A garage door sits low to the drive, so salt, grit and splash-back collect on the panels after a Wilmette winter or a stretch of wet weather. This is a short field note from Bear Power Wash in Wilmette, Illinois — not a service menu. Bear Power Wash offers house washing, soft washing, and power washing. The garage-door tips below are general maintenance, not a listed add-on.

## Before anyone rinses the door

- Sweep loose grit off the panels and the threshold so it is not pushed into the weather seal.
- Check the bottom seal and tracks; packed dirt there can streak the first time water hits the door.
- Work on a mild day, and keep overspray off nearby window wells, outlets, and door hardware.
- If the door is painted or has a film, start with a gentle rinse rather than a hard blast at close range.
