How to Effectively Clean and Polish Your Wooden Doors
To maintain the finish of your custom wooden doors, regular cleaning is key. Gently wipe your doors with a soft cloth and mild cleaner to remove any buildup. Steer clear of harsh chemicals that could damage the protective layer. After cleaning, apply a quality wood polish or wax to restore its luster and protect it from external damage.
How to Care for Your Wooden Doors Throughout the Year
Temperature and humidity variations can cause custom wooden doors to warp or swell. Here's how to keep them in excellent shape through every season:
- Cold Months: Install weatherstripping to reduce cold air infiltration and minimize moisture exposure.
- Hot Months: In summer, use a dehumidifier to maintain optimal indoor humidity and avoid expansion of the wood.
- Autumn and Spring: Look for any damage such as peeling varnish or gaps and fix them quickly.
How to Fix Minor Scratches and Damage on Your Wooden Doors
Fixing small scratches or imperfections can usually be done on your own. Use a wood filler or crayon that blends with your door’s finish. For more noticeable damage, lightly sand the area and apply a matching stain and sealant. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs later.
