    De-Solv-It UPVC Clean-Up. It's a clear liquid in a spray bottle - the instructions say to spray it onto the window frames, but I find it's less messy to spray it onto a micro fibre cloth then wipe.

    Got mine from B&Q, but it's not their own brand so you may be able to find it elsewhere.

    Cif, and if I can be bothered, car wax to make them easier to clean next time.

    Cif or similar cream cleaners will cause scratches on the plastic which will make dirt and stains more difficult to remove. The more you use it the worse it will get. They are abrasive cleaners!

    I normally do them with soapy water while i'm cleaning the windows. Depends if they're stained or grubby, then use a PVC cleaner from B&Q or Screwfix

    I have heard this before, but never had any problems. Then again, I wasn't applying with a brillo pad.

    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
