Summers in Phoenix can be very harsh, with temperatures going up to a blistering 115 degrees Fahrenheit. The sunlight is extremely bright and can overheat cars, houses, offices, and other structures with windows.
As a result, many people are now investing in window sunscreens. Sun screened windows help keep the indoor space nearly fifteen degrees cooler than the temperature outside. Moreover, window sunscreens also help reduce air conditioning costs drastically. Furthermore, these sunscreens are great for protecting the skin and eyes from excessive UV rays damage.
With proper maintenance and cleaning, window sunscreens can function effectively for a long time.  
Keep reading to learn about the three main tips for effective sunscreen maintenance.
Select the Right Cleaning Material
Window sunscreens can be removed and reinstalled very easily for cleaning purposes. They can be washed, wiped clean with a damp cloth, vacuumed, and gently scrubbed with a soft brush.

Effective maintenance all depends on the choice of cleaning materials. Since the window sunscreen film is very thin, it can get scratched easily. A rough, ragged cloth or thick paper towel could scrape off the window sunscreen film and damage its sunlight blocking property. Hence use a gentle clean tissue paper, wipe, or ideally a microfiber cloth that allows minimum abrasion.

Before you start rubbing the sunscreen with your cleaning cloth, an effective tip is to try the cloth on a patch or corner of the screen. This way, you can test and determine if the cloth is right without damaging the whole screen.
Use Mild Cleaning DetergentsWindow sunscreens are thin, gentle films that require care for proper maintenance. Strong disinfectants or soapy solutions could damage and scrape off the window sunscreen film, exposing the indoors to heat and sunlight.
Like the soft microfiber cloth, go for mild and gentle window or glass cleaning solutions that are well diluted. If you think the window cleaning solution is too strong, you should use more water to dilute it.
Ensure that your window cleaner is ammonia-free as that can damage the sunscreen. Use warm, as hot water will also dissolve the window tint.
Furthermore, once you clean your window sunscreens, dry them out properly. Use a dry soft cloth to wipe them down, but without exerting too much force. Leaving them wet would create water stains on their surface and affect their clarity.
Be Consistent
When maintaining your window sunscreens, the one thing to remember is that consistency is key. Dirt particles can cause micro-abrasions and scratches on the surface of your window sunscreen. The micro-abrasions turn into noticeable scratches when the dirt sits on the windows for too long. These scratches expose the indoors to the outside heat and light, diminishing the purpose of the window screen.

Hence, develop a frequent cleaning routine and follow it consistently.
Final ThoughtsWindow sunscreens can be a blessing for the hot summer days in Phoenix. Just contact a well-reputed window sun screening company and let them do their magic.
To make the sunscreen magic last longer, ensure you regularly maintain them.
