The Humidity Factor: Wooden Doors
In Singapore’s humid climate, wood often expands. If your door sticks, sand the rubbing area lightly and seal with varnish to prevent moisture absorption.
Sliding Door Tracks
Tracks for balconies and wardrobes are dust magnets. Clean them regularly with a vacuum. Use silicone spray for lubrication—avoid oil as it attracts grit.
Lock Mechanisms
Lubricate locks annually with graphite powder. Avoid standard WD-40 in keyholes as it creates a sticky residue that jams pins over time.
