Just brought a house online. .. the windows inside are filthy, with some mildew and just total grossness. They're vinyl, newer and need to be cleaned up. Has anyone ever soaked vinyl windows in a tub or used a different method to get them clean? I'm kicking around a trip the the car wash..... thanks in advance for any ideas/ hacks! --174.234.xx.xxx |

Magic Eraser. Can you remove the sashes? Then car wash sounds perfect --99.203.xx.xx |

When installing vinyl windows, siding & trim we routinely use Spray Nine to clean off any dirt, grime & stains. Most of the time we just spray some on, let it set for a bit then wipe it off with a rag. Occasionally we'll need to use a purple scotch pad for the real tuff areas. Most of the lumber yards, siding / window dealers & big box stores around here carry it.
I'd be careful if you decide to try a car wash. The intense spray might force crud in between the gasket & the frame.
Instead of using a tub, a plastic kiddie pool would be my choice. You could do it outside & rinse with a hose. Also by doing it on site there is less chance of damaging the sash during transport.
If it's mostly mold & mildew you're dealing with, I've had good success with Wet & Forget. I've found it to be particularly good at removing that green slimy algae that forms on all kinds of siding & trim.

Thanks for the great ideas! I've read tsp can hurt the glass... probably gonna try Steve's method..great idea for the kiddo pool.... the build up is really gross, hair, a cig butt or 2, its disgusting... this is one of the few times, I'll want to do it better than anyone else will... it will probably require dis assembly of the locks and window parts to some extent...
Myob, looks like you blew past the r in the first word.... --174.234.xx.xxx |

Just be careful to not get water in any cracks / screw holes. Don't want it wet / growing stuff on the inside. --68.10.xxx.x |

I have a nylon brush on a metal rod that fits into my electric drill, not sure where I got it. Spray it down with your favorite cleaner and then put the drill/scrubber on it and then wipe it down. I've used it to remove paint from vinyl windows. --50.26.xx.xxx |
