We usually overlook the indoor doors in our homes and don't clean or take good care of them, so they may occasionally play tricks and go on strike. The longevity of product functionality and appearance depends on daily maintenance. The correct method can extend the effective life of the inner door. Let's pay attention to the inner door in our home. A little maintenance can have unexpected effects.  

Firstly, we will teach everyone how to clean the door panel

The door panel is related to the overall appearance of the interior door, and a clean and shiny door panel will make the interior door look lively and elegant.

For daily cleaning of door panels, soft and dry cotton cloth or silk can be used for wiping. Wiping with hard or hard (such as dusty) media may scratch the surface; If there are serious stains on the inner door panel, neutral cleaning agents or furniture specific cleaning agents can be used to clean the stains first, and then dry wipe. But never rinse with clean water.

If the door panel is made of resin or metal sheet, the slight scratches on its surface can be removed by repeatedly wiping with a soft cloth dipped in a small amount of toothpaste.

If the door panel is made of wood or baked paint board, regular waxing is an effective method to maintain a bright and shiny surface, while glass or resin board does not require waxing.

Next is how to clean the hardware

Hardware is the soul of the entire interior door, including handles, locks, hinges, etc. Although they are small in size, they play a significant role. The key to the service life of the inner door lies in the maintenance of the hardware.

Stainless steel handles and other stainless steel hardware can be wiped with a brightening agent to add brightness.

Moving parts such as hinges, hanging wheels, and casters may experience reduced performance due to dust adhesion during prolonged movement. Applying one or two drops of lubricating oil every six months can keep them smooth.

When the lock cylinder does not rotate flexibly enough, a small amount of black powder can be scraped off the pencil lead and gently blown into the lock hole. This is because the graphite component is a good solid lubricant. Never drip lubricating oil, as this will make it easier for dust to adhere.

Pay special attention to the direction of rotation and stretching of the handle, and avoid using excessive force. Especially educate children not to hang and sway on door handles, as it can be dangerous and may cause damage to the inner door.
