Maintenance tips

Chrome surface bathroom fittings

 

Use cleaning agents that have no salt, phosphorous, or sulphuric acid.

Clean the fitting with a little soap and a moist cloth only, then simply rinse off with water and wipe dry.

Lime spots can be avoided by drying the fitting each time it is used. If lime deposits do occur, remove them with environment-friendly cleaning liquid.

Do not use any abrasive sponges or scouring agents for cleaning.

Glass

 

To clean glass, use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth (without microfibres). Do not steam-clean.

Cleaning and Care of Ceramic Surface

 

Allow the cleaning agent to soak in. Simply wet the affected areas with cleaning liquid (soaking a cloth with liquid where appropriate) and leave for a few hours.

Cleaning & Care of WC Seat and Cover/Urinal Cover

Clean the fitting, including the hinges, regularly with warm water and a mild detergent. Afterward rub dry.

Do not use any caustic or scouring agents.

Protect the fitting with a thin coating of colourless furniture polishing.

The fitting and hinges must not come into contact with WC cleansing agents.

When using WC-cleansing agent, please lift up the lid and the seat/cover for urinal and do not put them down again until the cleansing agent has been completely rinsed from the bowl/urinal, since the vapours from the cleanser may attack the surface of the fitting.

Whirlpools and Tubs:

Acrylic Surface cleaning

Clean the surface with a soft cloth and soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning liquids. More resistant stains can also be removed with warm water and a mild, liquid detergent or soap.

Bathroom furniture

 

Real wood is a living material. Variations in structure, grain, porosity and colour occur naturally and are characteristic of real wood. Wipe fronts with a damp chamois leather. Remove stubborn dirt with warm water and a drop of washing up liquid. Wipe dry with a soft cloth immediately. 

Apply furniture polish sparingly to a dry surface; never use on a wet surface, as the polish may turn white.

In bathroom furniture with high gloss fronts, stubborn dirt that cannot be removed with a cloth, use a small amount of non-abrasive car polish. This is only to be recommended occasionally, as continued use will impair the gloss finish.

In the case of glass fronts, use undiluted window cleaner and wipe with a soft, non-lint cloth if there is stubborn dirt.

Mirrors and mirror doors

 

Remove marks with a chamois leather that has been rinsed in hot water and wrung out well. Source: Pago Marketing
