Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is a dedicated maintenance and restoration cleaner for modern PVCu and other compatible plastic building components. It is formulated with a carefully balanced solvent blend that softens and lifts ingrained dirt, greasy residues and light site contamination without the aggressive scrubbing associated with harsher products. This makes it particularly effective on long standing or stubborn soiling that has become embedded in the surface texture of PVCu frames, sills and trims, as well as marks left from handling, transport and installation. The formulation is non abrasive, so when used correctly it does not scratch, haze or dull the surface, preserving the original appearance of the profile.
The cleaner is particularly suited to white, foiled and veneered PVCu frames, cladding and panels where a high quality finish is essential. Unlike many general purpose cleaners that can leave streaks or a smeary film, Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner flashes off rapidly to leave a clear, non smear, glossy finish that restores a just installed look. It is equally useful on newly fitted frames to remove site grime before handover and on older installations that have dulled through atmospheric pollution and day to day contamination. This combination of strong cleaning action and clean evaporation supports a consistently bright, professional finish on visible elevations.
Beyond window and door frames, the product is suitable for plastic fascia boards, soffits and many types of rigid plastic garden furniture. It removes everyday weathering, road film and accumulated dirt, refreshing the surface without the abrasion that can damage gloss levels. Because it is solvent based, it is also effective on light smears of uncured sealant and many pencil or pen marks on compatible plastics, dealing with defects that ordinary detergent based cleaners often leave behind. A small, inconspicuous test area is always recommended on sensitive or coloured substrates, particularly foiled or veneered finishes, to confirm compatibility and avoid unwanted softening of decorative layers.
Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is supplied ready to use, making it straightforward for installers, window fitters and maintenance contractors to integrate into routine cleaning schedules. Its rapid drying characteristics minimise downtime in both domestic and commercial environments, allowing surfaces to be brought back into service quickly with minimal disruption to occupants. The non scouring, non abrasive formulation does not introduce micro scratching that would otherwise harbour future dirt, helping frames stay cleaner for longer and simplifying ongoing maintenance. Used in accordance with Soudal’s guidance, it offers a reliable, professional grade solution for anyone seeking a dedicated PVCu frame cleaner that delivers fast, high quality results.

Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is a professional grade, solvent based product and should always be handled with appropriate care. It is highly flammable, so it must be kept away from naked flames, sparks, hot surfaces and any source of ignition, and must not be used while smoking or near operating gas appliances.
Work only in well ventilated areas to avoid excessive vapour build up and, where ventilation is limited, consider additional local extraction or taking regular breaks in fresh air. Always consult the product label and material safety data sheet before use so that you are familiar with the specific hazards and recommended control measures.
Personal protective equipment is strongly recommended. Wear suitable solvent resistant gloves and safety goggles to prevent prolonged skin contact and accidental splashes to the eyes. If the cleaner contacts the skin, wash immediately with soap and water rather than using more solvent. In the event of eye contact, rinse cautiously with clean water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
If the product is accidentally ingested, rinse the mouth with water without swallowing the liquid and contact a doctor immediately, showing the product label where possible. Avoid breathing vapour for extended periods and keep children and pets away from the work area. Store the container tightly closed in a cool, dry, well ventilated place, upright and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is formulated primarily for cleaning white and veneered PVCu window and door frames, sills, cladding, trims and other similar rigid plastic components. It is suitable for most hard PVC profiles and many foiled finishes used in modern fenestration systems, as well as compatible plastic garden furniture and other rigid exterior plastics. The solvent blend is designed to lift ingrained dirt, oily residues and typical site marks without the scratching associated with abrasive cleaners.
Because plastics and decorative foils vary between manufacturers, a small compatibility test is always recommended before full application. Choose an inconspicuous area of the frame or trim, apply a small amount of cleaner with a soft cloth, allow it to act briefly and then wipe away. Check that the surface does not soften, discolour or lose its sheen once fully dry. If adverse effects are noted, discontinue use on that substrate. The user is ultimately responsible for confirming that the product is suitable for the specific profile, veneer or plastic being cleaned.
Before using the solvent frame cleaner, remove any loose surface contamination such as cobwebs, dust, grit or sand using a soft brush or a dry cloth. This simple step reduces the risk of dragging abrasive particles across the surface while cleaning, which could mark the PVCu. Where heavy mud or thick deposits are present, it can be helpful to wipe down first with a damp cloth and allow the surface to dry completely before applying the solvent cleaner.
Ensure that the areas to be treated are dry, structurally sound and free from any obvious damage. Do not use the cleaner on cracked or heavily crazed plastics where solvent action could worsen existing defects. Protect adjacent porous materials such as painted masonry, sealant beads not intended to be cleaned, or powder coated surfaces if there is any concern about sensitivity. As the product is solvent based and has a low flashpoint of less than 20°C, avoid working over hot surfaces or in direct, strong sunlight that may accelerate evaporation excessively.
