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

    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?

    Well i would ask her but she`s not exactly forthcoming with too much info - only tells you what she wants to brag about.

    Strange woman! My windows are made of glass :confused:;):D

    Frames get cleaned with Cif (the cleaner formerly known as Jif)
