1. Appearance
It is unlikely but possible, to see a “haziness” or “fogginess” in the film immediately after installation. This is the result of a minute amount of moisture left under the film after installation. This is normal and should not be a matter of concern. This will disappear in a few days, depending on weather conditions.
2. Cleaning window film
Window film is less porous than glass, will not accumulate dirt as quickly as glass and is easier to clean. Cleaning of film is required less frequently than the cleaning of glass. A simple solution of a mild dishwashing detergent and water will suffice for most pollutants. Commercial glass cleaning products are acceptable but not required. Use only soft cloths or paper towels to wipe off cleaning solution. If janitorial service is used for window cleaning, please make certain they receive a copy of this bulletin.
3. Window film maintenance Although there is no maintenance required for the film to perform as expected, there are some steps that can be taken to keep the film looking new for many years. On interior films, occasionally use a silicone polish to provide a lustrous surface to the film. This will also prevent most instances of unexpected scratching or burnishing which could happen to the film. Some suggested silicone products are:
Plexus Plastic Cleaner Solar Majik
4. Tape removal from the film 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 is residual adhesive left behind, this can be removed with a soft cloth and mineral spirits or alcohol. If the adhesive is unusually stubborn, then methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or acetone may be used with a soft cloth.
