A simple solution of a mild dishwashing detergent and water will suffice for most\u00a0pollutants. \u00a0Ammonia based or other strong cleaning products should be avoided.\u00a0Use only soft cloths or chamois to wipe off\u00a0cleaning solution rather than paper towels which may put fine scratches in the film.<\/p>\n

3. Window film maintenance<\/h3>\n

Although there is no maintenance required for the film to perform as expected, there are some steps that can be taken to\u00a0keep the film looking new for many years. On interior films, occasionally use a silicone polish such as Vuplex to provide a lustrous surface to the\u00a0film. This will also provide protection for instances of unexpected scratching or burnishing.<\/p>\n

4. Tape removal from the film<\/h3>\n

If an adhesive tape is ever applied to the film and needs to be removed, simply peel it off as though it is on the glass. If there\u00a0is residual adhesive left behind, this can be removed with a soft cloth and mineral spirits or alcohol.<\/p>\n
