How to Clean Steel Doors

Steel doors are quickly gaining in popularity due to their durability. They are available in several styles and designs and can be easily painted to match the decor in your home. They are also much easier to clean and maintain than wooden doors.

1. Pull the door open so you will have full access to all sides.


2. Place door stoppers on both the back and front sides of the door to keep it from moving while you are cleaning.


3. Place a step ladder in front of the door so you can reach the top of the door.


4. Put on a pair of rubber gloves before you start the cleaning process.


5. Climb up the ladder and use a dust cloth to clean the top ledge of the door. You can use a damp cloth if it requires further cleaning.


6. Get off the ladder and dip a clean sponge in a bucket of clean water and then spray it with an all-purpose cleaner.


7. Use the sponge to scrub the door starting at the top of the door and working your way down. You will need to stop after every couple of strokes to rinse the dirt from the sponge and add some more cleaner. 


8. Clean the back side of the door the same way once you have completely cleaned the front.


9. Use a clean sponge dipped in clean water to rinse the cleaner off the door.


10. Spray glass cleaner on the windows and use a soft cloth to wipe it off.


11. Use a clean towel to buff the door dry.
