Don’t forget to clean your door this spring

With spring finally here, now is as good a time as any to give your garage a spring clean. Taking time to look after your garage will help to ensure it stays in good working order for the rest of the year as well as help keep any clutter under control. Here is what we recommend doing:

  1. Clean your garage door

The best way to clean your garage door is with warm water and detergent. Make sure to wipe the whole door down carefully inside and outside and look out for any signs or damage such as rust. If you do notice large areas of rust then it is important to get these dealt with straightaway so that they don’t spread any further.

  1. Wide down the runners

After cleaning your door, it’s also important to wipe the runners down to remove any debris or dirt which may have accumulated here. Keeping the runners clean will help the door to open and close smoothly. It is necessary to oil the tracks and open mechanism too.

  1. Check the weather seal

Whilst carrying out your spring clean, remember to pay attention to the weather seal at the bottom of the garage door. If you notice that this is cracked or missing in places, then this should be replaced. This is so that the garage remains well insulated as well as to ensure that dust cannot enter.
