How to Clean and Maintain uPVC Windows
Wipe the frames with mild soap water, vacuum the tracks, keep the drainage holes clear and put a drop of oil on locks and hinges a couple of times a year. No painting is ever needed.
Every month
- Wipe frames with a soft cloth and mild soap water.
- Vacuum dust from the sliding tracks.
Every few months
- Check that the small drainage holes at the bottom of the frame are clear, so rain water drains out.
- Put a drop of light machine oil on locks, hinges and handles.
- Check the rubber seals are in place.
Avoid
- Harsh chemicals, thinner or abrasive powders on the frames.
- Forcing a stuck sash: call us instead, it is usually a quick adjustment.
Frequently asked questions
Do uPVC windows need painting?
Never. White and laminated uPVC keep their colour and only need wiping.
