  2. 2 Cleaning Tips for uPVC Windows and Doors One of the biggest reasons why uPVC windows and doors have become hugely popular across the globe is that their maintenance is very easy. First, they do not require that much of care and look after and whatever they require is very negligible and easy to conduct. Another beneficial point is that they can be done through DIY if you take care of these installations on a regular basis. Depending upon this point, you can do the following. Removing lime and Mortar The top recommendation is that you should concentrate upon the splashes of lime and mortar present on the profile, fitting as well as glazing. These profiles and glazing may have undergone some damages and the fitting could be jammed because of the remains. Ventilate Rooms on a Daily Basis Another recommendation is that you should ventilate your rooms regularly. This is because when cold air enters your room, it reduces the humidity and creates a much better and a healthier environment. Therefore, it is better to ventilate your rooms couple of times in a day because if relative humidity crosses over 60 percent, it can contribute a lot towards mold formation.

  3. 3 Caustic Fluids are not Recommended for Cleaning For cleaning uPVC windows and doors as well as acoustic windows and doors, the best solution is a mild dishwasher mixed with some water. You should never use harsher chemicals and compositions or substances that have caustic in it. Moreover, you should avoid using thinner and scouring agents and for removing stubborn marks and stains, it is better to rely upon the solutions recommended by the supplier. Buy all cleaning solutions from reliable sources and suppliers. Clean your Exteriors Regularly Your habit of cleaning the exterior parts would help you a lot in keeping these installations cleaner and better looking. This should generally involve cleaning sunburnt particles of tar, pollen, ferrous matters and dust, debris, etc. from the installation. These important steps are to be taken regularly because if these stains become stubborn, they may be extremely difficult to remove. Therefore, it is better to invest some minutes daily rather than spending money in calling the window-cleaning professionals for the same.

  4. 4 Lubricate the fittings daily One more very important step is taking care of bolts, hinges, etc. The best care for them is frequent and proper lubricating or oiling. The recommended time gap between two lubricating schedules is 3- 4 months and should not exceed 6 months. The movement of uPVC windows should be noted and if rigidness is detected, you can lubricate them immediately using good quality lubricants or oils. Apart from these steps mentioned in the post, you can also keep them look and function like new for a longer period by - Tightening loose handles Checking the seals and using silicon oil, deer tallow or talcum to keep them in working order Cleaning the drainage openings Resources¨- http://www.sooperarticles.com/home-improvement-articles/doors-windows- articles/cleaning-tips-upvc-windows-doors-1555459.html
