Closet Door Maintenance in Orange County
Complying with our closet door maintenance suggestions will ensure years of stress-free service from your closet doors. Proper care, cleaning, and usage of your closet doors are essential to their longevity. A little cleaning once a month will prevent a major cleaning project.
Essential Steps to Clean Closet Door Tracks & Wheels
Clean your closet door tracks and wheels every month to keep them clear of dirt and debris. Remove all loose dirt and debris from the tracks and wheels with canned air or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
After removing dirt from the tracks and wheels, use a soft, damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaning substance to wipe them down. Do not spray the cleaning substance directly onto the tracks and wheels. Spray the cleaning substance into the soft, damp cloth, then wipe the tracks and wheels down.
- Do not abrasively scrub the tracks as this will damage the powder coated, painted, or anodized surface instantly.
- Do not use oil, WD40, grease, petroleum, or oil-based sprays, as these will attract dirt or impair the proper operation of your closet doors.
Cleaning Aluminum or Steel Closet Doors: A Step-by-Step Guide
Aluminum frames and steel frames are either powder coated, painted, or anodized for a brilliant finish. Wipe down all frames with a soft, damp cloth and non-abrasive cleaning substance.
- Do not abrasively scrub the frame finish, as this will damage the surface instantly.
- Do not spray the cleaning substance directly onto the frame finish. Spray the cleaning substance into the soft, damp cloth and then softly wipe down the frame finish.
Best Practices for Cleaning Composite or Wood Closet Doors
Composite frames and wood frames can never be immersed in water. Frames and panels will warp upon absorbing moisture. Depending on your home’s humidity level, an occasional paint job and/or stain will help prolong the life of your composite and wood closet doors.
- Remove all loose dust from the frames and panels with a feather duster or vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
- Use the dry method to clean the frames and panels. After you have removed the dust from the frames and panels, simply use a non-abrasive soft cloth to wipe them down.
- Do not scrub the closet doors.

“Eight years ago this company did retractable screen doors for my double door entry. At the time, no other company could do it. Today the screens still look new and function perfectly! I love the openness they provide to my home. This week I had a retractable screen door installed in the bathroom. The door was installed inside the existing door and allows me to get excellent ventilation into the bathroom. I love it! I enthusiastically recommend this company!”- Lynda L.

Ryan, Tamra, Brooke, and Jason really know what takes to run a great family owned business that puts their customer's satisfaction first and foremost. Thanks for all your hard work guys!!”- Jennifer G.

“They did an awesome job installing 2 new mirrored closet doors, fixing 2 others and installing a roll-up shade. They are very professional and nice. We also had a retractable screen installed several months ago, which opens up our living room to the back patio and brings in fresh air. We have received so many compliments from our friends! I highly recommend them for great quality and service.”- Susan N.

“Classic Improvement Products always delivers quality! Never disappointed. I have used them twice, for shutters in my home. Once when I remodeled the back half of my home, and now finally, the front half! I love these shutters so much! They are so easy to clean, look fantastic, and I really like the privacy they give us. No open gaps like blinds. It does take a bit for production, but it is well worth it!”- Denise N.

“I cannot begin to say enough great things about this company. Haydee and Tamara have been so responsive, friendly, and informative throughout the process. We had two retractable screen doors installed on our new house and absolutely love them. The quality of the doors is amazing! Our doors are extra tall (about 8 feet tall) and the retractable screen doors work great on them (was a bit worried that the height would cause the doors to feel unstable but they are solid and working fantastically). Oscar installed our doors and he was very polite and professional. We are very impressed with the product and the customer service and we would highly recommend using this company.”- Paula L.
