Often overlooked - yet nonetheless collectors of dust, dirt and grime - your door handles and door frames are important stops in your housecleaning adventures. 

 

 

Things You'll Need:

All-purpose Cleaners

Brass Polishes

Feather Dusters

Several Soft Rags

Sponges

Oil Soaps

Sponges

 

Step 1

Wipe door frames and handles with a feather duster or soft rag to remove dust.

Step 2

Wipe the surface of a varnished wood door with a small amount of oil soap, using a soft rag. Be sure to wipe the door in the direction of the grain. Buff the door dry (again in the direction of the grain) with a clean dry rag.

Step 3

Apply all-purpose cleaner to painted doors with a sponge. Wipe the surface dry with a soft dry rag.

Step 4

Spray all-purpose cleaner onto a soft rag and gently rub the cleaner onto door handles. Wipe away excess cleaner with a dry rag.

Step 5

Apply a small amount of brass polish to brass handles and buff with a soft rag.

 

You may want to wear gloves when cleaning.

When cleaning door frames, pay special attention to the top of the door frame and any crevices in the wood, where dust and dirt may collect.

Read oil soap instructions before use.
