Your door is not just like any of the furniture you have at home. It is your house’s initial protection from the outside. It is also an ally to your privacy. For this reason, your door must be given a little more credit and extra attention.

As doors are entry points to anywhere in your house, you might as well take time to inspect its hinges and locks. Old doors with rusty hinges and faulty locks are easy to break, thus making your home vulnerable from thieves and felons. If you recently purchased your house from another mortgage holder or another family who put it on sale, you might as well consider changing your door locks and knobs to be sure that only you have the keys to the house.

In cleaning your door, make sure that you pay attention to its frames especially the top as dusts and dirt may have been collected in that area. The use of a clean rag is better than using a feather duster. A soft rag is also useful in wiping away dirt from your door with soap and water. If your door has a glass inset, clean it with a glass cleaner both from the inside and out. For door knobs and handles, you can use an all-purpose cleaner. If the knob is made up of brass, you can use a brass cleaner and polish it.
