It is probably on here somewhere but I can't find it......does any one know a product to clean my 2 lovely new UPVC doors without scratching them? If not a commercial product, does any one know of an OS "potion" that will do the trick?

Thanks, Stella

Yep, baby wipes are pretty good apparently. And if you go to our "Indexed Collections" sticky at the top of the board there's a link to a "Save Zillions on Cleaning Index" that has other tips you might like to try

I use good old Astonish, the paste in a tub, £1 from the pound shops. You can also get it in Orange fragrance now (use that in my bathroom) I find if you need something more than just water and elbow grease, that does the job, then wipe off with a clean cloth. Lovely and clean UPVc once more.

Works a treat in my shower too. Only 85p from Home Bargains.

I think I'll get some Astonish first, sounds like a pretty useful product - there is a Home Bargains store near my office.

Many thanks to everyone who replied

I have used Jif before, chap ijn the trade told em to use that. You can also get upvc spray, stinks a bit but that also works. I got mine from screwfix.

I`ve tried allsorts of things even buying stuff that promises to clean them.
Does anyone have a cheap way that works.
thanks val

For the frames if white just use Jif/Cif.

I usually wipe down my UPVC window and door frames with warm water and a squirt of washing liquid, anyone any other ideas that will clean them?

I was once told nail varnish remover

My neighbour has just cleaned her upvc windows with some stuff what is used for cleaning caravans - think she said .It was put on with a brush and wiped off and now the frames have come up like new plus they`re shiny too.Has anyone tried this or knows what the stuff is?
thanks val

It could be something called MER.... we used to use it to clean our caravan with, otherwise its a UVPC cleaner you get from places like Halfords called Auto-Glyn, there are various types for different surfaces........

Whitefiver · 13-09-2006, 10:18 PM

Have you tried Stardrops? Seems to work for me, certainly gets all the muck off, but I'm not too sure about shiny....

just ask the neighbour...?

JennyW · 14-09-2006, 8:40 AM

I've used cillit bang in the past although knew of someone who used dishwasher powder, made into a paste and applied to the upvc. But as kaan_is said, could you not ask the neighbour?
