Brown stains on window
« on: September 04, 2024, 06:02:33 pm »


Just moved into a new flat, got these brown stains on the kitchen window. They are flat with the surface of the window, like something has "dyed" the plastic. I've tried all the household cleaning stuff I have at home and nothing has touched it. Hoping someone here can give me a mirical cure?

And if that alone doesn't work, try a little white spirit on the wire wool. Not something id reccomend on customer's property unless you have their blessing and are absolved from any blame for damage but i have used it on one customers and do use it on mine to get rid of sellotape residue.

The pink stuff paste with a scouring pad will remove it.

Solvent cleaner like glazing companies use should remove it

I once over painted a garage door with stain and thought I will remove it once I'm finished. Found out the only thing that would remove it was petrol as I had my PW in van with spare fuel.
