How to Remove Wood Stains From Vinyl Window Frames

Vinyl window frames are sturdy and built to withstand various weather conditions for many years. But like any other part of your home's exterior, vinyl window frames can become marred or damaged. For example, you may accidentally get stain or paint on your window frame while you're going over your wood trim. Because vinyl can easily get scratched or discolored, you shouldn't use paint stripper or steel wall to remove wood stain from vinyl. Fortunately, an all-purpose cleaner combined with some elbow grease will do the job.
