Cleaning of Memory Flex Vinyl Windows
Please remember vinyl is not glass. Extreme care must be taken when cleaning your vinyl windows. Do not use any harsh cleaners or detergents. It is imperative that formulas containing bleach or ammonia are NOT used. For best results, your windows need to be cool before washing. Make sure all dust and loose sand or grit has been removed from all areas of the frame. We recommend that you use our vinyl cleaner which has been specially formulated for your windows. We recommend using a microfibre type cloth as paper towel may scratch the vinyl. You may purchase this cleaner from your Dealer.
