Keep reading to learn more. Once you’ve read this article we’re confident you’ll have the tools you need to keep your door looking spotless. 

New Door

New Steel Doors, like the ones we sell at Conservation Construction of Dallas, don’t really need to be cleaned. That’s because of the way we manufacture the door with durafuse technology. This unique paint causes a stronger adhesion of the paint to the door. This means scuffs, scratches, and even dents are less likely to happen over the life of the door. You can always get a new front door today by contacting us directly. This means you won’t have to clean it for a long long time!  Even so, after years of use there are things you can do to keep the door looking brand new. 

Best Cleaning Strategy

Steel doors are among the most durable and require less maintenance than other materials. Learning how to clean front doors made of steel is relatively straightforward. Simply spray on a mild, non-abrasive all-purpose cleaner, and use a wet sponge to clean the door. You can also mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a spray bottle for a natural cleaning solution. After that, it’s just a whole lot of elbow-grease. This type of cleaning style will not damage the door in any way. 

Bottoms and Sides

Focus on the bottom and sides of the door as these are the most common areas for dirt and debris to accumulate. I know from personal experience the areas nearest to the handles are also very dirty for my own front door. The handles and near the handles are the most used and could also use a good scrub down. 

Handles

It’s always a good idea to use disinfectant spray on the front door handles. Handles on front doors are often overlooked, but they are used daily, and with this pandemic continuing it’s always a good idea to keep you and your guests safe by cleaning all the handles in your home, but especially your front door. I’ve even used a diluted alcohol spray to clean the door handle. Other disinfectant sprays work just fine on the door too.  There’s no need to buy new sprays just use whatever you have handy around the house!

Windows

If you have window glass inside your front door you can always use the same method to clean the glass. If you’d prefer that extra shine however, you can always use windex or another glass cleaner to get the sheen you’d like. Once you’ve cleaned the door from top to bottom it’ll look like a brand new Front Door.
