Bathroom-Suites

Steel Baths

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.

Toilets and Basins

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.
