Halloween can be a fun night, but sometimes the morning after isn’t quite so enjoyable. Egg splats on windows, doors or even cars are one of the most common calls we get around this time of year. Left untreated, egg can stain, etch into glass, or damage paintwork - the quicker you act, the easier it is to clean away.
Act Fast
The longer egg sits on glass, brick or paintwork, the harder it becomes to remove. Egg proteins can actually bake on in sunlight, making permanent marks if not tackled quickly.
Rinse with Care
Always start with a rinse of lukewarm water — not hot, which can cook the egg onto the surface. Let it soak for a few minutes to soften dried egg before wiping.
Gentle Cleaning
Use a soft sponge or cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid scrubbing with abrasives, as these can scratch glass, paint, or UPVC frames. Some splats may need a second rinse and clean.
Top Tip
If the splat is in direct sunlight, shade the area and keep it damp while working. This helps stop the egg from setting hard onto the surface.
