Clean your door regularly – this allows them to hold their appearance and prevent them succumbing to stains, scratches and even mould build-up, just wipe down your door regularly with a soft damp cloth. Cleaning the doors every month or two will clean off any dust and dirt particles – if they are left there to build up over time they may scratch the surface of the door, leaving it vulnerable to moisture damage which can lead to warping or mould build-up.
For the very best protection of new wooden doors every few years apply a new coat of high quality wood sealer. Outside elements – especially damaging UV rays will wear down the strength of your door coating, so apply a fresh coat every 3-5 years. Try and avoid your new doors getting scratched or knocked by anything heavy as it can affect not only the overall strength of the hinges and wood but may make the door vulnerable to moisture every time it is penetrated.
