Did a house today and a lot of black residue came off the rubbers around the windows. What is the best thing to clean it off the window frames?

just get some cif or jif and pour it on a rag and rub it of,worked for me also when you clean the pvc rubbers try not to smear the black stuff around the frames...

Thanks guys, I used the wfp but the water ran pure black from the rubbers and seemed to stain the pvc as it dried.
