Aluminum cleaners that are sold at most auto stores and used on aluminum wheels also can be used on aluminum storm doors.
Things You Will Need
-
Put on rubber gloves and squirt two to three drops of dish detergent into a bucket of water. Swish with your gloved hand in the bucket to create suds.
-
Wash the aluminum door with a large sponge and the soapy water. Use a nylon brush on any hardened stains such as dead bugs. Do not use a steel wool pad on the aluminum because you may scratch the surface.
-
Rinse the storm door with clean water and the sponge. Make sure to remove all soap residue from the door.
-
Dry the aluminum storm door with clean, dry rags.
-
Apply an aluminum cleaner to the storm door. Spray or wipe the cleaner on with a clean soft cloth. Read the instructions on the aluminum cleaner on how much to use. The aluminum cleaner brings back the shine to the door's surface.
-
Wipe the aluminum storm doors weekly with a soft cloth to remove dust and grime that builds up and dulls the door's appearance.
