When should you clean your garage door?
You might not be aware of this, but your garage door should be cleaned at least twice a year. If you live in a coastal region where your home faces more severe weather, it should be cleaned more often. As a rule of thumb, if you see a build-up of oil, visible dust, or dirt, your garage door should be cleaned.
What are some ways to clean a garage door?
You don’t need much to clean your garage door. A bucket of water, a hose, cloth, and soap are all you will need to clean your garage door. You’ll start by mixing the soap in the bucket of water. Then wet the door with the hose. Using the cloth, scrub the door gently with soap water. After you’ve scrubbed the door, rinse it off with the hose and then wipe it dry with a towel.
