As above really? They seem to be a magnet for fluff and dust which sits in the panels of the doors. I normally use a damp cloth but was wondering what other people use?
TIA

A dry duster on the doors and then I get a washing up bowl of boiling water with about two caps of bio washing liquid or powder,
don the rubber gloves and do all the skirting boards and doors (if they need it)with it. With two kids and three cats they usually do (sticky fingers and mouse blood splatters eeyuck .

Hot soapy water then polish up a bit with an old tea towel to get rid of any drips. I think you can do something clever with fabric softener? to stop dust sticking but can't remember!

Thank you for the advice. LoobyLou when using the bio liquid do you then rinse it off? Does it not leave a sticky residue?

Hi - no it's well diluted in the boiling water.
