How do you clean and care for a wooden front door?
It is a living material that needs regular and appropriate protection. Treat your entrance door with care otherwise, the surface or the colour will suffer damage. The frequency of care depends on the colour and location of the door.
We recommend cleaning and protecting the surfaces at least twice a year. Clean them with a gentle, damp cloth and non-abrasive hardwood cleaners. If the surface becomes damaged, it is important to repair the damaged area immediately otherwise, there is a risk of water penetrating any hardwood, freezing in winter and the coating peeling off.
External influences can cause damage to the colour. Clean the surface, which must be dry and dust-free before oiling, with a damp cloth and oil it again. Oil the surface, wait 5 minutes until the oil is absorbed and then wipe off the excess oil with a cloth in the direction of the tree rings. Seek the advice of a professional to repair major damage. Minor damage such as scratches and small cracks can be repaired with a fine brush and water-soluble acrylic-based paint. Just like any composite or french doors, the bets cleaning touch deserves your interior doors or glazed front doors.
