Upvc Clean Before and After
The best way to clean uPVC windows is to:
  1. Make sure the windows are fully closed
  2. Get yourself a bucket of water (warm would be better) and add in some washing up liquid
  3. Now using a soft damp cloth wipe off the bulk of the dirt, do not use anything abrasive as this could scratch the upvc.
  4. ​If there are stubborn stains left you could try using a magic sponge or cleaning paste to go over the upvc just be careful and do not apply to much pressure.
  5. Once the marks have gone now get yourself a clean damp cloth and wipe down the upvc
  6. Now to clean the glass, You either use a squeegee and mop or simply get a clean damp cloth and wipe over the window ensuring you get into all the corners.
  7. Once you have gone over the whole glass, get a window cleaning scrim and buff the glass off, this will leave a streak free finish.
  8. If you wish to clean the inside of the windows you can use the same steps as above but for the window opening you can use a small window brush as pictured below

Below is a list of the items you will need to clean your UPVC

Best UPVC Cleaners [Trade]

First off you will need a good upvc cleaner cleaning agent or TFR below are a list of the best we have used -​
  • ​TRAFFIC FILM REMOVER TFR 400:1 CONCENTRATE NON CAUSTIC 25L 
  • Rhino Goo! 5L UPVC Cleaner​ 
  • ​PVC Cleaner and Restorer ​
If you haven't already got a backpack or sprayer you will need one of these - 5L Sprayer

So before you clean the windows using your water fed pole simply dilute the best upvc cleaner to the correct concentrate as specified by the manufacture into your pump sprayer.

Spray the upvc cleaner over all of the pvc leaving it to dwell for 1-3 minutes be sure not to let it dry.

Now theupvc cleaner of your choose will have gotten to work removing all of those nasty stains simply clean and rinse the window off as you normally would ensuring to over rinse so there is no evidence of the upvc cleaner left this way the windows are left streak free by your purified water as normal.

It’s a good idea to clean your window panes on a dry, cloudy day, as hot sunlight can bake streaks of cleaning product onto the glass before you’ve had the chance to wipe it off.
