How to Clean Dye from a Vinyl Window Frame

Table of Contents:
  1. You Will Need
  2. Steps to Remove the Stain
  3. Additional Tips and Advice

Lynette asked: How do I clean a vinyl window frame? I had a candle in the window. I had not placed anything under the candle. The green color from the candle is now on the window frame, and I can’t get it out. What can I use?


Vinyl window frames are largely maintenance free, but they’re not immune to stubborn stains. When you need more oomph than a simple soap and water clean can provide, many vinyl window manufacturers agree on this simple process which should be effective for removing inks and dyes.

You Will Need:

  • Fantastik
  • Washcloth
  • Water

Steps to Remove the Stain:

  1. Spray Fantastik directly on the stain.
  2. Wait several moments.
  3. Scrub with a washcloth.
  4. Repeat as needed.
  5. Rinse by wiping with a damp washcloth.

Additional Tips and Advice

  • If Fantastik doesn’t work, you can try WD-40, Soft Scrub, Bar Keepers Friend, or mineral spirits. If you use mineral spirits, be sure to rinse immediately and thoroughly to prevent damage to the vinyl.

I'm a stay-at-home mom who used to run a small housecleaning business. These days I consider myself more or a mad cleaning-scientist. I do most of the testing for our articles - as well as helping Mark & Melanie write them.
