Full Door Detailing
Interior and exterior doors are the most frequent touch-points in any architectural space, acting as magnets for biological residue, skin oils, and atmospheric particulates. While floors and countertops receive regular attention, doors often develop a "lifestyle film" - a tacky layer of organic compounds and fine dust that settles into recessed moldings and decorative panels. This buildup doesn't just dull the aesthetic clarity of your home; it serves as a primary vector for cross-contamination between rooms. Every time a door is engaged, the invisible grit resting on the top horizontal casing is disturbed, recirculating allergens directly into your breathing zone and onto your clean surfaces.
The technical failure of standard cleaning is the localized "smear effect" caused by improper chemistry and tools. When a generic cloth is used to wipe oily fingerprints from a door panel, it often merely redistributes the lipids, creating a hazy streak that becomes permanently visible under direct lighting. Furthermore, neglecting the jamb and hinge points allows metallic dust and lint to accumulate, which can eventually interfere with the smooth mechanical operation of the door. Without a moisture-controlled protocol, you risk damaging delicate wood finishes or causing factory paint to peel in high-friction areas around handles and locks.
Our protocol executes a total technical reset of every door component, beginning with Complete Frame Detailing. We perform a dry extraction of the top horizontal casing before moving into a manual wash of the vertical trim. We utilize specialized tools for Recessed Molding Detailing, ensuring that the sharp corners of decorative panels - areas where standard wiping cannot reach - are entirely cleared of compressed dust. This is followed by an intensive Jamb Sanitization, cleaning the interior area of the frame where the door closes to ensure a sterile seal and a pristine visual transition between spaces.
We conclude with Hardware Disinfection and Polish, restoring the luster of handles, deadbolts, and strike plates while neutralizing the accumulated biological load. Our team performs a methodical Hinge Dusting and targeted treatment for scuffs and oils on the lower sections of the door. This multi-layered process ensures that your home’s most-used transitions are both visually flawless and hygienically secure. Your time is far too valuable to spend your afternoon fighting with oily fingerprints and dusty moldings. Start managing the chaos. Calculate your cost for free on our website and book your crew.

Our Approach
- 1
Preparation and Floor Protection
The team identifies the target doors and ensures the flooring beneath the door swing is protected to capture any runoff or dislodged debris.
- 2
High-Edge Dusting
We begin at the very top of the door and the top ledge of the frame (casing). This is a primary reservoir for allergens that standard cleaning overlooks.
- 3
Top-to-Bottom Panel Wipe
Using a pH-neutral cleaning agent, we wipe both sides of the door. We follow the grain or the panel moldings to ensure every recessed edge is cleared of "ghosting" dust.
- 4
Hardware Sanitization
We apply a professional-grade disinfectant to the handles, locks, and strike plates. We focus on removing the biological oils that accumulate on these high-touch hubs.
- 5
Hinge and Pivot Detailing
Using specialized brushes, we remove the fine metallic dust and old lubricant residues from the hinges, preventing them from staining the surrounding frame.
- 6
Casing and Jamb Detailing
The entire vertical frame and the interior jamb (where the door rests when closed) are wiped down to remove fingerprints and scuff marks.
- 7
Bottom Rail Scuff Removal
We pay specific attention to the bottom of the door, where shoes often leave dark scuff marks during daily use.
- 8
Final Polish and Buff
All surfaces are buffed dry with high-density microfiber to ensure a streak-free finish and to restore the luster of the paint or wood stain.
- 9
Audit and Documentation
The team lead conducts a final check of the panels and hardware under high-intensity light. A photo report is captured to confirm the restored state.

Frequently Asked Questions
One item covers one complete door assembly: both sides of the door panel, the entire frame (casing), the jamb, the hardware, and the hinges.
In most cases, yes. Our cleaning agents are designed to emulsify the rubber and oils from shoe scuffs. If the scuff has physically scratched through the paint, the mark will be clean but may require a touch-up of paint.
Absolutely. We use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners. For high-end wood finishes, we use a "moisture-controlled" technique to ensure we clean the surface without saturating the grain.
Yes. This is a core part of our protocol. The top edge of the door is a significant dust trap that we address during the initial dusting phase.
Our Full Door Detailing includes the cleaning and streak-free buffing of any standard glass inserts or decorative "lites" within the door.
No. Our operational scope is strictly limited to technical sanitation and cleaning. Mechanical adjustments, lubrication of hinges, or tightening hardware are maintenance tasks that require a locksmith or handyman.
If a door is partially blocked by lightweight furniture (like a chair or a small side table), we will carefully move it using protective pads. We do not move oversized wardrobes or heavy beds.
For high-traffic areas or homes with pets and children, we recommend a full detailing every 3 to 6 months to prevent oil buildup from permanently staining the paint.
