Are the frames of your plastic windows dirty? With the right home remedies, you can easily and quickly clean them in depth to make them brilliant cleanliness as on the first day.
With the return of spring and the arrival of sunny days, it is common to want a clean house and to embark on a large household. A ritual and essential operation, which allows you to find a healthy habitat after months of hibernation. It is also an opportunity to bring more light to enjoy the benefits of the sun. And for that, you have to get into the traditional window cleaning chores.

Because if it is relatively simple to regain the transparency of the glass with the accessories and suitable products (cloth, sponge, raclette, soapy water, glass cleaner, white vinegar, etc.), it seems more difficult to clean the frames which are nevertheless covered with unattractive seats of filth. And it’s even more visible on PVC windows. But, rest assured, even if the task seems complex at first glance, it is very simple with their original whiteness.
Before in -depth cleaning, start by rid the window frames of superficial dirt, such as soot or dust. To do this, simply use a slightly damp cotton cloth and pass it over the surfaces.

Just mix it with hot water (a volume of vinegar for four or five volumes of water). Then impregnate a soft cotton cloth with the mixture and apply it to the window frame. Leave on for a few minutes then wipe with a clean cotton cloth.
As an alternative to vinegar, you can also use citric acid. Acid dissolves grease and dirt, making the window frame bright whiteness. In addition, citric acid also gives off a pleasant acidic odor, close to that of lemon. To do this, mix the liquid citric acid with water. Then plunge a sponge into the liquid and clean the window frames. Citric acid must act for several minutes. Then wipe carefully with a damp cloth.
More original, the latest technique is to use white toothpaste to clean and bleach window frames again. Yes, we forget it too often, but the toothpaste is made up of tiny particles with strong abrasive power. Its action is softer than glass paper, but the toothpaste eliminates very well -encrusted dirt, by ensuring in addition a very fine polishing apply a little white toothpaste to a slightly damp cleaning sponge. You can then rub the toothpaste in circular movements on the plastic frame, by loud pressure. Leave on briefly, then remove the residues with a damp cloth.
As often, nothing prevents us from combining several techniques and products, including toothpaste and white vinegar to optimize the result. Do not hesitate, it’s time to embark on a large spring cleaning!
