Cleaning and Caring for Architectural Window Film

Avoid cleaning newly installed film for at least 30 days — some haziness and water pockets during this period are a normal part of curing, which can take up to 60 days depending on the product and conditions.

Once cured, clean the film with a soft, lint-free cloth or rubber squeegee and soapy water. Avoid abrasive tools, harsh chemicals, or ammonia-based cleaners, which can scratch or damage the film's surface. Dry with a clean, soft cloth afterward to prevent water spots.

Will the Film's Appearance Change Over Time?

High-quality film designed for UV stability and color retention is unlikely to discolor or fade noticeably. Over many years, some films may show slight fading or a small shift in reflectivity. Regular cleaning and choosing a film with a long-term warranty both help preserve appearance over the long run.
