Title: upvc cleaning
Post by: shaunshine on June 25, 2008, 07:34:33 pm
had a call yesterday from a customer asking me would i do her friends frames and windows as she has not got a w/c....so i went to see the women i got a shock at the state of the windows and frames.she has some big trees in her grounds and the frames are in a bad state.when ever i have done frames i have always used bleach and a bit fairy always came up brill.but this will take much more than that as the frames have tree sap all over them speckles of paint.

so then what can any of you lads and lasses advice me to get.


many thanks for the feedback

One thing you should never use on upvc is bleach they will discolour the upvc to a shade of yellow.
Suggest you use acid specifically for upvc but wear gloves and mask
