Composite doors are an increasingly popular product for those looking to replace their doors, or purchase new ones altogether. Their popularity is largely down to the numerous benefits that they offer, such as their fantastic energy efficiency, low maintenance and strong resilience.
They are also available in a wide range of styles and colours and are able to be broadly customised. This can all help with significantly increasing the kerb appeal of a property. It is important, then, to keep these composite doors looking as fresh and appealing as possible. Here are some tips on how you can keep your composite door’s aesthetic qualities by keeping it clean.
A bucket of soapy water and a smooth, gentle cloth is all that you need to give your composite door a good initial clean. That will be enough to remove any sort of dirt that may have built up around the frame. The warm water and soft cloth combination can be used to clean the glass, door handle and anything else.
The general recommended timeframe between cleaning your composite door is around a month, but of course you can resume maintenance earlier if you need or want to.
It is a good idea to freshen up the soapy water and cloth each time you clean an area of your door. From the frame to the glass to the handle and any other elements of the door, ensure that you are regularly replacing your cleaning kit. Similarly, when drying each area of the door, make sure to use another new, soft yet dry cloth.
If you want to spruce up the exterior of your door even further, then you can use a standard glass cleaner to help finish off the cleaning process.
It is very important that you do not use any abrasive materials to clean your composite door, such as scouring pads or rough sponges. You will also need to avoid using any sort of harsh chemicals or solvents as these will likely cause the colour and finish of your door to be damaged.
While composite doors are considerably low maintenance, it is still important to ensure that the whole of the door is in as good condition as possible. It is a good idea to use an oil or lubricant on the other components of the door such as the locks, hinges and handles, as well as ensuring that any weather seals are secure.
