What is an easy cleaner to remove dirt/oxidation from outside window frames/doors? My dad used SOS pads but it's a 10 year buildup since he's gone. Also how do I get a window sash unstuck withoout damaging paint or varnish? Fr. Nick

Might try a navel jelly for aluminum. If the stuck sash was painted closed, you will have to remove some of the paint. Try a utility knife with a brand new blade to cut it. A wax or silicon lubricant may help after that.
