Why This System
The direct manufacturer-installer model means Canadian Choice handles the full customer relationship from sale to installation. Their customers expect the same company to stand behind the product - this means defects, failed seals, and installation issues are more likely to be reported and addressed than with a dealer-sold product. Custom sizing in the replacement market means Canadian Choice windows are often fitted into openings left by older windows of different dimensions. The installation reveals - the area between the window frame and the wall opening - may be newly finished or may show previous installation marks. These areas accumulate debris and need attention in cleaning. As a multi-province operation, Canadian Choice uPVC is exposed to the full range of Canadian climate stress - from BC coastal conditions to Prairie winters to Ontario freeze-thaw. The cleaning protocol follows the climate zone of the property, not just the brand.

The Orloffs Protocol
This is how I clean Canadian Choice Windows & Doors windows. The tools and technique below come from 25 years of daily professional work on the glass. Every step has been tested on real installations and adapted specifically for Canadian Choice Windows & Doors systems.
Pro Tools
My daily tool list. This is what I carry to every job.
Pro Tips
- When taking on a new Canadian Choice client, ask where the windows were installed and when - this gives you the climate context and the approximate age of the unit, which shapes your protocol and expectations conversation with the client
- On replacement window installations, photograph the installation reveals and frame-to-wall junction at the first visit - this documents any pre-existing gaps, caulk failures, or debris accumulation before you are associated with it
What NOT To Do
- Do not apply a uniform protocol to Canadian Choice windows regardless of location - climate zone drives the protocol
- Do not use abrasive pads on uPVC frame surfaces
- Do not use solvent-based or citrus oil products on uPVC
- Do not neglect the frame-to-wall junction and installation reveals on replacement window installations

Frequently Asked Questions
Field Notes
“Canadian Choice clients bought directly from the manufacturer and often have a direct relationship with the brand. A professional cleaning service that flags failed seals, drainage issues, and hardware problems is a service layer that adds value these clients appreciate. Replacement windows fitted into older openings often have more complex sill and reveal geometry than new-build windows. Take time to clear debris from these areas - they are often overlooked and become staining points that affect the overall appearance of the clean.”
