Winter flat door waxing maintenance tips sharing

As winter approaches, the climate in the north becomes dry, and with the onset of cold, people have turned on thermal insulation modes, such as thermal clothing and pants, floor heating/natural gas/electric heating, and central air conditioning. This outdoor extreme cold and high indoor temperature are very unfriendly for wooden flat doors, which are prone to problems such as drying and cracking, which can cause unnecessary trouble for daily use.

Therefore, in this season, it is particularly important to do a good job in the protection and maintenance of flat doors to reduce or avoid cracking and peeling problems caused by environmental factors.

Below, Xiaopai recommends the commonly used waxing and maintenance techniques for flat doors:

Winter flat door waxing maintenance tips sharing

1. Waxing in sunny weather

Excessive ambient humidity and waxing on rainy days can cause cloudy and white conditions. When the indoor temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, the wax will harden. Before waxing, it is strictly prohibited to use a cloth with chemicals to wipe the flat door, as that may cause poor adhesion of the wax.

2. Eliminate flat door surfaces

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove waste and dust from the surface of the flat door. Wipe the dirt on the flat door with a neutralized detergent after the diluent. Dirt that cannot be removed can be wiped with Shina water. To prevent detergent from accumulating in the pipe trench, the cloth soaked in detergent should be dried as much as possible. Wax remover can cause stains and swelling on flat doors. Do not apply it.

3. Wipe with a dry cloth

Wiping shall be carried out with a dry cloth. The surface of the flat door, especially the part of the pipe trench, should be carefully wiped without residual detergent. Residual detergents and water can cause whitening and swelling of the surface

4. Adequate dryness

The water on the surface of the flat door and the pipe trench shall be thoroughly dried before waxing. Without sufficient dryness, wax will not easily adhere to the surface of the flat door, which is harmful to aesthetics and can cause whitening.

5. Waxing method

Before waxing, shake the utensils equipped with wax and stir them evenly. First, use them in inconspicuous places such as corners to ensure accuracy. To avoid contamination of the wall foundation lines and furniture by wax, cover the above locations with transparent tape, etc. Dip thoroughly with a clean cloth to avoid dripping wax.

Do not pour wax onto the flat door immediately, as it may cause stains and ring marks. Carefully wipe according to the wood texture orientation of the flat door, without missing or uneven thickness. Too little rubbing can lead to uneven depth, and too much rubbing can lead to poor film formation. Maintaining thickness and uniformity is important for waxing. Do not dilute liquid wax with tap water. The special waxing tool can be used as a special type mop for waxing, with simple practical operation and ideal practical effects.

6. Manic time control

Before drying the wax, please do not touch the flat door. Drying usually takes 20 minutes to 1 hour. If there is any holiday, it is necessary to carry out patching. If the method of twice waxing is selected and the second wiping is performed, it should be carried out after the first thorough drying. Waxing up and down every 6 months can always keep the flat door beautiful and elegant.
