Cleaning white UPVC windows

Limey · 2007-06-22 12:15:57

What would be the best thing to use to clean these? I heard that CIF can scratch them but don't know if that's true. Any help appreciated.

Plain old soap on a soft damp cloth works well for me.

Vinegar mixed with warmy water works too!

Flash Bleach is great. The one in the spray bottle. I would have though Spotless was a bit gritty to use..?
