Removing grout from upvc double glazing

Hi

Does anyone know how to remove grout from a upvc frame? I read that vinegar works.

Thank you.

    When you say grout I imagine that you mean silicone sealant?
    If so you can buy sealant remover.

    Soak it in soapy water, soak it again, then carefully scape it off in chips with a blunt scraper, narrow wallpaper type works for me.

    Take care not to scratch it
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    Thank you. There's only a fine line of grout, and most of it has come off with hot water and a J-Cloth.

    As per post number 4, soak and try again. If that doesnt work soak and scrape with a thin flexiby sraper such as a loyalty card
    Some people don't exaggerate........... They just remember big!
