Tips Of Cleaning Your Barn Door Hardware

If you’re reading this, then you’re probably a proud owner of a sliding barn door. And if you do indeed have a sliding barn door in your home, then you’re aware of just how amazing its space-saving, trend-setting style provides your overall home ambiance. But if you want to keep that beautiful aesthetic looking … well, beautiful – then you’ve got to maintain it.

First off, remember that your sliding barn door is just as fashionable as it is functional to your home, so keeping it looking and working well is important. Wood and metal aren’t difficult to clean, but like your furniture, they need upkeep from time to time.

1.Cleaning barn door pulls

Cleaning barn door pulls doesn’t have to be a difficult task. All-purpose cleaners like 409 can be used to remove any dirt, germs and grime. However, vinegar and a soft cloth can also be helpful here in case you have any specialty finishes on your pull that you don’t want to wear away.

If you have a leather barn door pull, using oil soap or even a product like Endust or Pledge won’t harm or degrade the leather. It will remove dust and give it a pleasant sheen.

How to clean old door hardware

In addition to maintaining the outward beauty of your barn door, you want to make sure it’s just as practical as it is pretty. That means ensuring that it slides and closes smoothly and effortlessly.

2.How to clean and polish metal barn door hardware

To clean and polish your metal hardware, slightly dampen a soft cloth with undiluted white vinegar and then wipe clean. This natural technique will keep your barn door hardware functioning like new and looking just as beautiful as the day you bought it. Whatever you do, don’t clean your hardware with mineral acids or harsh bleaches. And remember, any cleaner that is safe for glass is typically safe to use on stainless steel.
