INTERIOR APPLICATIONS• Only clean as needed.
EXTERIOR APPLICATIONS• Regularly clean decorative window films to remove environmental contaminants that may reduce the service 		life of or permanently stain the window film.
• Decorative window films that are in regular contact with overspray from ground level irrigation systems will 		
likely fail or become permanently stained.

• ORAFOL Americas will not warrant decorative window films when regularly subjected to irrigation system 		overspray.
