1. What is GLEAN UPVC Cleaner used for?
It is designed to deep clean UPVC surfaces, including doors, window frames, trims, and cladding, especially those with textured or woodgrain effects.
2. What does “foil safe” mean?
“Foil safe” means it is safe for use on foiled UPVC, including laminated and woodgrain-effect finishes, without causing fading, damage, or peeling.
3. Is this suitable for interior and exterior use?
Yes, it is ideal for both interior and exterior synthetic surfaces such as frames, skirting, trims, and cladding.
4. What surfaces can it be used on?
• Standard UPVC
• Foiled UPVC
• Textured and woodgrain surfaces
• Other synthetic materials and plastics
5. How do I use the spray?
1 Shake the can well.
2 Spray directly onto the surface or onto a soft cloth.
3 Wipe with a clean cloth in circular motions.
4 For stubborn marks, repeat or leave for 30–60 seconds before wiping.
6. Will it leave streaks or residue?
No, the solvent formula evaporates cleanly, leaving a streak-free, refreshed surface.
7. Is it safe on coloured UPVC?
Yes, but always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially with older or dark-coloured foils.
8. Does it remove mould or algae?
It removes surface-level organic staining, but for deep-rooted mould or algae, a dedicated biocide cleaner may be more effective.
9. How often should I use it?
Use as part of your regular exterior maintenance routine—typically every 2–3 months or after harsh weather exposure.
10. Is it safe to use around painted surfaces or glass?
Avoid overspray on painted, delicate, or unsealed surfaces. It is safe on glass, but always wipe off promptly to avoid streaking.
