One of the biggest benefits of uPVC windows is that they require very little maintenance compared to timber. However, regular care extends their life significantly across Rochdale and Greater Manchester.
Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth every few months. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a specialist uPVC cleaner from a DIY store works well. Never use bleach or solvent-based cleaners. If you notice misting between the panes read our guide on fixing misted double glazing in Rochdale.
Window hinges and locking mechanisms should be lightly lubricated once or twice a year with a silicone-based lubricant. This prevents stiffness and keeps everything operating smoothly. Never use WD-40 on uPVC mechanisms as it can damage rubber seals.
Inspect rubber seals periodically for cracking or shrinkage. Damaged seals allow draughts and moisture in and should be replaced promptly. This is a quick and inexpensive repair in most cases. See our guide on how long uPVC windows last.
