Summer wooden door maintenance tips

First, avoid hanging heavy items on the door panels or placing sharp objects near them. Be gentle when opening or closing the door to prevent unnecessary stress on the frame and hinges. Always use proper force to avoid damaging the structure over time.

Second, never touch the door lock with wet hands or spray corrosive chemicals directly onto the wood or lock mechanism. This can cause rust, discoloration, or even structural damage. When handling the door lock, be careful not to apply too much pressure. If any hardware like hinges or latches becomes loose, tighten them immediately. If the lock isn't functioning smoothly, you can apply a small amount of graphite powder or a suitable lubricant into the keyhole to improve its performance.

Third, when cleaning the glass, make sure that cleaning agents or water don’t seep into the gaps between the glass and the frame. This can cause the rubber gasket to deform or degrade. Avoid using excessive force when wiping the glass, as this might lead to cracks or scratches. In case the glass is damaged, always seek professional help for repairs to ensure safety and quality.

Fourth, for removing stains on the wooden door surface—such as fingerprints or smudges—use a soft cloth or a dry microfiber towel. Avoid using rough materials that may scratch the finish. For stubborn stains, a mild detergent, toothpaste, or a specialized furniture cleaner can be used. After cleaning, wipe off any residue immediately. Don’t rub the corners of the door repeatedly, as this can cause fading or wear on the edge treatments. To remove dust, a vacuum cleaner is more effective than a dry cloth, especially for hard-to-reach areas. Regular cleaning and dusting are essential to maintain the shine and longevity of your wooden doors. Applying a suitable wood polish occasionally can also help preserve the surface and enhance its appearance.
