Washed windows against the background of yellowed window sills look dull and sad. Paint can give the effect of novelty, but you can’t paint plastic window sills.

This is how professionals who, by the nature of their work, have to regularly put in order what has become quite dilapidated, deal with this problem.

How to Clean Yellowed Plastic

The white plastic window sill fades under direct sunlight, absorbs moisture from flowerpots, and soot, dust and other unpleasant things settle on it.

Regular wet cleaning with dust removal will not help change the situation. Yellowness will have to be removed carefully.

You can use any household grease remover to clean the surface.

You need to apply it to a sponge or napkin, clean the window sill, and then quickly wipe off the product.

Window sill on the balcony

Both in the living room and on the balcony, a yellowed plastic window sill can be put in order only with the help of polish.

Folk remedies with soda and bleach will not be able to whiten plastic that has turned yellow due to sunlight.

You will have to remove the thin top layer of coating, which only a polishing agent can handle.
