<strong>CARE</strong> <strong>FOR</strong> <strong>YOUR</strong> <strong>WINDOW</strong> <strong>GRAPHICS</strong>
Congratulations on the purchase of your Window<br />
Graphics!<br />
While window graphics with overlaminate are very durable, you do<br />
have to properly care for them to ensure they last. Depending on<br />
the vinyl used, most decals will last 5 to 7 years if they are cared for<br />
properly. Removable or short-term vinyl is not intended to last as<br />
long.<br />
IF INSTALLING THE <strong>WINDOW</strong> <strong>GRAPHICS</strong> <strong>YOUR</strong>SELF, IT IS<br />
IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE TIPS:-<br />
Apply the window graphics to clean, dirt-free windows. If you apply<br />
them onto dust or dirt, it can cause the graphic to “fail” and not<br />
stick as well as it could. Do not use Windex or equivalent as this<br />
leaves a residue on the window that can impact the adhesion.<br />
Avoid handling the sticky side of the graphics before applying them<br />
to your windows.<br />
FOLLOW THE TIPS BELOW TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU EXTEND THE<br />
LIFE OF <strong>YOUR</strong> <strong>WINDOW</strong> <strong>GRAPHICS</strong>:-<br />
Wait at least one week before washing your windows. This allows<br />
the graphics adhesive to properly adhere to the glass.<br />
Do not scrub hard on the graphics or vinyl cut lettering as this may<br />
weaken the adhesive or damage the digital print on the graphics.<br />
If anything (dirt, bird droppings, etc.) gets on the window graphics,<br />
clean it off immediately to prevent it from staining. If you need to,<br />
gently wipe with a soft cloth and soap and water.<br />
Avoid pressure washing your window graphics as the pressure can<br />
cause the edges to start to lift and damage the prints.<br />
Try to avoid using window cleaning solutions with ammonia, as the<br />
ammonia can reduce the life of your window graphics. If you have<br />
the windows professionally cleaned, please let them know.<br />
Do not use harsh chemicals to clean the windows, and avoid using<br />
wire scrubbers or rough sponges to prevent scratching or peeling<br />
the edges of the vinyl.
Never use solvents, kitchen and bathroom cleaners, oven cleaners,<br />
engine degreasers, or other oil-based cleaners on your window<br />
graphics.<br />
SPECIAL TIPS <strong>FOR</strong> <strong>WINDOW</strong> <strong>GRAPHICS</strong> ON CAR <strong>WINDOW</strong>S<br />
If your Window Graphic is on the back window of your car, do not<br />
use the back-window wiper as the blade can drag and destroy the<br />
graphics. If you can, either remove the fuse or rear wiper blade to<br />
prevent accidentally turning it on.<br />
Do not roll down windows that have graphics on them. The<br />
mechanics of the window and rubber stoppers can stretch, peel,<br />
and break the graphics, and possibly lead to the graphics becoming<br />
caught inside the mechanism.
