Why did you want to clean it?    It was doing it's job... now you've removed some of it... 

They were filthy, and mil had tried cleaning them with cif and a scrubbing brush to no avail.

I’m instructing you to have a rest and a nice copper.
Then look online for a cordless multitool to repair those windows 😊

NOW you tell me...

Not a prob - the local group I help out at have a good set of tools, and I'm sure a 'multi' is amongst them. Never actually used one yet, but noticed the funny blades it has. 

I guess it'll be ideal for cutting out the chunks of rotten wood, and then for levelling the fillets and filler I add afterwards?

I can honestly say it’s a tool that I thought I never needed until I used one.

Used my multitool yesterday to cut through rusted bolts on a close coupled WC, otherwise 30mins with a hacksaw blade and sore hand.
Today cutting out grout to replace broken tiles around a bath. Dewalt with 4amp battery last me all week..

For Diy jobs just buy a cheap cordless with a 1.5 amp battery, but buy quality blades.And deffo not from the middle isle😂
ps don’t buy Bosch as only starlock blades will fit it.and expensive.
