While Florida’s winters are mild compared to other parts of the country, taking care of your window tint is still important to ensure it lasts and performs well. Whether for your vehicle, home, or office, here are some practical tips to care for your window tint this season.
1. Use Gentle Cleaning Methods
While we don’t deal with ice or frost in Florida, some debris can still stick to your windows, especially in humid or rainy conditions. Avoid scraping the windows or using sharp tools, as they can scratch or peel the tint film. Instead, clean stubborn spots gently with water and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid Abrasive Tools for Cleaning
While we don’t deal with ice or frost in Florida, some debris can still stick to your windows, especially in humid or rainy conditions. Avoid scraping the windows or using sharp tools, as they can scratch or peel the tint film. Instead, clean stubborn spots gently with water and a soft cloth.
3. Be Mindful of Temperature Swings
Even in Florida, cooler mornings can turn into warm afternoons, and temperature changes can impact window tint, particularly in vehicles. To protect your tint:
- Gradually warm up your car’s interior in the morning instead of blasting the heater.
- Park in shaded or covered areas to avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause minor expansion or stress on older tint.
4. Inspect Your Window Tint
Take a few moments to inspect your window tint for any signs of wear, such as:
- Peeling along the edges.
- Small bubbles caused by temperature changes or moisture.
If you notice any issues, it’s best to address them quickly. Professional repairs or replacements will keep your tint looking and performing like new.
5. Keep Windows Dry During Humidity Spikes
Florida’s winter can still bring rain and high humidity. Excess moisture can build up on window surfaces and impact the tint over time. Regularly wipe down the inside and outside of your windows to keep them clean and dry.
