How to Clean a uPVC Door

How to clean a composite door

Wondering exactly how to clean a uPVC door? We have all the tips you need!

Over time your door will naturally get a grimy covering of dirt, cobwebs and dead bugs, but fear not, we have some easy tricks for you to give your uPVC door a thorough clean and get into any hard to reach places!

To clean the glass and main panels in your uPVC or composite door, we recommend using warm, soapy water – simple, but effective.

Wash the door down with the warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Micro-fibre cloths are fantastic as they remove stubborn dirt and prevent scratching or damaging the door. 

Avoid using bleaches or any cleaning materials that could scratch the door such as a scouring pad – they will damage the finish of the door and this will void your warranty.

Products to avoid:

  • Scouring pads
  • Methylated spirits
  • Bleach
  • White spirit
  • Iron wool

To remove the dirt and debris build up between the door frame, vacuum regularly with the brush attachment. It’s really important to hoover your sliding patio doors regularly in the channel where the doors slide – dirt and debris will affect how smoothly they operate.

If you continue to clean your doors in this way regularly, they will stay looking like-new for years to come.

Phenomenal service throughout. Jim was very informative about our options and was very helpful. Rob came and put our new front door in and did an excellent job. He was friendly and polite. We are extremely happy and would highly recommend. Will definitely use again in the future!

A very professional company from contact to fitting.
A few queries before fitting were cleared up...thanks Donna. Then on fitting day Rob and and Matt were very professional and courteous. Their work was very tidy and all cleaned up at the end. I would happily recommend this company and use them again.

Had a new composite front door installed today by Matt. Matt was very friendly and polite, cleaned up after himself and made sure i was happy before he left. The customer experience from beginning to end has been great. No pushy sales team just years of experience on the job and all questioned answered and explained. You can tell this is a family run business and not a nationwide company that do a job and leave, they are people at the end of the day and interact like people. Its been a pleasure doing business with the team. Thanks everyone!

Wow, where do I begin with this company from my first enquiry to my final fitting yesterday? It has been AMAZING the quote given to me was fair and honest also had no pushy sales technique which made me really want to use this company from the get go! Darren came to survey my home at the time agreed really nice friendly guy. I even had some questions about a window upstairs Unrelated to my enquiry and he happily had a look for me and gave me some advice. I was kept up to date whilst my order was processed. Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Matt who fitted my French doors for me with care and professionalism He was super friendly and down to earth. Matt took time ensuring that everything was just right keeping me updated along the way. He cleaned up and also advised me on care going forward. I’m so happy with the end result I’ve actually already told a friend about this company. All I can say is I wish I had a found DS Window And Doors for my previous work don’t hesitate in using this company The quality of the door is top notch no damage to my wall at all when removing the old ones these guys really do care about what they do and their customers. The people I dealt with in person and via telephone/emails were amazing and so lovely that goes such a long way thank you all so much for everything! I wish you all the best going forward with your business ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ +
