The picture on the left is the before.
This is actually my parents’ house. My doors are just darker and hide more dirt LOL. Now check out the after below.
Pretty amazing transformation right? I was super impressed. My mom almost wanted to get a new door, BUT I came to her rescue with some easy door cleaning hacks. I will also show you a great way to get streak-free windows and mirrors!
Here’s What You Will Need to Clean Doors & Walls
1. Fabric Softener
This makes everything smell so good, especially when you open and close the doors. I just added 2 tsp to a bucket of warm water. This is a more “natural” cleaning product, so that gives me peace of mind too.
2. Cleaning Gloves
This is a dirty job but someone has got to do it. This will save your hands and finger nails (trust me).
3. Scrub Daddy or a Good Scrub Brush
I highly recommend this brush. It is also really good for cleaning your sink, stove, oven, and bathtub.
This is also another great one! This was perfect for getting around the door trim. I have also used this in my bathtub and I love how flexible and bendable it is.

4. Cleaning Toothbrush
Pick a pack up from the dollar tree or use the old ones you get from the dentist.

5. Magic Eraser
These are a game changer and I always have a pack on hand. You will want these for any grime that the warm water and fabric softener did not pick up.
Note – Scrubbing the door first with the fabric softener and water cleans everything up and makes it smell amazing. This will also allow your magic erasers to last longer when you “pre-clean” with the awesome smelling solution.

6. Rubbing Alcohol
I use this at the end to clean the doorknobs. Let the alcohol dry completely so that it can kill any bacteria living on the surface. Just take a rag, saturate it in rubbing alcohol and go to town.
I also use this method to clean remote controls, light switches, and anything else that gets touched with great frequency.
7. E-Cloth
These are amazing when it comes to getting streak-free mirrors & windows. Since most doors leading to the outside have a window, it’s important to get these cleaned up too. All you need is water. Bye-bye chemical cleaners.
