QuestionHow do I clean the tracks of an aluminum sliding door?
Community AnswerVacuum the crud out first, then use a non-scratching Scotch-Brite pad to remove as much of the dirt as you can. Now apply a generous coat of paste wax. You may need to adjust your door rollers. Usually there is a small hole at the bottom on the end of your sliding door, look in the hole and determine the type of screwdriver you will need to adjust with (older doors used flat tip, new use #2 Phillips). If your roller is broken, parts are still available.
