In winter, the rubber of weather stripping can freeze; hence, it can\nbecome quite difficult to open the garage door. Clean and dry the weather\nstripping to avoid any such problems. If you find any cracks while cleaning it,\nreplace the weather stripping immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Make sure to clean and lubricate all\nthe moving parts.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your garage\ndoor is a moving machine.

Make sure to clean the door and rollers thoroughly and lubricate\nall the moving parts with machine oil. This will ensure that the garage door\nnever gets stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/katydoorsystemsblog.com\/winter-proof-your-garage-door\/\"><strong>\u201cWinter-Proof Your Garage Door!\u201d<\/strong><\/a><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"733\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/katydoorsystemsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/garage2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katydoorsystemsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/garage2.jpg 733w, https:\/\/katydoorsystemsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/garage2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katydoorsystemsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/garage2-676x449.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope the\nabove-listed tips will help you deep clean your doors.
