Tips to clean and maintain timber doors

Logan Edinburgh Joinery can install new windows and doors for you. A question that we are often asked from people looking to install custom made wooden windows or doors in Edinburgh is: what maintenance do those require?

Regular cleaning with a little warm, soapy water will prevent dirt, dust and other external contaminants from collecting to the surface and build up over time (which could cause scratches and damages to the finish).

Use a gentle cloth for cleaning. Always clean along the natural grain of the wood to prevent marks and streaks. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth, since any remaining moisture might slowly seep into the wood.

The hardware is just as crucial to the upkeep and cleaning of your timber door as the wood itself. Over time, dirt can accumulate on hinges, knobs, and locks. To maintain the parts operating properly, make it a practice to clean them and lubricate them appropriately every few months.

The above will make sure your custom built timber windows and doors will last for many years to come.
