Jif cream (not spray) or Barkeepers Friend might work, though as stated above, try on a bit you can't see first as it may dull the finish.0

The room is a bit damp and we get condensation - where I hadn't noticed it (been going around with blinkers on I think
) it's gone a bit black from that and is proving really hard to remove. I want to get rid of it and then keep doing it each week so it doesn't come back .... even though in effect I'm shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted! Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
Use a mild solution of Sugar Soap. but make sure you wear rubber gloves as its an irritant :eek::eek: Blooming good stuff thou, I use it for allsorts of things
Don't put it DOWN, put it AWAY!

jif cream usually works a treat0

Be wary of using Bar Keeper's Friend - wonderful stuff, but it's pretty abrasive. Jif (or cif now, isn't it?) should do it, and is only very mildly abrasive.0

you could try some magic eraser it get of most things.

I find a normal white eraser (good quality) gets rid of a fair number of scuffs and black marks around the house. I also have black (possibly ground in dirt ) marks on my PVC frames where condensation has obviously pooled and I haven't noticed due the clutter of stuff in front of it on the window ledges....namely photo frames .... will have a fish through my ds's pencil case for his "good" staedtler (sp?) eraser and have a go!Must learn not to count chickens before they are hatched!!!!:D
Every day is a new challenge not a new problem!:p

Is it just on the frame or right in the corners where silicon sealer could have gone mouldy??? Would be interested to know the outcome as we have the same problem!!!!! Think my hubby may have to replace the silicon like round the bath.:)[SIZE=2]SPC4 #1395 Aug 11 £135.75/£150

The best thing I have used for cleaning UPVC frames is Milton Sterilising Fluid.

Good question, same thing happens to mine too! I presumed it was mould and have sort of been ignoring it which isn't exactly the best thing to do... I do have some dettol mould and mildew remover spray which could help.0
