Tips to Clean Your Window Frames

Maintaining uPVC windows

One of the biggest benefits of uPVC windows is how easy they are to clean. You need to follow these basic rules:

  • You should never use something abrasive. Abrasive materials can scratch the window surface. This removes the shine off your UPVC windows.
  • Simply warm soapy water with washing up liquid is all that’s’ needed to wipe down your windows. Dry with a towel or newspaper to remove glass smears.
  • If you’re finding that the dirt is particularly stubborn, using the same gentle cloth seek a top-grade solvent cleaner suitable for UPVC to help wipe it away.

Maintaining aluminium windows

If you have aluminium windows, follow these tips:

  • Warm soapy water and a soft cloth is best for aluminium.
  • Dry them with a cloth and they should be sparkling again.

For the glass, you can use any high quality glass cleaner. High end glass cleaners are good for both triple and double glazed windows.

Window Maintenace

When it comes to maintenance of your windows, you should keep the following information in mind:

  • In order to keep your adjustments and locks in good shape, you should spray them twice every year with a silicone based product or WD40.
  • If you want to loosen or tighten the friction hinges fitted on the window, you should open the window and insert a small screwdriver. It should be inserted into the head of the adjusting screw right on the hinge. You should turn it slowly until you can notice the desired effect.
  • If there’s been heavy rain in the area, there might be some water lying at the bottom of the window frames. You shouldn’t worry about this. The water will evaporate or drain through different drainage holes in the window base.
  • When lead work is left exposed to the rain, it causes the oxidation process. This seems like mottled or white staining on your door’s lead work. Once the process is complete, lead seems dark grey. It won’t stain anymore and is nothing to worry about. The process can take a few months.
