Brilio.net - Doors are an important part of the house. Wooden materials are often the choice of many people for the basic material of their house doors. Apart from being sturdy, wooden doors are also durable.
There are many wooden door models that you can choose from. However, wooden doors must also be cared for properly . Clean regularly, of course. Because if not, dust and other dirt will harden on the surface of the wooden door. In fact, moss can grow quickly on wooden doors.
If the door is already dirty, you can scrub it with a special wood cleaning fluid. But if you don't want to buy a special cleaning fluid , you can clean wooden doors using other materials. The same thing was shown by Instagram user @mayunita11.
In the video upload, this netizen is seen mixing his own cleaning solution to remove scale and moss on his wooden door.
Curious about how?
A quick way to clean limescale and moss on wooden doors is just adding 1 kitchen ingredient.
The first step, pour the main cleaning ingredient, namely 1 packet of citrus, into a spray bottle. Then add the second cleaning agent, namely 1/2 packet of clothes cleaning fluid as a mixture.

Once done, the cleaning solution can be sprayed directly onto the entire surface of the wooden door. Once evenly distributed, just wipe the dry cloth onto the surface of the wooden door. In one swipe and without needing to scrub, the surface of the wooden door immediately shines again.
"You can see right away, once sprayed, the color immediately changes," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from Instagram @mayunita11 on Wednesday (22/5).

Do this process until the entire surface of the wooden door is perfectly clean. Don't forget to clean the other side of the door too. If it's as easy as this, are you interested in trying it?

How to open a stuck wooden door.
Opening a stuck wooden door can be a challenge, but there are several steps you can try to fix it. Here are some methods you can use:
1. Check the cause.
Before trying to open the door, find out the cause of the jam. Some common causes are:
- Moisture makes wood expand.
- Loose or damaged door hinges.
- Jammed key parts.
2. Use lubricant.
If the door is stuck due to a stiff hinge, use a lubricant such as WD-40 or another lubricating oil. Spray the lubricant onto the door hinges and move the door a few times to spread the lubricant.
3. Check and tighten the hinges.
Often, wooden doors get stuck due to loose hinges. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws on the door hinges. If the hinges are damaged, consider replacing them with new ones.
4. Sand the expanding part.
If the door expands due to moisture, use sandpaper to lightly sand down the jammed edge of the door. Focus on areas that are in direct contact with the door frame.
5. Adjust the door frame.
Check whether the door frame has shifted or is damaged. If necessary, adjust the frame by re-nailing or repairing the damaged part.
By following the steps above, you should be able to open a stuck wooden door without causing further damage.
