the right maintenance methods of wood doors

First, how to rub and clean surface of wood door leaf

The surface of wooden door leaf is related with the entire face of the door; clean, bright door leaf will give brightness to the door. The day-to-day cleaning of the door can be finished by soft, dry cotton cloth or silk. The use of hard media (for example, there are sticky dust) may scratch the surface of doors;if there is a serious stain in the panel of the door , you can use a neutral cleaner or furniture special cleaning agent, to clean up stains first and then rub it by dry cotton.

But do not use water to polish; if the wood door leaf is made of resins or sheet metal, to remove minor scratch of the surface, you rub it again and again by soft cotton attached with a small amount of toothpaste; if the door leaf is made of wooden or baking sheet, it's an effective way to keep door surface beautiful and bright by waxing on a regular basis, however, it's unnecessary to wax for glass-made or resin-made plate.

Second, how to clean hardware

Hardware is the soul of the whole door, including the handle, lock, hinges and so on. They take significant role though their size is small. The life of interior door lies in the maintenance of the hardware .

Stainless steel handles and other stainless steel hardward can be wipped by metal-cleaning agents, which will add brightness.

Moving parts, such as hinges, hanging round, castor, may have lower performance after long-time use because of the dust adhesion; then droping two drops of lubricating oil every six months can maintain its smoothness.

When lock cylinder is not flexible enough to rotate, you get a small amount of blace powder from pencil, and blow them into the lock key hole lightly. In fact, the graphite in the pencil is a good solid lubricant. But please don't use lubricating oil, for it will be easier to attach dust.

Special attention should be paid to the direction of handle rotating. Please don't use all your power to rotate the handles.In particular, it is necessary to educate children not to be hanging in the door handles dangling on, which will be dangerous and may damage the door leaf.
