Strange Facebook post

My wife has just sent me a screen shot from local Facebook group
I’ll quote exactly as it reads

‘Hi Has anyone in the area had there windows cleaned that has melted their UPVC windows happened to one of neighbours’

That’s how exactly how it’s written….

Something isn’t right here surly. My first thought was the damage must have already been there and they are blaming the window cleaner ??

What do we make of this ?


And no it’s definitely not me ?

Haha
What ever ‘melted their UPVC windows’ even means. Very weird I thought

@WombatPool Probably referring to a cleaning solvent that has reacted to and eaten into the plastic and softened it. Once the solvent evaporates, the plastic goes hard but looks like it's been melted. I expect this is some very old, cheap plastic frames they are referring to.

We had one customer who did this to their own window sills. Still have the customer, but they sold that house and bought another.

We don't offer a UPVC restore service, but I do have a bottle of some stuff recommended by a UPVC installer. If using this stuff, always check an inconspicuous spot to test any reaction before jumping in.
For the odd occasion we need a cleaner on the door, for example, we find The Pink Stuff or CIF adequate.

Probably used an acid and its burned into it or if they have had a roofer burn on felt near it leaves burn marks very easily. I have done it and I have saw it happen plenty of times.
