Bathroom Suites – Helpful Hints on Cleaning
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009
Steel baths should be cleaned with a mild detergent solution or even just soapy water. After cleaning with soapy water or detergent they should be rinsed and polished with a soft cloth. Bleach and household chemicals can damage the gloss enamel surface of a steel bath; they should only ever be used when diluted.
Acrylic Baths and Shower Trays
Acrylic baths can be cleaned with a mild detergent solution or even just soapy water. You should try to rinse the bath with clean water after you have used it, it can then be polished with a soft cloth. Acrylic is a softer material than glazed bathroom pottery so abrasive cleaners will scratch the surface, taking the shine off. Chemicals such as clothing dyes, hair dyes, and nail varnish remover will all damage acrylic baths.
Resin Stone Shower Trays
The surface of stone shower tray should be cleaned with warm soapy water or mild detergent. It is preferable if you rinse the shower tray with clean water immediately after use, and then to polish it with a soft cloth.
You should clean bathroom pottery after each use, with a mild detergent solution or even just soapy water. After washing in soapy water, you should rinse it and polish it with a soft cloth, or towel. Cleaning the pottery in this way will help stop any limescale deposits and should stop the pottery becoming stained. Harsh bathroom cleaners can damage pottery surface glazing and other bathroom. We would advise you not to leave strong cleaners or bleach on bathroom pottery overnight as this can damage the glazing.
Toilet Seats
Toilet seats should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution or soapy water. Strong cleaning agents or scouring pads will damage the toilet seat.
Quadrant Shower Enclosures
Friday, March 27th, 2009Quadrant Shower Enclosures are an extremely flexible showering solution for most bathrooms.

Quadrant Enclosures (or cubicles) are available in a variety of styles and sizes, from the very compact 800mm standard quadrant, to the luxurious 1250mm Offset quadrant, which also includes useful shelves and an area for drying.
Currently the best selling size of quadrant enclosure is the 900mm x 900mm The Milano bathrooms version is especially popular as it is very high quality at a very reasonable price. This quadrant features 6mm toughened safety glass, which conforms to B.S. 2606A and a polished silver coloured frame. The doors can be unclipped from the bottom of the frame to allow for easier cleaning access. Overall it offers fantastic value for money.

Steel Baths
Saturday, March 21st, 2009Steel baths are a popular alternative to acrylic baths and both have their pros and cons.

Steel baths are available in a variety of styles and sizes, and can be supplied with or without grips. Sizes of steel baths include 1600x700mm, 1700x700mm and various sizes upto and including the larger size of 1800x800mm. (more…)
