DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Please refer to the drawings. The present invention, hereinafter referred to as Window Protector, or Window Guardian, is a line of layered, clear film attachments 10 specially designed to adhere to household windows 12. In this manner, when the window becomes dirty, one need only peel off the top layer in order to reveal an instantly clean surface. The Window Guardian can be presented in a rectangular or square-shaped form consisting of six to twelve (6-12) layers of thin, transparent or translucent plastic film, initially offered in blocks measuring approximately three and a half feet (3) in length and three and a half to four and a half feet (3-4) in width, which can be cut to size to accommodate any household window.

[0015] To facilitate easy seamless adherence to a window surface, the film attachment 10 is attached to the window by static cling or by a layer isotactic polypropylene or other non-permanent adhesive. The film 10 can be any suitable film including vinyl, acrylic, acetate, polyvinyl chloride Mylar or other polyester, for example. The film is thin enough to be flexible, transparent, and easily handled for effective removal of the outer sheet. Suitable thickness ranges from approximately 1 mil up to approximately 8 mil. Each layer 14 of the Window Guardian comes complete with one or two handy pull tabs 16 located in one or two upper corners or lower corners. As constructed, after the Window Guardian 10 is easily installed, one need only pull on the provided tab 16 or tabs 16 to remove the soiled layer 14. Immediately, a new layer 14, showing a pristine window surface is displayed.

By having to only pull one or two tabs to reveal a sparkling clean surface, homeowners will certainly appreciate that they will not have to gather multiple tools and spend time and energy constantly wiping away grease, food, fingerprints, smears, and other detritus from these windows. Universal in design, the Window Guardian can be customized to cover other glass surfaces in the home, from living room and bedroom windows to even bathroom mirrors. Primarily designed for household purchase and use, professional cleaning services can recommend this handy product to grateful clients, and in turn enjoy the good will that inspires clients to engage them for other jobs.
