Does anyone know an easy way to clean wooden louvered bifold doors?

Hi. If anyone has a brighter idea than I, please respond! Lol

if you have the strength to lift them down and shower them off in your shower or out of doors I find it the easiest way. A light spray of gentle dishwashing detergent water a good rinse. But then drip dry and rehang in their tracks. If they are heavy...it won’t work for me.

A paint brush gets into all those small areas.

My mom always put a thin rag around a butter knife and the rag was wetted with whatever she used to condition her wood with. She had stained wood louvers on all her closet doors and they always looked fantastic.

Here is a suggestion from the Internet, which seems to be used by a number of folks. Check it out at the link below. Good luck!

My other suggestion then would be to place towels on the floor underneath them and spray them in place if need be. Still messy but manageabe. Here I s have a fuzzy synthetic cottony top toilet bowl cleaning wand which I use to reach and scrub windows and to push into crevices. A butter knife with a cloth could also be used to get between the slats. I find that my doors in the kitchen get that heavy oiled build up of grease over time and Blue Dawn dishwashing detergent is the best For removing it. I’ve not had it destroy wooD. Best wishes!

I use a big soft sponge, with warm water with Dawn liquid and vinegar. This cuts the grease, oil and steam stains from the wood, without peeling the paint, in most cases. I also put a large towel on the floor under where I am cleaning because the doors are going to be dripping wet. Then I hand dry the doors with another towel. If they need painting, I know I have a clean surface to work on. Please document with photos and narrative and post it on Hometalk.com. Best wishes ☺️
