Caring for bathroom products

AquaElegance products are designed for long use. Proper, regular care will keep their flawless look, deep shine and velvety smoothness for many years.

Tips by type of material

Sanitary acrylic

Freestanding bathtubs, acrylic shower trays

•Clean with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild washing-up liquid
•Avoid abrasive products, scouring pads and cleaning powders
•After a bath, rinse with water and dry: this stops limescale from building up
•Once a month, use a limescale remover made for acrylic
•Polish out scratches with an acrylic polishing paste, available in DIY shops

Composite stone (Solid Surface)

Basins, worktops, composite shower trays

•Rinse with water every day and wipe dry with a soft cloth
•For cleaning, use mild products based on citric acid
•Avoid contact with strong alkalis (bleach, ammonia)
•Fine scratches can be removed with fine-grit sandpaper (400 grit or finer)
•Do not place hot objects directly on the surface

Taps and showers: chrome and gold

Basin, bath and shower taps

•After each use, wipe dry with a soft microfibre cloth
•Remove limescale with vinegar or a tap cleaner, never with a scraper
•Avoid products containing chlorine and acids (they damage the electroplated coating)
•Clean gold finishes only with water and a mild soap
•Unscrew and clean the aerators (strainers) every 6 months

Ceramics

Ceramic basins and bathroom ceramics

•Clean regularly with a cream cleaner for ceramics or a special ceramic gel
•Avoid abrasive products: they scratch the glaze and make it easier for dirt to settle
•Remove hard-water marks with a product containing citric acid
•Do not use metal tools or scouring pads for cleaning
•Polish dulled surfaces with a ceramic polish containing wax

Glass (enclosures, screens)

Shower enclosures, glass panels

•After each shower, rinse with cold water and wipe with a glass squeegee
•For cleaning, use window cleaner or diluted vinegar
•Do not use abrasive products or metal squeegees
•Remove limescale marks with a limescale remover
•Every 3 months, apply a water-repellent product (e.g. Rain Repellent) to make cleaning easier

Stainless steel and drains

Linear drains, frames, accessories

•Clean in the direction of the grain with a microfibre cloth dampened with water
•To remove limescale, use products made for stainless steel
•Avoid products with chlorine: they cause pitting corrosion
•Once a month, clear the drain strainer of residue and deposits
•Polishing with mineral oil restores the shine and protects against new deposits
