Your bathroom comes equipped with top-tier fixtures and surfaces. The protective coatings maintain their look and functionality. Here’s a guide to ensure they last.
General Care
- Run exhaust fans or open windows to remove moisture from the bathroom.
- Clean bathroom mirrors with an ammonia-free cleaner.
Shower and Tub
- Clean the shower with an ordinary dishwashing detergent unless hard water minerals have been deposited. If hard water minerals have been deposited, use a commercial glass cleaner. Never use steel wool or scouring pads on the metal portion of shower enclosures.
- Clean the bathtub with a foaming bath and tile cleaner to remove normal soil. Don’t use any type of abrasive on the bathtub.
- For fiberglass tubs and showers use a fiberglass cleaner found at most grocery stores.
Toilet
- Bathroom toilets are durable fixtures made of vitreous china, a clay that’s glazed for a smooth surface, which can become scratched if cleaned improperly.
- Pay special attention to the holes located under the bowl rim. If they aren’t cleaned regularly, they can become clogged and cause the toilet to malfunction.
- Only use toilet bowl cleaner on the inside of the toilet bowl.
- To clean the outside of the toilet, use a standard bathroom cleaner.
- If the toilet continues to run after flushing, inspect the flapper and valve float in the toilet tank, and replace if necessary.
- Safety Tip: Refrain from flushing grease, hair, lint, rubbish, diapers, or facial tissues.
Safety Note:
Condensation on the tank's exterior may appear like a leak but is a natural occurrence.
