How to Maintain and Clean Your Hardware for Long Life

(A Jaipur Homeowner’s Guide by Shree Agarwal Fittings)

If you’re a proud homeowner in Jaipur, you know that buying quality hardware—like door locks, handles, knobs, bolts, and wardrobe fittings—is only half the job. To ensure long-lasting performance, shine, and security, you must maintain and clean your hardware regularly.

At Shree Agarwal Fittings, a trusted name among hardware shops in Jaipur, we don’t just supply premium hardware—we help you take care of it.

In this blog, we’ll show you how to keep your door locks, handles, knobs, and other hardware looking and working like new for years.

 


 

Why Hardware Maintenance Matters (Especially in Jaipur)

Jaipur’s climate—hot summers, dusty winds, occasional humidity—can take a toll on your hardware. You may notice:

Rust or corrosion on iron/steel locks
Dust buildup on knobs and handles
Loose or squeaky hinges
Faded polish on wardrobe handles or main door hardware

Whether your home is in New Aatish Market, Mansarovar, Vaishali Nagar, or any part of Jaipur—proper maintenance helps you:

 ✅ Extend product lifespan
✅ Maintain hygiene and appearance
✅ Avoid expensive repairs or replacements
✅ Keep doors, drawers, and wardrobes functioning smoothly

 Let’s break it down by hardware type.

 

1. How to Maintain & Clean Door Locks

 Common Problems:

Rust or jamming due to dust
Key not rotating smoothly
Fading polish or dull finish


Cleaning Tips:

Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water. Wipe gently and dry with a microfiber cloth.

Polishing: For brass locks, use a brass cleaner or homemade lemon + baking soda mix.

Lubrication: Use graphite powder or silicone-based lubricants inside keyholes—avoid using oils like WD-40 as they may attract dust.

Avoid:

Harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners

Excessive force while turning keys

Tip from Jaipur’s Trusted Hardware Shop:

Regularly clean locks during seasonal changes (summer to monsoon) to prevent moisture damage.

 


 

2. Cleaning & Caring for Door Handles

Your main door handles, wardrobe handles, and cabinet pulls are touched multiple times a day—they collect oils, dirt, and bacteria. Daily Care:

Wipe with a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and dust.

Use diluted dish soap for deeper cleaning.

Disinfect with a vinegar-water spray (50:50) once a week.

 Maintenance Tips:

Tighten loose screws.

Check for alignment and handle wobble.

Polish wooden or brass handles monthly.

Don’t Use:

Abrasive scrubbers or hard steel wool

Alcohol-based cleaners on colored coatings

Jaipur Insight:

In dusty areas like Sanganer or Ajmer Road, clean hardware more frequently—every 3–4 days.

 


 

 3. Drawer Knobs & Wardrobe Handles

Drawer knobs and wardrobe handles often get ignored—but with proper care, they can enhance your furniture’s life and look.

Easy Steps:

Dust off with a dry cloth every few days.

For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild cleaner.

Spray polish (for metal/wood knobs) once a month for shine.


✔️ Bonus Tip:

Apply a layer of clear furniture polish to prevent tarnish and buildup.

 


 

 4. Furniture Fitting Hardware

Hidden hardware like slides, hinges, and catches also need attention.

 Maintenance Musts:

Clean with a dry cloth monthly.

Use machine oil or grease to lubricate drawer channels and hinges.

Check for alignment or wear & tear—replace if any part feels loose or creaky.

✅ Ask Shree Agarwal Fittings Jaipur team for spare parts or replacement fittings.

 


 

 5. Seasonal Care Tips for Jaipur Homes

 Summer (Dry & Dusty):

Wipe hardware twice a week.

Use protective polish on exposed handles.

Clean locks with dry cotton buds.

Monsoon (Humidity):

Use moisture-absorbing sachets near metallic hardware.

Check for rust spots—clean immediately with rust remover.

Winter:

Lubricate locks and hinges to prevent stiffness.

Polish all hardware before Diwali for shine and longevity.
