upvc window frame cleaner

[pigleychez]

Anyone recommend any good products?

We have just moved into a new house and the white frames and abit grubby. Would love to get them bright and shiny again.

There's a brand (think it might be German) that does all manner of different cleaners and polishes, sold in B&Q. I use their scratch cover polish on our dining room table and it's brilliant so I would imagine their UPVC cleaner is also good.

God that was pretty useless, wasn't it? Can anyone else think of the brand?

I found a product called Vistal Hard Surface Cleaner which can be used for loads of other things as well , like shower glass and stainless steel. It gives a slight polish as well so helps to keep it clean. look at their PVC cleaner page

Cream cleansers like Cif are actually abrasive and very likely to take the shine off as I found to my cost. Believe it or not, the best product to use on upvc is actually Brasso - removes marks and shines up a treat.

I used the cif cleaner on a frame that had candle smoke on it. (Very grey) Came up brilliantly.

Interested to know about the scratching. It's obviously slightly abrasive but I didn't think it would scratch it for some reason. I was probably in carried away cleaning mode.

thanks everyone.

Id heard some people say that the cream cleaners are slightly abrasive so scratch at the surface slightly?

Pheasant- I randomly picked up some of that in B and Q yesterday. I got the reviver one and it worked pretty well on the window I tried.

I just recently did all ours with tesco value cream cleaner and they came up a treat.

I have used a specialist cleaner and just an ordinary cream cleaner (like Cif) and the Cif worked just as well and a lot cheaper.

We have something called De-Solv-It UPVC cleaner that we got from BnQ. Works fine!
