How and how to clean plastic window sills and windows from dirt

Modern plastic windows are characterized by high functionality, attractiveness and ergonomics. If you follow the rules for the care of devices, you can enjoy their properties for many years, without resorting to redecorating and updating

Euphoria from replacing dilapidated window frames with stylish and comfortable double-glazed windows after some time is replaced by excitement. How to wash plastic windows so as not to shorten their service life, but get the desired result? Some owners believe that it will be correct if you do not remove the protective film from the glass surface for longer, you can delay the need for processing.

In fact, this manipulation must be carried out immediately, otherwise the dust will begin to clog under the protective coating. Adhering to the adhesive layer, it will cause the formation of persistent contaminants, which will cause a lot of trouble.

Features of washing plastic windows

The first time it is recommended to wash plastic windows within a week after their installation. In this case, special attention should be paid to the selection of an arsenal of tools and detergents.

1. The use of scrapers or hard sponges is unacceptable. Powders and solvents will also have to be discarded; they can damage the surface of frames or scratch glass. Chemicals that get on the sealant corrode the material, which leads to depressurization of the window and the need for repairs.
2. Glasses are best cleaned with specialized products. If for some reason this product is not available, you should try a home-made soap solution or a dishwashing product.
3. The optimal tool will be a soft cloth made of dense weaving fabric. After it there are no scratches and stains.

In order not to puzzle over how to wash plastic windows covered with persistent stains, manipulation should be carried out at least twice a year, in late summer and spring. The approach itself is very simple and practically no different from the techniques used decades ago. First, the surface of the frames must be cleaned of dirt and dust, only then can you proceed to the surface of the glass.

Using a rag dampened in ordinary water, we remove dirt; you can wait until the windows dry. Next, spray the spray and rub it thoroughly until a clean surface is formed. Modern products usually do not leave moisture on the surface, but just in case, you can wipe the glass with newspapers, carefully dry the area of ​​the frames.

Tip: Many owners have a question about how to wash plastic windows to get rid of annoying flies. A vinegar based formulation will help here. A glass of caustic product is diluted in a liter of water. The resulting tool is used to process frames in the area where they are in contact with the glass.

To eliminate persistent pollution, it is not necessary to use toxic chemicals, which then weather for a long time at home and are characterized by the appearance of stains. Potato starch diluted in warm water gives a good effect (half a teaspoon of the powder in a glass of liquid). Apply the product abundantly on the stain, leave for five minutes, then it remains to wash the area.

We prevent the appearance of stains on the glass

Despite the abundance of modern tools and fixtures, many women still do not know how to wash windows properly, without leaving stains and untreated stains. There are several secrets that can facilitate this process even after the repair:

• Compliance with a clear sequence. First, the frames are processed, then glass is used and at the very end you can clean the windowsill.
• Pursuing the inner surface of the window, we perform the movements from top to bottom. To clean the outside of the dirt, we act from right to left. Such a technique will help to correctly determine on which side of the glass the work is done poorly.
• Cleaning is carried out only during the day, in good natural light, otherwise it will be difficult to establish the presence of stains.
• Avoid circular movements, the classical technique of grinding detergents does not allow to completely remove the remnants of the soap composition.

A poorly washed window strongly blocks light, adversely affecting vision and mood, so you should not delay this procedure after repair, installation of packages or obvious deterioration in visibility.

Processing plastic window sills

Dust from the street, earth and moisture from flower pots, traces of spaced objects, and often mold, noticeably spoil the appearance of a plastic window sill. There are several options for protecting the surface from stains and dirt, for example, the use of beautiful coasters and napkins will prevent unnecessary chores. If the formation of spots could not be avoided, do not despair. Even at home, you can find or independently prepare a product that can clean and bleach the windowsill.

How to wash a plastic window sill - affordable and effective products:

• Soap solution. Effective in removing fresh stains. You just need to moisten the sponge in the composition and carefully rub the problem area. The increased intensity is characterized by solutions, for the preparation of which a dishwashing detergent was used, but it will have to be washed off for a very long time.
• Cleaning powder. With its help it is recommended to clean the laminated surfaces. As a tool, a soft sponge or a piece of cotton cloth is suitable.
• To clean the gap under the frame you have to take a toothbrush. After manipulating this area, it is recommended to walk with a solution of vinegar, otherwise the smell of soap, which is very difficult to wash, will attract insects.
• Do not abandon the specialized tools used when cleaning surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom. They will help whiten the window sill after repair or heavy pollution (grease, soot, mold, yellowness from water). Only they need to be applied correctly, acting strictly according to the instructions.

Many people wash the windowsill only from above, even if it is very dirty after repair. Ideally, you need to remove all the plugs, sweep away all the dirt with a cloth and only after that clean the surface with a detergent composition. Foam, plaster and primer are removed from the frames and windowsill with abrasives or hard brushes. The stains covering the glass will have to be affected by solvents.
