Front entrance - door, and frame - around 42 years old - how to clean
:D Hello
I am totally new to wood work, though some years ago I glued some pine from bunnings and made a small set of shelves.
This thread brings me to the front entrance door. I did last year, glue the door where it had started peal. I am yet to see how to remove the door hardware, which is a Dexter brand, and quite ornate in design. That would be more metal forum project.
I hope to keep the stain colour, as it matches the inside kitchen window frame, sadly the rest of the door and window frames have been painted. I believe the timber is meranti, which was common in the 80s. The colour of the stain also matches the vaulted timber ceilings.
I have tried warm soapy water it took some dirt off but, once dry it had that same appearance? maybe the timber stain has gone or patchy or mixed with dirt>
I hope the photos will provide an idea on what to do.
Thank you
Sam
entrance - indented in, so little light, so somewhat protected
