Warm water and plain old washing-up liquid does the trick for me. Or bleach if they're really grimy - but you shouldn't need that if they're new. Just a sloosh over with warm soapy water every few months should do the trick.0

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0

I don't like using abrasive cleaners on a smooth surface as they rough it up whilst cleaning it, then it gets dirty much quicker every time after that as the muck tends to stick to a rough surface. Best to use a non abrasive cleaner, even one made for the purpose as linked above.Signature on holiday for two weeks0 -

Not abrasive enough to damage upvc imho. Sunshine and rain do far more damage than the occasional wipe over.For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong.0 -
WD40 polishes them up lovely too, given this advice by a window fitter years ago.0

If you have a Eurocell near you their UPVC cleaner is pretty good.0
