Title: Sticker removal from frames
Post by: J.D on August 28, 2012, 04:08:27 pm
I have an initial window clean to do on a large house tomorrow and the frames still have the stickers on them. Now the stickers have been on so long that they are becoming part of the window frame itself and look unsightly. I know that some people use Cif cream and thats supposed to work but is their anything else that would be up to the job?

If the frames are U.P.V.C. you can always use a little petrol on peace of cloth, it does a good job, but then again you can always use Magica One Go.   ;)

I always carry a bottle of methelated spirit in the van - works wonders.
Not a bad drink with red bull either.  8)

Went with a scourer and fairy liquid. Technically it was a brillo pad type action. Worked very well indeed. Thanks fellas.
