Cleaning upvc windows after tiling/grouting

[cam_low]

After seeing the lovely Jo from Devonsbrook in action with her craft knives cleaning every last morsel of dirt and grout from the frame I'm wonder what your tips and tricks are for finishing the job. I've got a few plastic scrapers i use however the bathroom I'm on at the moment was left by the previous attempt at tiling in and adhesive grout and plaster nightmare !

this picture kinda shows what I'm up against in two windows.

If they are upvc windows go to eurocell and get some cleaner window fitters use after they have installed em, i got some of a fitter works well

I always carry a bottle of this with me:

De.Solv.It Contractors Solvent 500ml | NoLinksToThis

Works great when you get the odd black mark on tile trim , cleans it up a treat.

theres a solvent but also a liquid paste that you rub on for heavy soil.

I use autosol with a microfibre cloth works great.
