Enhancing the Look of Your Front Door

It’s ironic how we tend to use the back door or the kitchen door more than the actual front entrance. Because of this odd habit, we actually tend to neglect the state of our front door and forget to spruce it up now and then. When a friendly neighbor arrives, they might be the one to point out how your front entrance needs some working. If you’re looking for some tips on how to enhance the look of your home’s front door entrance, we’ve got some helpful tips for you. Elevate your home’s curb appeal through these simple and DIY hacks.

Enhance the Look of Your Front Door

First Step: Clean, Clean, Clean

Before you begin to revamp the look of your front entrance with decor, you might want to clean what’s already there. Yes, this will require some hard work and time but all your effort will definitely pay off in the end. Get your cleaning tools out and start polishing the front door. The front entrance is always exposed to all the elements and tends to take a lot of hits. With a little hard work, though, you can reverse the damage that’s been done.

#1: Wash all windows

Any windows near and around your front entrance will need to be washed thoroughly for the ultimate fresh effect. You can use plain water and commercial glass cleaners for this. You’re also going to require microfiber cloth and perhaps a wiper if the window is large. If you’re unsure of how to clean your windows, don’t hesitate to call a reliable cleaning company like Dashing Maids.

#2: Polish those steps

That short stairway that leads to your home’s front entrance has probably accrued dust and dirt over time. If you haven’t been paying attention to it, the steps are probably a hub of dirt and mud. Make sure you remove all kinds of grime and debris from the steps because that’s the first place any guest will lay eyes upon before actually approaching the front door. You might also want to clean the steps on a regular basis. We suggest setting up a cleaning schedule so that you’re always reminded of wiping and washing the stairway on a frequent basis.

#3: Wipe away the dust from the Welcome Mat

If you intend to keep your old welcome mat, it’s important that you wipe it off and remove all the dust and mud before placing it back. If it is made up of a washable material, you’d want to wash it first to get a fresh look out of it. But if your welcome mat is pretty worn out and old, you might want to consider investing in a new one to replace it.

Final Touches with Front Door Decor

There are multiple ways to make your front door look more inviting and aesthetic. Perhaps one of the most commonly employed ways is to add some seasonal décor to the front door. This could be a wreath that you can hang on the entrance. Go one step further and customize your wreath according to the holiday or season for a renewed effect of your home’s front entrance.

Alternatively, you could spruce up the look of your home’s front door by hanging some greens or flowers according to the season.

As you can see from this article, a good majority of enhancing the look of your front door relies on cleaning. When you’ve probably deep cleaned the entrance, everything will feel fresh automatically even if you don’t invest in decor.

Customer Testimonials

I was extremely pleased with Ashley’s team and they left my house extra-sparkling, making me look good for my in-laws’ visit. All traces of puppy fur and hard-to-remove gunk removed, and the house smelled clean, like lavender (not harsh chemicals). This is thorough, professional, fairly priced, and courteous service. All the stars!”

Stacey P.

“We are very pleased with the service we received with Dashing Maids. Their communication and customer service is superb! Ashley is professional and has great attention to detail. She took the time to take notes on all the areas in our house that I wanted to have cleaned during our first walk through, which I really appreciated. In the past, I’ve done walk throughs with other cleaning companies, explained what I wanted cleaned, they nod “yes” and then didn’t follow through. When Dashing Maids came to clean on our scheduled date, they were very efficient. Everything looked great when they were finished and I’m looking forward to having Dashing Maids return on a regular basis.”

Kara S.

“I have never had a cleaning service, but considered it often. Dashing Maids put a flyer on my door which intrigued me enough to call them. I was impressed with their initiative and enthusiasm that I hired them after our initial meeting. Now every other week I get to come home to a wonderfully clean house with their charming additions that make me smile. I’m not sure they are trying to turn my “black thumb” into a greenish one, but I haven’t killed the lucky bamboo they left as a surprise yet. I’d fully endorse them as a cleaning, Dashing Maids service.”

Maggie B.

“It’s so nice to come home to a sparkling clean house! I’ve worked with other cleaning companies in the past and Dashing Maids always provides a more thorough clean than I’ve found with other companies for a very reasonable price. Plus, they’re great with my dog and don’t mind that he’s at home when they come to clean. I highly recommend Dashing Maids!”

Miriam T.

“There is no one that cleans our house as well as Katie does! She is meticulous and genuinely loves to clean, and it absolutely shows. We love it when it is our cleaning day. I could not be happier with the services provided by her and the Dashing Maids company. They are responsive, timely, and have overall been a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable cleaning company.”
