Window frame cleaning in Utrecht
uPVC frames go grey, and a rim builds up on the bottom sill that an ordinary cloth will no longer shift. We take it off without scouring, so the frame stays white instead of going dull.

Indicative price including VAT when added to a window-cleaning visit. Carried out on its own, or on heavily greyed frames, the price differs.
The grey bloom on uPVC is not loose dirt: it is a thin layer of exhaust, particulates and weathered surface bonded into the very top layer of the material. A scouring pad takes it off, but roughens the surface at the same time — and a rough frame is dirtier within six months than it was before.
We use a cleaner made specifically for uPVC that dissolves the bloom rather than abrading it away. After that we go over the rebates, the hinges and the seals, because that is where the dirt lives that you see the moment you open the window.
Timber and aluminium frames are a different matter: there we clean the surface and assess the state of the paint or coating at the same time. If we see rot starting or a joint that has opened up, we tell you, with a photo. That is cheaper for you than finding out next year.
How it goes
From request to finished work
- 1
Identify the material
uPVC, timber and aluminium each need a different product. The wrong one is irreversible.
- 2
Clean the profiles
The bloom is dissolved and wiped off, not abraded away, so the surface stays smooth.
- 3
Rebates and seals
Vacuumed out, checked and dressed, so the window keeps closing as it should.
- 4
Report what we found
Rot, a leaking joint or binding hardware: you hear about it, with a photo.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about window frame cleaning
Can you really get greyed uPVC white again?
In most cases yes, provided it is surface deposit. If the uPVC itself has discoloured through years of UV, we can bring it a long way back but not all the way — and we say so beforehand, with a test patch on one frame, rather than promising a result that is not there.
Do you do this on its own, without window cleaning?
We can, but it rarely makes sense: clean glass in a dirty frame only draws the eye more, and the reverse just as much. That is why frame cleaning usually sits as an option inside the window-cleaning quote, at a lower rate than a dedicated visit.
Will you damage the seals?
No. Seals are damaged by aggressive chemicals and by drying out. We clean them and then dress them with a product that keeps the rubber supple, so the window keeps closing and no draught develops.

What does window frame cleaning cost for your building?
Greyed uPVC, green edges and blackened seals brought back to white — clean glass in a dirty frame only shows it up more.
