Clean pvc door?

B'stard

My white pvc door needs cleaning. The outer trim on the door has a smooth shiny surface which is easy to clean, but the middle part of the door is not shiny it has a rougher/dull texture which seems to have the dirt ingrained.

What do I use to clean the door with?

Thanks for any replies:beer:

Be very careful about 'aggressive' cleaning of UPVC - so no abrasive and harsh chemicals or scourers.

Ideally, get most of the dirt off with ordinary washing up liquid and a soft cloth. For tougher, stained and worn areas there are a few options:

1. Stardrops multi-surface cleaner. Spray the affected area and leave to work for a few minutes. Wipe off with a damp soft cloth. If that doesn't do the trick then repeat but leave the liquid to work for about five minutes before washing it off with a soaked, wet cloth. Wipe off with a damp cloth.

2. A mild soap powder like Biotex (recommended by Which magazine as the best stain remover for clothes) or an in-wash spray laundry solution like 'Vanish'. I've even used the remains of a bar of soap.

I think the trick is to do it little and often. Don't go for the whiter-than-white look straight away or you'll be tempted to go at it like scrambled egg on a saucepan.

And you don't want that!

All the best

Sainsburys sells it for less than £2

I get black marks on my door from kids shoes and just wipes off with ease



"I've since tried BKF on my bathroom taps - even though my regular cleaner was fine, I just wanted to test it, the rim of my toilet (I sprinkled the powder on the toilet brush then scrubbed, I didn't go shoving my hand in there), I went round my uPVC window frames and I also cleaned the alloys on my car which were seriously stained up (if anyone has alloys they'll know that not only do they get covered in brake dust and a strange orangey-brown film, they also get weird black - oil? / tar? splodges on them which car shampoo and a scrubby brush just cannot remove). However, as my car is cracking on in years I really don't suggest you set to on your car if its still quite new just in case you ruin it!, maybe try a teeny area first..... anyway, I'm pleased to say that it brought all these things up nice, clean and new, especially my car alloys which were only that clean on the day I bought the car. It would be fair to say my alloys are now seriously blinging."
