How do you get the tracks for a sliding glass door clean?
My glass door doesn’t slide very easily and my mom says its because it’s dirty – which it is. It’s disgusting. It’s right next to carpeting, which makes it a bit of a hassle to clean, because I don’t want to ruin the carpet on accident. I am willing to get the carpet soaked if need be, but it’ll take me a while to dry afterwords so I prefer to avoid it if possible

First, vacuum the track. Next, take a toothbrush (a small one or one that fits the track) and “sweep” it. Then vacuum again. After, wet a cloth (you can wrap it around the toothbrush) and run it along the track, repeating until it is clean. To make your door slide easier and repel dirt, coat the track with paste wax. Vacuum this track regularly when you do your carpet.

take a good hard toothbrush with ammonia to it, or a good vaccum cleeaner with lots of suction, or an air hose, then clean out rel good, then spray the bottom of of tracks with Telfon spray, it will help the next time you clean plus it will make the door slide easier

I HAVE HAD SUCESS WITH BRILLO PADS—-AND A LITTLE ELBOW GREASE—-WHEN YOU ARE DONE SPRAY A LITTLE WD-40 ON THE TRACKS

I can suggest this, If you add a small amount of olive oil to the tracks the door will slide easier, Then use cotton buds to clean the tracks from dirt

The Fuller company make a great tool for this problem.
You can use it with their bath and tile cleaner.
