You’ll find its quite easy to clean your tinted house windows, however we recommend using a glass cleaner that is marked “tint safe” on it. We do not recommend any cleaners that are ammonia based such as Windex etc.
-
Is there House Tint that you can see out but noone can see in?
The way house window tint works allows you to have the ability to see out the windows during the day, while noone can see in. However, whichever side of the window has the greatest light source will create that side of the window to be reflective. (At night time it does not work without proper outdoor lighting on the windows)
