Windolene spray is a versatile cleaner designed to deliver a sparkling, streak-free shine on various smooth, hard surfaces by simply spraying and wiping.
Getting Started: Preparation is Key
Before you begin cleaning, always ensure you're using the product safely and effectively on the intended surface.
- Test in an Inconspicuous Area: Always perform a spot test on a small, hidden area of the surface you intend to clean. This helps to confirm compatibility and prevent any potential discoloration or damage.
- Prepare the Nozzle: Turn the trigger nozzle to the 'on' position, usually by rotating it until it clicks into place, to enable spraying.
Step-by-Step Application
Once ready, applying Windolene spray is a straightforward process to achieve brilliant results.
- Spray Evenly: Hold the bottle approximately 6-8 inches from the surface and spray a light, even mist over the area you wish to clean. Avoid oversaturating the surface.
- Wipe Clean: Immediately after spraying, wipe the area thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel. Work quickly to prevent the solution from drying on its own, which can leave streaks.
- Buff for Extra Shine (Optional): For an ultimate streak-free finish, you can use a second dry, clean lint-free cloth to buff the surface until it gleams.
Where to Use Windolene Spray
Windolene is formulated for a range of smooth, hard surfaces that benefit from a sparkling finish.
| Suitable Surface Type | Examples |

| Smooth, Shiny Surfaces | Polished surfaces that require a streak-free clean |
Surfaces to Avoid
While effective on many surfaces, there are specific materials where Windolene spray should not be used to prevent damage or undesirable results.
- Painted Surfaces: Do not apply to any painted surfaces, as the cleaner may strip paint or cause discoloration.
- Wooden Surfaces: Avoid using on wooden surfaces, whether treated or untreated, as it can damage the finish or the wood itself.
- Waxed Surfaces: Steer clear of all waxed surfaces, as the cleaner can remove the wax coating and dull the finish.
- Porous or Unsealed Surfaces: Generally, avoid using on highly porous or unsealed materials, such as unpolished natural stone or unfinished wood, as the liquid may absorb and leave stains.
Pro Tips for a Flawless Finish
Maximize the effectiveness of Windolene spray with these expert cleaning tips:
- Use Microfiber Cloths: Microfiber cloths are highly absorbent and excellent for picking up dirt and buffing surfaces without leaving lint or streaks.
- Clean in Sections: For larger areas, work in small sections to ensure the cleaner doesn't dry before you have a chance to wipe it off.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Cleaning in direct sunlight can cause the spray to dry too quickly, leading to streaks. Try to clean on cloudy days or when the sun isn't directly on the window.
- Change Cloths Frequently: Use a fresh, clean cloth as soon as your current one becomes saturated with dirt or cleaner to maintain optimal cleaning performance.
