How to Care for Window Tinting in Your Home or Office
Keep Your Tinted Windows Looking Great – Simple Aftercare Tips
Congratulations on your new window tint installation! At Xpert Window Tinting & Signage, we use premium films designed to last for years while improving your comfort, privacy, and energy efficiency.
To protect your investment and keep your tinted windows in excellent condition, here’s what you need to know about window film aftercare and cleaning.
Curing Time: After installation, it’s normal to see small water bubbles or a slightly hazy appearance. This is part of the drying process and will clear up on its own.
Drying typically takes 3 to 10 days, depending on the weather and window exposure.
Do Not Clean the Film Right Away: Wait at least 7 days before cleaning your tinted windows to allow the adhesive to bond completely.
To maintain the clarity and performance of your window film:
✅ Use the Right Cleaning Products:
Use a mild, ammonia-free glass cleaner or simply mix water with a few drops of dish soap.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the film.
✅ Use Soft Cleaning Tools:
Clean using a soft microfiber cloth, soft sponge, or a rubber squeegee.
Avoid paper towels, scrubbers, or anything rough that could scratch the surface.
✅ Cleaning Steps:
Spray your cleaner lightly on the glass.
Wipe gently in circular or straight motions using a microfiber cloth.
Use a dry microfiber towel or squeegee to remove any remaining moisture or streaks.
No Ammonia-Based Cleaners – These break down film and cause bubbling or fading.
No Scrapers or Razors – Even light scraping can scratch or tear the film.
No Tape or Stickers – Avoid applying anything adhesive to the film, as removal can cause damage.
Keep blinds or curtains slightly open during the day to help tint cure evenly in the first week. Regular light cleaning every few months will maintain visibility and protect the film’s clarity and heat rejection performance.
Proper care ensures your window film lasts for years. All of our residential and commercial films are backed by a manufacturer warranty when installed and maintained correctly.
