How do you properly clean and care for door handles for interior doors?

Door handles are subjected to heavy wear and require regular cleaning and care. Here are some steps to implement this effectively:

CLEANING:

• For simple cleaning, a damp microfiber cloth is suitable. It removes dust and light dirt without damaging the surface.

• For more stubborn dirt, a mixture of warm water and neutral soap will help. Dip a cloth into the solution and wipe the handle. Avoid spraying the mixture directly onto the handle to prevent moisture from penetrating the inside of the door handle.

• Never use abrasive cleaning agents, as they could damage the surface of the handle.

CARE:

• Once the handle is clean and dry, a thin layer of car wax can be applied to protect the handle and preserve its shine. Let the wax soak in for a few minutes and then polish it with a clean cloth.

• As a precaution, you should test a small, inconspicuous area before using care products to ensure that no unwanted reactions occur.

• Treat door handles made from different materials (wood, metal, ceramic) according to their specific care requirements. If in doubt, contact a specialist or the manufacturer.
