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.

I have had all my windows replaced by DS Windows and Doors. It was a totally stress free experience. I didn't need to redecorate as they made such a good job of it. The price was great and the quality high. One of the windows slipped, but I phoned up and someone came out very quickly and made sure it was adjusted with no fuss. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience from Darren and his team from start to finish. Was invited to the showroom and warmly met by Donna who discussed all our options.
Excellent communication about installation, and what to expect.
Matt did an absolutely brilliant job of installing our door, left everything spotless and went through everything to make sure we were happy before he left. Would 100% recommend.

Excellent communication, all visits were on time. Instalation day the team was on time and worked very efficiently despite a bitterly cold day, all was completed (4 windows in one day) and the finish/quality of Instalation was excellent.
All cleaned up and explained the functioning of the windows (locks/ventilation etc)
Entirely satisfied would definitely recommend DS Windows.

This company was recommended to us. There is no "making good" once the job was completed. It's a all-in job. We are very happy with the way we were dealt with by the office staff and the installers were also very polite and professional. Highly recommended!
Everyone was very helpful and lovely. The whole process was very easy and straight forward.

Very impressed. Good quality product. Friendly staff and well fitted door and door frame.
Thank you to DS windows and doors. We had all of our windows done and 2 doors and french doors.

We saw Darren in the showroom who helped us with our so many questions as we had never bought windows and doors before.

Donna in the office also so helpful and happy to answer many questions! They were able to fit installation around our schedule.

Matt and Rob the fitters were just so friendly and efficient - they were really tidy and took real care when working. They also answered any questions we had during the process. The windows and doors look amazing and they were installed so quickly!
