What is the best product for cleaning pvc frames?
« on: March 27, 2009, 04:37:58 pm »
I have tried a few different types of cleaner for this type of work, what would everybody else suggest to use when the frames are a bit yellow and very dull and chalky looking. ???

I use cheapo Wikinsons upvc cleaner but if the frames are yellow then the plastic may have deteriorated too far.

The everbuild stuff is  solvent based I bought some for my my mate to do a job with ...he was as high as a kite with this solution after the first window,so I wouldn,t recommend it myself....go have a look on Kev R,s site I asked a similar question the other week and was told about a product called CHAMPION ...they say the product is a lot better than TFR and Echo wash and a lot cheaper,I,ll be ordering some ;)

scotchbrite kitchen scouring pads and a bit of detergent out of your bucket. Usually good, sometimes amazing.

I have used Flash with bleach in the past, but then found that cream cleaners are better.
There is a product called Renovit that is supposed to be very good, but I haven't used it myself.

I have used solvent cleaner on nicotine.

But 1 minute on a tiny piece it got most of it off but not all. Is there something alot stronger that we can buy.

Im not looking for a cheap solution but something that is very stong.

You would think so but it doesn't. Why don't you try it, its only going to cost you 25p.
