How to Get Rid of Sticky Film on Windows
Getting sticky stuff off of glass can be hard, mostly because of the glue that was used. But the front of the sticker can also be hard to work with. Most of the time, the sticker comes off easily, especially if it’s made of raw paper.
For stickers made of paper that is covered in a shiny or metallic finish that keeps water away, you need to score the surface to make it easier to remove. Cut a safety box cutter into a grid shape on the sticker’s surface to do this. Be careful not to put too much pressure on the glass so that it doesn’t get scratched.
For static window clingers made of a gel-like plastic, they are made to be easy to pull off. In very cold or very hot temperatures, they may stick to the glass very strongly. To get around this, cutting these stickers is suggested to break the seal and make them easier to remove.
