Ready-made PVC cleaning products available on the market are one solution. You can find products at hardware stores that effectively improve the look of yellowed frames. Alternatively, you can use home methods, which are equally effective and often much cheaper.

Home methods for whitening window frames are very effective

Baking soda combined with vinegar and lemon juice is an effective mixture for removing yellow discolouration. It's very simple to use. Apply the paste to the frames, wait for a moment, then wipe them thoroughly with a damp cloth. You can also use an alternative mixture of water, vinegar, and lemon juice. In a spray bottle, mix 80 ml of vinegar, 120 ml of water, and 30 ml of lemon juice, adding a small amount of washing-up liquid. Spray this solution onto the frames and wipe with a cloth.

Regularity is the most important. This will help care for the windows

White plastic frames easily get dirty, so it's worth regularly maintaining their condition. It's recommended to clean them at least once a month to prevent dirt and grease buildup, which will help prevent permanent discolouration.

When cleaning, it’s best to use soft fabrics that won’t scratch the surface of the frames. Microfibre works great for this purpose. Everyday dirt can be removed with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid or an all-purpose cleaning solution. It only takes a few minutes to achieve the desired effect.

Baking soda is also helpful for everyday cleaning maintenance. It’s a very versatile cleaner. Besides acting as a water softener, it has a whitening effect, which helps maintain the whiteness of the frames. Mix baking soda with warm water and wipe the frames to enjoy their whiteness for a long time.

Baking soda is a kitchen staple. It allows for quick unclogging of pipes and drains and effectively eliminates unpleasant odours, such as those in the refrigerator.
