How to clean your UPVC Doors and Windows
In order to keep doors and windows in good condition, it is necessary to take care of them. When it comes to UPVC Doors, it is a quite well known fact that no other windows can match their quality in comparison to the other ones present in the market. It costs a lot to the customer to install these windows as the price is comparatively higher than the other type of windows. Maintenance of such doors enables a person to use them for a long time.
If you have installed UPVC Windows for a long time in your home, then they are bound to get dirty by pollution and also due to many other reasons like opening and closing of the door, which leaves marks and impressions of the hand. Hence, it is necessary to keep them clean.
Most of us have a strong perception that cleaning the upvc doors and windows is quite easy and can simply be done by rubbing their panes with the help of soap and water solution. However, this is quite a wrong perception. These doors are protected with a shiny layer, which, if suspected to rigorous chemical solutions like soap, water can take away the lustre and make the door appear dull.
On the other hand, it is also not possible to spend money on purchasing the costly cleaning agents which are specially made only for UPVC Windows. You can use warm water containing a mixture of water and soap and clean the windows with this solution. It removes any dirt which is either clogged in the window or grease which is firmly stuck on the door. The warm water causes the dirt to loosen up and easily give up thereby removing it permanently from the door.
Handles, locking systems and hinges are another important area which we often tend to ignore while cleaning the UPVC windows. It is equally necessary to keep them clean as well or else this might affect the functioning of the door. These are the vital parts of doors and windows and hence require special care. As far as the handles are concerned, spray some oil in the handle lock and push it in and out for some time. You will observe that after a day or two the handle is much easy to operate.
Sometimes, even the locking system becomes difficult to operate and it posses to be a problem when we are not able to lock the door. In order to get rid of such type of problems, you can spray some oil by putting the nozzle inside the lock. People mostly staying in areas near the ocean suffer from corrosion in the locking system where excessive rains cause the iron to get rustic.
If you want to clean the glass of your UPVC Doors panes then you can purchase some of the chemicals which are already available in the market, take a cloth and rub it gently. Do not apply much pressure on the glass as that might cause some cracks in the glass.