For best results, always use a clean, soft, colourfast cloth or high quality paper tissue that will not shed fibres or lose dye. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the frame. Instead, apply a small amount to the cloth and then work on a manageable section of the PVCu at a time.
Wipe the cloth over the surface using firm but controlled pressure, working the solvent into the ingrained dirt and marks. Always wipe in one consistent direction rather than scrubbing randomly, as this helps to achieve a uniform finish and reduces the risk of swirl marks.
After the cleaner has been spread over the surface, allow it to dwell briefly so that it can soften and dissolve the contamination. In practice, this is usually a matter of a few minutes rather than a strict timed soak, and long dwell times are rarely necessary. Once the dirt has been loosened, take a second clean, dry cloth or tissue and wipe away the dissolved contamination, again working in one direction.
This polishing step removes residues and helps to bring up a clear, shiny finish. Change cloths regularly so that dirt is not simply redistributed and avoid reusing heavily soiled cloths on clean areas. Do not dilute the product with water or other solvents, as this can impair performance and may leave smears.
Coverage will vary depending on how heavily soiled the PVCu surface is and how generously the cleaner is applied to the cloth. Light maintenance cleaning of mildly dirty frames will require only a small amount of product, whereas restoration cleaning of heavily ingrained or weathered surfaces will naturally consume more.
As the cleaner is a free flowing liquid with a density of approximately 0.90g/ml, it spreads readily on the cloth and goes a long way when applied sparingly. In general, professional users will quickly develop a feel for how much product is needed to wet the cloth without saturating it, achieving efficient coverage without unnecessary waste.
Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is designed to be fast evaporating, so treated surfaces normally dry within a short period under typical ambient conditions. At application temperatures between about 5°C and 25°C, the solvent flashes off quickly once the cleaning and polishing stages are complete, leaving a dry, non smear finish that is ready for normal use.
Drying will be faster in warm, well ventilated conditions and slightly slower in cooler or more humid environments. As the product has a flashpoint of less than 20°C, the rapid evaporation contributes both to its cleaning power and to its quick return to service.
Being a solvent mixture, this cleaner is not suitable for every surface. It is intended for hard PVC and similar compatible plastics and should not be used on acrylic glazing, polycarbonate sheets, painted or lacquered surfaces, rubber gaskets, or delicate decorative films without prior testing. Prolonged or aggressive rubbing on soft or unknown plastics can lead to softening, gloss changes or surface damage, especially on older or UV degraded materials. It is not designed as a graffiti remover or for the removal of fully cured sealants, heavy construction adhesives or paints.
The product must not be diluted, mixed with other cleaners or transferred into unlabelled containers. Do not apply on hot surfaces, near open flames or in confined, unventilated spaces due to its high flammability and low flashpoint. Avoid use on interior surfaces where solvent odour cannot be adequately dispersed. It is not a disinfectant and does not provide long term protective coatings; its purpose is cleaning and cosmetic restoration only.
Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is based on a carefully selected solvent mixture supplied as a clear fluid with a density of around 0.90g/ml. It is ready to use straight from the container and is intended for professional and competent DIY users who understand the handling requirements of flammable solvent based products. The recommended application temperature range is between 5°C and 25°C, which ensures controlled evaporation and good cleaning performance.
Always store the product upright in its original, tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well ventilated place away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep out of reach of children at all times. Empty containers should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations for solvent based products and must not be pierced or burned, even when empty.
When used as directed, Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner offers an effective way to clean and rejuvenate PVCu frames and other compatible plastics, supporting a professional appearance on both new and existing installations.

It quickly removes ingrained dirt, general grime, greasy deposits, light uncured sealant smears and common site marks such as pencil and pen, without scratching the surface. The cleaner flashes off rapidly to leave a non smear, glossy finish, helping PVCu look bright and freshly installed. It is suitable for both new installations and refurbishment work where a high quality, presentable appearance is required.
A) Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is ideal for use on PVCu windows and doors in homes, apartments, commercial buildings and public premises, both during installation and for routine maintenance. It can be used on frames, sashes, sills, trims, fascia and soffit boards, cladding panels and many other rigid plastic components. The cleaner is also useful for refreshing compatible plastic garden furniture and exterior panels that have dulled due to weathering. It is particularly valuable for final handover cleaning on new build and refurbishment projects where installers want to leave a crisp, professional looking finish.
A) Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is primarily intended for hard PVCu profiles, including smooth white frames and foiled or veneered PVCu finishes used in modern window and door systems. It can also be suitable for many other rigid plastics used in cladding, fascia boards, soffits and garden furniture. Because formulations vary between manufacturers, it is always best to test the cleaner first on a small, inconspicuous area, especially on coloured, foiled or patterned surfaces. If, after drying, there is no softening, dulling or colour change, the product can normally be used safely on the remainder of the surface.
A) To use Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner, first remove loose dust and grit with a soft brush or dry cloth. Apply a small amount of cleaner to a clean, soft, colourfast cloth rather than directly onto the frame. Work on a manageable area, wiping in one direction with firm but controlled pressure to dissolve dirt and marks. Allow the solvent a brief dwell time, then polish off immediately with a second clean, dry cloth to lift contamination and leave a clear, shiny finish. Change cloths regularly so you are not dragging dissolved dirt back over clean sections.
A) Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is formulated to tackle contamination that ordinary detergent based cleaners struggle with. Used correctly, it will usually remove light uncured sealant smears, surface pencil and many pen marks, as well as ingrained atmospheric grime and greasy deposits on PVCu frames and trims. For stubborn areas, it can help to reapply a small amount to the cloth and work the area gently for a little longer, always finishing with a clean dry cloth. It is not intended to strip fully cured sealants, heavy paints or thick layers of construction adhesive, which generally require different methods.
A) Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is a non abrasive, non scouring liquid and will not scratch PVCu when used as directed with a soft, clean cloth. Unlike cream cleansers or mildly abrasive powders, it does not rely on mechanical abrasion to shift dirt, but instead uses solvent action to soften and lift contamination. The key is to remove loose grit first so that hard particles are not dragged across the surface during cleaning. When applied properly, the cleaner helps preserve the original gloss and texture of the PVCu, rather than dulling it with fine scratches.
A) Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is generally suitable for many foiled and veneered PVCu profiles, but care is essential because decorative films and print layers can vary significantly. The recommended approach is always to test on a small, hidden section first, using a lightly wetted cloth and allowing the area to dry fully before inspection. If there is no softening, lifting, dulling or colour change, you can proceed to the rest of the frame using the same gentle method. Avoid prolonged soaking, heavy rubbing or repeated aggressive passes on delicate decorative films, especially older or weathered ones.
A) Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is a highly flammable solvent based product with a low flashpoint, so it must be kept away from naked flames, sparks, cigarettes, hot surfaces and operating gas appliances. Always work in a well ventilated area and avoid breathing vapours for extended periods. Wear suitable solvent resistant gloves and safety glasses to prevent prolonged skin contact and eye splashes. If contact occurs, wash skin with soap and water and rinse eyes thoroughly with clean water, seeking medical advice if irritation persists. Keep children and pets away from the work area and always read the label and safety data sheet before use.
A) Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is not suitable for every material. It should not be used on acrylic glazing, polycarbonate sheets, many painted or lacquered surfaces, rubber gaskets, soft sealants not being spot cleaned, or sensitive decorative coatings without prior testing. Prolonged contact on unknown or aged plastics can cause softening, crazing or gloss changes, particularly if they have already suffered UV damage. It is not designed as a graffiti remover or for stripping fully cured sealants, adhesives or paints. If in doubt, carry out a discreet test or seek advice before using the cleaner on unfamiliar substrates.
A) Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner is fast evaporating and normally dries within minutes under typical conditions between about 5°C and 25°C. Once you have wiped the surface with the cleaner and then polished off with a dry cloth, the solvent flashes off quickly, leaving a dry, non smear finish ready for normal use. In a well ventilated space, windows and doors can usually be operated almost immediately after cleaning. Drying may be slightly slower in cooler or very humid conditions, so if in doubt, wait a short time before the final inspection to ensure any residual solvent has fully evaporated.
A) There is no fixed interval for using Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner, as frequency depends on local conditions, pollution levels and exposure. Many property owners find that a thorough clean once or twice a year keeps PVCu frames looking bright, with occasional extra cleaning in areas prone to traffic film, sea salt or heavy soiling. The cleaner is intended for periodic, targeted cleaning rather than everyday wipe downs. For light routine maintenance, a mild detergent and water may be sufficient, reserving the solvent frame cleaner for more stubborn marks, refurbishment work and pre handover cleaning on new installations.
A) Soudal Premium PVCu Solvent Frame Cleaner should be stored in its original, tightly closed container, upright in a cool, dry, well ventilated place away from heat sources, direct sunlight, sparks and open flames. The product is flammable and should never be exposed to temperatures that might cause pressure build up or leakage. Do not decant it into unlabelled bottles or food containers. Always keep it out of reach of children and pets. When transporting, ensure the cap is secure and the container is protected from damage. Empty containers and residues should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations for solvent based products.
