Barkeepers friend (Sainsburys sell it) is a good upvc cleaner
This is a very old product, thats doesn't scratch and is great for ovens and log burners0 -
The proper ones are made by JML or something - some supermarkets sell them (woolies used to but that's not much use now :rolleyes:)

However... I got mine from Aldi when they had them as a special (not JML ones, some other make) and they work well. Good for getting tea stains off cups and worktops too. Not sure if the pound shop type places would do similar ones?
You just cut the sponge to the size you want and use water. It is made of melamine so is not meant to scratch but cleans with no chemicals.working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0 -
Wilkinsons have the sponges in the reduced section at the moment here.My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -

Hi kezzae,
I know some people swear by Barkeeper's Friend for UPVC. There's an earlier thread with lots more ideas that may help so I'll add your post to it to keep the suggestions together.
