Indispensable tool for treating yellowed and heavily soiled window frames. It acts as a protective coating

Plastic window frames have many advantages, but unfortunately they are easily stained and dirty quickly. Over time, we can notice yellow spots and dirt accumulating in hard-to-reach corners. Can stained frames be restored to their original white color? How to keep them in flawless condition for a long time? We will tell you the best way to clean window frames.

Why do window frames get dirty?

Plastic window frames have been among the most popular solutions of their kind for years. They can serve us for a very long time because they are durable and easy to maintain. Despite their resistance, they are not resistant to all external influences to which they are exposed. Above all, they are damaged by the sun, or UV radiation, which causes white window frames to turn yellow and cease to be aesthetically pleasing.

The constant exposure to light is the main, but not the only, reason why plastic window frames lose their whiteness. Another reason is pollutants from the air (dust and particles), which settle on the surface of windows and get into rails and other hard-to-reach corners. In addition, we sometimes scratch plastic window frames by using inappropriate cleaning agents and cleaning accessories, which makes dirt penetrate deeper into their structure and make it harder to get rid of them.

It may seem that strong chemicals are best for yellowed and heavily soiled window frames. However, aggressive cleaning agents can damage the cleaned surface, so instead of improving its appearance, we make the situation worse. It is worth choosing other solutions that are safe for the materials and will protect them from future pollution. The best methods are listed later in this article.

How to clean window frames?

Are you interested in how to clean window frames and restore their lost shine? This task will be quite easy if you decide on the right methods. The home methods listed below will help you not only get rid of dirt and restore the whiteness of your frames, but also protect their surface from pollution for a long time. We suggest you how to clean window frames step by step.

• Start by removing dust and dirt from the frames with a broom or soft cloth.
• Then rub the window frames with a cleaning agent of your choice. We can use a solution of water and vinegar (ratio 1:1) or water and lemon juice (ratio 2:1).
• Apply a paste of baking soda and a small amount of water to the surface. Instead of baking soda, you can use a hydrogen peroxide cream that is used to lighten hair (available from your hairdresser). We cover the whole thing with food foil and let it work for several hours.
• After this time, wipe the white window frames with a damp cloth to remove the remains of the cleaning agent.
• Finally, a special protective coating is applied to the surface, which protects it from pollution and yellowing for a long time. To do this, apply any body wax to the window frames. Rub it thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Applying wax to the frames, which we usually use to protect the paintwork of the vehicle, will protect them from UV radiation. The surface painted in this way will be much easier to maintain during the next wash.
