Restore your window frames: Homemade tips to banish yellow stains

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. You can also use home methods, which are equally effective and often cost less.

Baking soda with vinegar and lemon juice is an effective mixture for removing yellow discolorations. It's very simple to use. Apply the paste to the frames, wait a moment, then wipe them thoroughly with a damp cloth. Alternatively, you can use a mix of water, vinegar, and lemon juice. In a spray bottle, combine 80 mL of vinegar, 125 mL of water, and 30 mL of lemon juice, adding a small amount of dish soap. Spray this solution onto the frames and wipe with a cloth.

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

When cleaning, it’s best to use soft fabrics that won’t scratch the surface of the frames. Microfiber works great for this purpose. Everyday dirt can be removed with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, such as dish soap 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 that helps maintain the frames' whiteness. Simply mix baking soda with warm water and wipe the frames to maintain their whiteness for a long time.

Baking soda is an agent worth having in every kitchen. It helps to quickly unclog pipes and drains, and its properties effectively eliminate unpleasant odours, for example, in the refrigerator.
