Cleaning advice for windows

Cleaning window frames

Plastic window frames get dirtier than wooden windows because they attract dust and become statically charged. Avoid rubbing your plastic window frames dry, it will only cause ugly scratches. Sweep away the existing dust with a hand broom first. You can then clean lightly soiled window frames with lukewarm water and a simple all-purpose cleaner. The plastic frame must be well soaked and the solution should act briefly – then rub everything again wet. Finally, simply wipe with a moderately damp cloth. For heavier stains, grease-dissolving cleaners are helpful. Stubborn stains should also be pretreated: spray on the cleaning agent and let it soak in. Remove the stains with a microfiber cloth.
