I just moved into a downtown city apartment that has nice, big
windows... with a weird white film on them. It looks as if someone
tried to clean the windows with something odd (hairspray?
sticky-tire-spray?) and now it's dried and hardened itself to the
windows. I have read extensively in this group and Googled, and I've
tried the following things to clean it:
(1) Windex
(2) Solution of water/vinegar/soap
(3) Solution of hot water and vinegar
(4) Mineral Spirits
(5) Goof-Off
(6) Window Razor Blade (good at removing the bird poop, didn't do a
thing to the film)
It's definitely a film on the window -- I can feel it on the outside as
a sort of sticky, filmy stuff (although it's lost a bit of the
"sticky"). And it's not on every inch of the window; there are places
where it's thicker, and little holes in it where you can see straight
through.
Does anyone have any other cleaning advice? If I've to, I will get new
panes, but I am 40' off the ground, so that might be really expensive.
