Install House window tints like a professional would for the cost of… materials and your time, follow these 6 Steps to get window film installed at home

step 1; Make sure the windows are really clean especially around the edges
step 2; Do a clean of the windows like you would normally do using a lint-free cloth, I found old t-shirts are good for this just don't use a window cleaning product with ammonia as this will interact with the adhesive of the window film.
step 3; Measure the windows remembering to add an inch or two to the window size and this will be trimmed off later
step 4; Spray the water and baby shampoo mix liberally onto the window
step 5; Spray some more of your baby shampoo mix on the new tint so that the squeegee will glide over the surface easily, This is a firmer squeegee than the normal window cleaning one and it can be bought for about $7 where you get the window tint from.
step 6; Clean the window as you normally would and ....Done!

Suggestion, If you are applying film to double glazed windows, avoid a dark tint as heat and pressure changes can lead to cracked window panes, instead chose a clear, light shade of tint or mirror tint. Product suggestion; 'Heat Control Light Gray Adhesive Residential DIY Window Film' https://amzn.to/3r3j1E3 A high UV block does most of the work with thermal control rather than the tint.
