If you have a sliding glass door in your home that’s getting old and perhaps is looking a little shabby, it may be time to do a little restoration work.
The first step to restoring an old patio door is to thoroughly clean the surface of the door. This is best done with a lukewarm detergent solution. Automotive car wash or a simple dish soap can be quite effective. If desired, the door frame can even be waxed once its clean. This will help to make the surface shine, and will also slow the buildup of more dirt thereafter.
The glass part of the door should be cleaned with a glass cleaner. If there is any substance sticking to the glass that the glass cleaner won’t remove, you can try using a solvent-based cleaner, or a straight edged razor may work well in scraping the substance off.
Finally, if the hardware is getting worn or the paint is chipped, it may be time to consider a replacement hardware set.
