Jules. Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Anybody any tips for cleaning paint & general muck form my internal bathroom window frame ? My new bathroom will be coming hopefully next week & I want everything to lok good in there. We can't afford a new window, so we'll have to make do.

Lesley Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I use Ecover cream cleaner. You can get special cleaner for UPVC - I wouldn't like to say what chemicals it contains, although for a one-off clean it may be OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have found that Astonish cleans anything and is remarkably cheap (lakeland/ john lewis' sell it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Astonish is fab, they also make a spray window cleaner which is really good but i can't find it anywhere and I have nearly run out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I used upvc window cleaner once. Ate through my rubber gloves and took the skin off my hands. Still, it was cheaper than a chemical peel and they were lovely and soft afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Ahem ... do you have a steam cleaner by any chance Jules? Joking aside - it worked wonders on my UPVc window frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hubby - who should know as he fits them for a living- says the best thing for them is Jif. Isn't that called Cif now?? - and Ecover cream cleaner is the same thing, just slightly more environmentally friendly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have found that Astonish cleans anything and is remarkably cheap (lakeland/ john lewis' sell it) Astonish is brilliant on UPVC I used it to clean the windowsills last year when I noticed they had turned a horrid grey and they came up lovely and white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 non bio washing powder (Ecover etc) works great and doesn't scratch (in my experience) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
