Why This System
Philippine typhoon exposure is the defining window maintenance factor not shared by most of SE Asia. Wind-driven rain at typhoon intensities forces water into frame joints, weep holes, and glazing pockets in ways that standard monsoon rain does not. Post-typhoon inspection is a critical service. uPVC in Philippines tropical conditions faces the same UV stabiliser degradation risks as elsewhere in SE Asia - solvent-free, pH-neutral products are essential.
Step 1 of 2: Manufacturer Recommendations
Official Care Guidance
Source: ORLOFFS PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE - uPVC PROTOCOL FOR PHILIPPINE TROPICAL CONDITIONS
Glass
- pH-neutral, solvent-free solution. Squeegee top to bottom. Pre-rinse to remove salt and organic deposits.
uPVC Frames
- pH-neutral, solvent-free cleaner only. No solvents, no citrus oil, no abrasives.
- Rinse thoroughly. Check frame surface condition for UV-related pitting or discolouration.
Post-Typhoon Inspection
- Check all glass unit seals for wind-driven water ingress.
- Clear all weep holes and drainage channels.
- Check glazing bead seating - typhoon-force wind can dislodge glazing beads.
- Report any frame distortion, seal failure, or hardware damage.

The Orloffs Protocol
This is how I clean Golden Home uPVC 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 Golden Home uPVC systems.

Pro Tips
- In typhoon season (June to November in most of the Philippines), build a post-typhoon inspection option into your service agreements - it adds revenue and genuine client value
What NOT To Do
- Do not use solvent, citrus oil, or abrasive products on uPVC
- Do not ignore weep holes after typhoon events
- Do not miss post-typhoon glass seal inspection - water ingress from typhoons is not always immediately visible

Frequently Asked Questions
Field Notes
โPhilippine window cleaning businesses that offer a post-typhoon inspection service have a significant commercial advantage - the service need is acute, predictable, and most cleaners do not offer it as a specific product.โ
