Experts teach you six tips on how to maintain wooden door products?

       When it comes to home gifts, there's no shortage of options. Some friends love giving door gifts. With the advent of doors made of a variety of materials, wooden doors have gradually become a staple of the home. However, maintaining wooden doors is much more challenging than doors made of other materials. Maintaining a wooden door is easier said than done. If improperly cared for, wooden doors are prone to being attacked by termites. So, how can we effectively maintain wooden doors in our daily lives? Today, experts from Guangzhou Gift Company will teach you six tips on how to maintain wooden doors.

       First, when removing stains from wooden doors, use a soft cotton cloth; using a hard cloth can easily scratch the surface. For heavy stains, use a neutral detergent, toothpaste, or a furniture-specific cleaner. After removing the stain, wipe dry (never rinse with water). Be careful not to leave a cloth soaked in neutral or wet detergent on the wooden door for extended periods of time, as this can damage the surface and cause discoloration or peeling of the finish. Avoid excessive rubbing on the edges and corners of the wooden door, as this can cause the paint to peel.

       Secondly, hinges and locks are movable parts. If they become loose, they should be tightened immediately. If the hinges make noises, they should be lubricated immediately. If the lock is not flexible when opening, add an appropriate amount of pencil lead to the keyhole. Do not add oil casually.

       Again, because wood shrinks when it dries and swells when it gets wet, slight cracking or shrinkage may occur when there are large differences in temperature and humidity. This is a normal natural phenomenon and there is no need to panic. This phenomenon will naturally disappear with seasonal changes.

       Finally, in order to maintain the glossy color of the wooden door, it should be waxed regularly for maintenance.

       Six common sense of wooden door maintenance:

       First, do not hang heavy objects on the door or avoid knocks or scratches with sharp objects. When opening or closing the door, do not use excessive force and do not hit the wooden door.

       Second, do not open the door lock with wet hands or splash corrosive solvents onto the wooden door or door lock. Avoid applying excessive force when opening the door lock or turning the door handle. Tighten frequently moving hardware such as hinges and door locks immediately if they become loose. If the door lock is difficult to open, add a suitable amount of lubricant such as pencil lead to the keyhole for lubrication.

       Third, when cleaning the glass, be sure not to allow detergent or water to seep into the gaps in the glass molding to prevent deformation. Avoid excessive force when cleaning the glass to avoid damaging the glass or yourself. If the glass is broken or significantly dented, always have it repaired by a professional.

       Fourth, to remove stains from wooden doors (such as fingerprints), wet the door with your breath and then wipe with a soft cloth. A hard cloth can easily scratch the surface. For heavy stains, use a neutral detergent, toothpaste, or a furniture-specific cleaner. After removing the stain, wipe it clean immediately. Avoid frequent rubbing of the corners of wooden doors, as this may cause discoloration and damage to the finishing material. When removing dust from wooden doors, vacuuming is recommended instead of using a soft cotton cloth. To maintain the surface gloss and longevity of the wooden door, it should be cleaned and dusted regularly. Use a curing solution specifically formulated for wood finishing products to maintain the surface.

       Fifth, in spring and winter, the room should be well ventilated to keep the wooden door in a normal temperature and humidity environment. This will prevent deformation of the wooden door due to humidity and temperature differences, corrosion of metal fittings, and shedding of edge banding and finishing materials. In winter, when using electric heaters or other heating equipment, keep them away from wooden doors to prevent them from being deformed by heat.

       Sixth, when painting the walls, cover the wooden doors to prevent the paint from peeling off and fading the wooden door finishing materials, affecting the overall appearance.

       It is easy to build an empire but difficult to keep it. The same is true for the maintenance of wooden doors. It is not difficult to choose a good wooden door. The difficulty lies in its daily maintenance. Small details and good habits are the best maintenance methods!
