How to Whiten a Plastic Window Sill: The Cheapest of the Known Methods

The first time after installing PVC windows, apartment owners cannot stop rejoicing at the whiteness of their new window slopes and sills.

However, after just a few years, there is no trace left of the dazzling white color - it is replaced by a dirty yellow hue.

The situation only gets worse if the window sill is used as a stand for pots with live flowers – in addition to everything else, the plastic becomes covered with water stains and indelible circles left by the pots with plants.

Of course, you can fix the situation with the help of purchased household chemicals, but I can’t bring myself to call this method budget-friendly.

Instead of throwing money away (no, not down the drain, more like out the window), try using folk methods that will solve the problem just as well.

And most importantly, you will be able to save a lot without losing quality.

Let's not beat around the bush - to tidy up the window sill, you need to prepare a soap solution and thoroughly wash the surfaces that need cleaning.

After dust and other small debris have been removed, pour hydrogen peroxide onto the window sill and rub it thoroughly with a rag.

Leave the window sill to soak for 5-10 minutes, then wash off the peroxide. Fans of this method claim that the windows will be like new.
