Wood doors can add so much character and elegance to a home, but maintaining their beauty requires careful attention and the right techniques. In this video, we take you through the meticulous process of pressure washing a wood door using a soft gentle spray. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure you achieve the best results while preserving the door's finish:

1. *Initial Inspection:*
Begin with a thorough inspection of the wood door.
Discuss with the homeowner to gather information about the door's age and condition.

2. *Test Spot:*
Always perform a test spot on a small, inconspicuous area of the door.
This helps to gauge how the wood and finish will react to the cleaning process.

3. *Managing Expectations:*
Communicate with the homeowner about the potential outcomes.
Explain that applying a cleaner can sometimes dull the finish, and the door might need restaining in the near future.

4. *Protective Measures:*
Before starting, ensure that any locks, camera doorbells, and other hardware are taped or masked off to prevent water damage.
Be aware that doors can leak, so take necessary precautions to protect the interior.

5. *Cleaning Process:*
Apply our house wash detergent to the door.
Let the detergent sit for about a minute to break down dirt and grime.
Use a soft gentle spray to rinse off the detergent.

6. *Drying:*
Follow up with a leaf blower to remove excess water.
Use a rag to dry any remaining moisture on the door.

In this video, we talked with the homeowner first, and they agreed that sooner rather than later, the door would need to be restained. The cleaning made a huge difference, bringing back much of the door's original charm for now.
