At the end of the year, it's the perfect time to refresh your home, starting with something often overlooked: your interior doors. While they may seem like a simple part of your home, they require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure they continue to function well and look great for years to come.
Interior doors are not just functional—they’re a key part of your home’s aesthetic. The door panels are the first thing people see, so keeping them clean and polished is essential. For daily cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth or a microfiber cloth. Avoid using rough materials that could scratch the surface. If there are stubborn stains, you can gently clean them with a neutral detergent or a furniture-specific cleaner, then dry the area immediately. Never rinse the door panel with water, as it can damage the material over time.
If your door panel is made of resin or metal, minor scratches can be treated with a small amount of toothpaste applied with a soft cloth. For wooden or painted panels, regular waxing helps maintain their shine and protect the surface. However, glass or resin panels don’t need waxing—just a gentle wipe with a damp cloth and some mild soap.
Don’t forget about the hardware. Handles, locks, hinges, and other components are crucial to the door’s performance. Stainless steel handles can be cleaned with a stainless steel brightener to restore their shine. Moving parts like hinges or rollers should be lubricated every six months with a few drops of oil to keep them smooth and prevent wear.
When a lock becomes stiff, you can try using graphite from a pencil lead (by scraping a little bit and blowing it into the keyhole). Graphite acts as a dry lubricant and won’t attract dust like oil would. Always avoid using oil-based lubricants in the lock mechanism.
Also, make sure to open and close the door gently, especially when using the handle. For safety, teach children not to swing on the door handle, as this can cause damage and even pose a risk of injury.
Taking care of your interior doors isn’t just about appearance—it’s about ensuring they remain functional and safe for your family. With a little effort at the end of the year, you can give your home a fresh, clean look and extend the life of your doors.
