Chris

There are lots of different brands/products specifically for this task. Can't think of the name of the one we use but I know I have seen similar products in B&Q, local trade/diy shops and anywhere that sells all the other window cleaning gear ie blades, applicators etc.

Hi Chris

Try Cream Cleaner and a none scratch scourer with plenty of elbow grease

Best regards

hi there,

we use toluene, on really stiuborn markings, however it is dangerous stuff, low flash point, high flammable.

its what a lot of the window installers use.

Hi keith it is screwfix own make upvc cleaner,  if you have a screwfix book its on pg 488 top left hand corner, or look on screwfix.com it is product no11235-79. if you have really stubborn marks use screwfix solvent upvc cleaner first it stinks but have'nt found anything it cant get off, this is on the same pg or product no93464-79 hope this helps regards john.
