As we will see during this tutorial, with a minimum of patience and foresight, it is possible to make PVC windows and doors last over time, preserving them from wear and tear and damage caused by time and dust.
If you are interested in finding out how it is possible to clean PVC windows and doors, carefully follow the advice in this guide, I will provide you with valuable information on the subject.
First of all, keep in mind that although PVC is a very resistant material, it is advisable to avoid using abrasive sponges and/or very aggressive products on the frames.
To clean them, I recommend using some simple trivial precautions. Still, if you observe, they allow you to make your fixtures last (the aging process of PVC fixtures can be slowed down with scrupulous and careful maintenance over time).
To clean and make your PVC window frames look like new, I suggest you use a little hot water, a clean cotton cloth, and a small amount of dish degreasing detergent (rub the shutters with a little dish soap, to reduce the deposit of dust and smog, which over time end up deteriorating the windows).
As an alternative to dish soap, a small amount of neutral detergent can be used. In addition to the detergent, we take a bucket full of hot water, a pair of latex gloves, and clean sponges. Try to clean the windows taking care not to scratch them, avoiding the use of abrasive sponges (these, in addition to staining PVC, could damage the paint).
I recommend cleaning at least every 2 months (in the spring and autumn with greater frequency, especially if you are in the vicinity of sources of pollution).
The drainage holes must also be cleaned periodically. Remember that windows and shutters are characterized by holes, specially made for draining water and avoiding clogging and mold.
As for the closing mechanisms of PVC windows, including the gaskets, I recommend checking them periodically and paying attention to their maintenance, softening them occasionally with a little Vaseline (especially if the windows are exposed to the sun).
Finally, remember that PVC doors and windows can also be cleaned with special steam machines, careful not to overdo the hot temperature.
