How to clean your double and triple glazed windows

The quality and cleanliness of your double or triple glazed windows are one of the first things that visitors will notice about your home. Follow these simple steps to keep your windows gleaming all year round!

How to clean inside double glazed windows

 

Cleaning double glazed windows doesn’t have to be difficult. PVCu windows are a cost-effective option for your home, however they can discolour over time due to exposure to UV light, so we will first explore how to remove yellow stains from your uPVCwindow frames. 

 

How to clean double glazed window frames

  • Mix 1 cup vinegar to 4 cups hot water
  • Spray the uPVC with a spritzer bottle to make it look new.
  • Allow for a 10-minute resting period.
  • Wipe down the surface with a clean, dry towel.

Do not use bleach or a scouring pad to attempt to shift stubborn stains, as this will actually damage and scratch the frames. 

Regularly washing your window frames with a solution of warm soapy water, using a soft cloth, will help keep discolouration at bay for longer.  This is especially important if you have white window frames! 

 

Our rehau rio flush fit windows are a great option if you want to move away from high maintenance white frames. Our flush fit windows are available in a range of colours and may be customised with a variety of hardware options, including both contemporary and traditional styles, to suit your own preferences and taste in design.

 

How to clean inside and outside double-glazed windows 

When it comes to cleaning double or triple glazed window-panes, channel your inner window cleaner and use a squeegee to sweep from side to side and top to bottom. There are window cleaning solutions available which will give you that extra shine, but be careful not to get this solution onto the window frames. Only use soft cloths or kitchen roll on your windows to avoid scratching and damage.

Removing condensation from inside double-glazed windows 

Evaporation occurs when cold air comes into touch with a heated surface such as the inside of a windowpane. If you have an issue with condensation in your home, there are ways to prevent condensation from occurring, and ways to remove it when it does. 

Opening double or triple glazed windows will increase ventilation through the home and placing an extractor fan in the kitchen or bathroom will allow steam and heat to escape and increase air flow. A dehumidifier can also help to lower the amount of water in the air and prevent condensation from forming.

In the middle of winter, opening your windows might not be an option. A quick and easy short term solution to your condensation problems would be to use a hairdryer to remove the condensation build up around your windows. Consider leaving windows slightly open as the weather begins to warm up in order to maintain consistent airflow. This is a more long-term solution.

 

Triple glazed windows  very rarely show internal condensation so this could be a worthwhile investment if you have regular issues with condensation. 

 

 

Likewise, if you experience condensation in between your window panes, this could be due to a crack in your window seal and you should contact us to get your double glazing repaired.

Looking for inspiration for your own home improvement project? Here are some of our recent installations in Mickleton, including replacement windows, doors, conservatory upgrades and other home improvements. All products are professionally installed by our experienced team, helping our customers improve comfort, security and kerb appeal while adding value to their homes. New uPVC Casement Windows Installed in Mickleton This recent installation in Mickleton involved replacing ageing windows throughout the property, including 2 prominent bow windows to the front elevation. Our customers chose white uPVC casement windows with leaded glass detailing, maintaining a traditional appearance while benefiting from modern performance. Properties in Mickleton range from older village homes and period cottages to more modern family houses, and many feature bay or bow windows as an important architectural feature. When replacing windows in these properties, it is important to choose a design that complements the character of the home rather than dramatically altering its appearance. The new bow windows retain the attractive curved appearance of the original while providing improved thermal efficiency, security and ease of maintenance. The leaded glazing also helps preserve a traditional look that sits comfortably alongside the property's brickwork and surrounding homes.
Polycarbonate roof on refurbished conservatory
by Antony Hammond 9 June 2026
From Tired Brown Frames to a Bright New Living Space. This conservatory refurbishment was completed on the existing base, saving disruption while completely transforming the appearance and performance of the room. The original conservatory had dated brown frames and an ageing roof that had reached the end of its life. By replacing the windows, doors and roof structure, we've created a fresh, modern space that feels brighter, cleaner and far more inviting. For this project, the customer chose a new polycarbonate roof. While tiled conservatory roofs are a popular choice, they aren't always the right solution for every home. A polycarbonate roof allows plenty of natural light into both the conservatory and the adjoining room, helping to maintain that bright, airy feel that many people love about conservatories. Every refurbishment is different. Some customers want maximum light, others want a room that feels more like a traditional extension. That's why we take the time to understand how you'll use the space before recommending the best option.
