How to clean Sliding Door or Window tracks

[@pugsvillepa]

Thank u! ❤️👍🏻Worked great! The only thing I did different was to put the peroxide in a spray bottle to dispense easier.

Its funny how people are quick to criticise someone elses video. Take a seat I say, where's your tutorial!!

[@rabbi7933]

Because it is bad advice, moron.

[@rlntri]

@@rabbi7933 why?

[@sharhondagarrett4245]

Right💯!

[@Waltonmx]

I spray W-D40 and let it sit for a couple of min then wipe it clean. Plus it will lubricate the pole at the bottom and makes the door glide better too.

[@jacoblynch9403]

michelle walton, KY Jelly works better

[@wildcaty68]

Never use WD-40 because it contains oil which never dries. After few weeks it will attract the dirt again and look blackish in color.

[@merrickonfire]

never use regular wd-40, dirt and dust sticks to it. you can use a silicone spray for it

[@DonnaAskins]

It's too bad so many comments are rude. Ignore them. You put a lot of time and thought into making this video, for free!, just so you could help people. And I will certainly give this method a try. Be encouraged :)

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

I love that this also kills all the germs and doesn’t have a gross smell like vinegar leaves behind! Thank you!! ♥

[@lovelygrtt]

You are welcome 🙏

[@jodyramirez4925]

Love the ingredients! No trip to the store! Baking soda is wonderful for so so many things. I would've felt even better about the video if the corners of the tracks were done too. No worries though, it's the OCD. Great Job Sister!

[@lovelygrtt]

Thank you 😊

[@avisemitchell258]

Cleaning door tracks is a good idea but as an alternative vinegar and baking soda are great, too

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

Smells bad though and fizzes

[@judithann1117]

This worked perfectly, and I didn't have anything left behind (previous commenter, Amelia, must of used too much soda). All other video's required products and trip to store. I can now open my door with a few fingers using products already in my home. Took about 20 minutes to do entire track, door open then closed. Note. I used wet rag to clean up excess dirt first. Thank you for video.

[@lovelygrtt]

judithann1117 Great ! thanks for the feedback.

[@pamelabaker2097]

flyhound97 Very nice of you to still find fault in anyway shape or form. Your nothing more than a ignorant trouble maker. Didn't anyone inform you. Ugly is no longer in season.

[@hoodieninja70]

Thank you for this. Other methods required a wire brush and a lot of scrubbing, which wasn't working for me. This got my track sparkling clean with much less effort. I did use a toothbrush for the tiny hard to reach spots.

[@paulkoller8104]

A lot of scrubbing? Seriously? How lazy can you be..........

[@frankjordan5548]

Paul Koller please don't judge. For me personally, I have multiple herniated discs in my back. Just doing something as simple as this can leave me in excruciating pain. I appreciate when I can accomplish something such as cleaning a window track with minimum effort.

[@beths4934]

Genius idea. I have used hydrogen peroxide to clean many things. Did not think to use it with B.S. on the door track. Excellent because the frame is white. Peroxide helps with white things and one never needs bleach. Nice! Thanks for the video ❣

How to fix a stiff window

[@amchthompson]

Sadly with the mood swings of mother nature where I live your method doesn't work for me. If I scrubbed with a dry wire brush first it might. Our weather goes from dry, windy, and dust flying everywhere to humid the next day. The dirt and dust gets really bad in the exterior tracks. I've used vinegar to soften it up but will try sprinkling baking soda first. I love the lifting power of the two combined. Hydrogen peroxide is great too.

[@mafia715]

You probably live in Europe and this is India where dirt is everywhere. otherwise, u don't need to put that level of efforts.

I use a hand or small car brush and warm soapy water and it gets this clean also. I would also suggest adding an oil to the track as the build up of the abrasive used may slow or cause an issue with the sliding. Thanks for the very easy and simple to follow video

[@karamelapple8007]

Oil is terrible you need silicone lube

[@bigblue4364]

A steam cleaner and a small shop vac is really effective for cleaning window sills. The steam gets into all the cracks and the shopvac picks up the dirt and water, use a brush to loosen the dirt if the track is particularly dirty. Highly recommend getting a good steam cleaner it's a very useful and flexible tool and you can use less chemicals if you use steam.

[@lovelygrtt]

Thank you 🙏

Thank you for posting. My Florida sliding glass door tracks due to traffic and rain causes this type of. Condition.

[@laughtoohard9655]

I just cleaned my sliding glass door tracks with ammonia, water, and a screw driver in the rag.. I think it works just as well.

[@Fishka5678]

The best is do it regularly. Vacuum and spray with cleaning stuff often.

[@judithroth4481]

after cleaning a good way to make your door slide smoothly is to take a candle and rub it over the tracks (top and bottom). Do this every 3 mints and your door will glide easily. do not use oils (like WD40) on tracks.

[@generalutuber]

Judith Roth why no wd40

[@judithroth4481]

It gets dirty and nasty and never evaporates. WD40 is mainly a rust desolver not a lubricant.

[@STEVEM730]

WD-40 is a dirt magnet, it works real good at first, but in the long run it attracts dirt.

[@srob5949]

Judith Roth .

[@dustycrophopper2743]

Judith Roth dirt will accumulate on the candle wax and jam it further. Never ever put candle wax in your sliding doors or windows

You gotta add oil for lubricating the slide door after cleaning! A tiny amount goes long way!! Or else it would be hard to slide door after too many times of cleaning!! BTW nice and simple video. When there are kids around its better not to use too many chemical products. Better to go with baking powder ,vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, lemon etc

[@lovelygrtt]

Great input! Thanks

[@kglovesjonas]

I Agree, soaking is too messy and can lead to mildew. Start by removing sliding window off the track to clear the WHOLE track , vacuumed loose dirt ( use dry brush to loosen hardened dirt). Wipe with damp cloth. Before reinstalling the window back in the track, vacuum the fussy trim at bottom on the outer frame, it collects lot of dirt.
