Varnished floor doors should be cleaned using oil soap applied on a soft rag. Wipe the doors always in the direction of the wood grains and then clean it off with a soft rag to dry the floor surface.
Use brass cleaner to rub and clean the door knobs and handles. Follow all the manufacturers’ instructions while cleaning these brass fixtures.
