Bathtub care & maintenance
MARBLE BATHTUBS
Cleaning:
Daily After Use:
Wipe down the bathtub with a soft, dry cloth to remove water and soap residue.
Weekly Cleaning:
Use a soft cloth and a mild, pH-neutral soap diluted in water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes.
Stubborn Stains:
For light stains, a damp cloth may suffice. For stubborn stains, consider a diluted, non-corrosive stone cleaner.
Deep Cleaning:
If necessary, use a specialized natural stone cleaner, following the product instructions carefully.
Prevention:
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning materials or cleaning pads.
Regularly seal your marble bathtub to protect it from staining and water damage. A professional can reseal if needed.
Clean up spills and stains as soon as possible, especially acidic substances like wine, coffee, or lemon juice.
Use a soap dish to prevent direct contact of soap with the marble, which can cause discoloration or damage.
CRYSTAL TUBS
Cleaning
Use mild, non - abrasive cleaners (such as liquid dish soap or specialized acrylic/crystal cleaners) and a soft sponge or microfiber cloth to wipe the surface.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water after cleaning to remove any cleaner residue.
For tough stains, soak a soft cloth in warm water with a small amount of mild cleaner and lay it on the stain for a few minutes before gently wiping.
Protection
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as they can scratch the crystal surface.
Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners (such as vinegar), which can damage the material.
Do not place heavy or sharp objects directly on the tub, as they may cause cracks or scratches.
Never leave wet towels or bath mats in the tub for extended periods, as this can lead to mold or mildew growth and potentially discolor the surface.
COPPER TUBS
Cleaning
Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth after each use.
Wash the copper bathtub with mild soap and water. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Apply a copper wax onto the surface every 15-20 days to maintain the original finish.
Protection
Avoid putting hot pans, rubber mats or sponges in the sink. It may cause discoloration.
Do not use copper or silver cleaners or any abrasive or harsh chemicals such as acid, bleach, etc.
If your home is located in a hard water area, the copper product must be dried after each use to prevent deposit buildup.
CAST IRON TUBS
Cleaning
A mild, non-abrasive cleanser is recommended to keep your tub in top form.
Opt for soft cloths, microfiber towels, or sponges instead of steel wool or abrasive scrubbers.
Rinse thoroughly and use a soft cloth to wipe the product dry after each use.
Rubbing lemon oil into the tub can help prevent soap scum buildup.
Protection
Do not use steel wool, wire brushes, or abrasive sponge pads. Use only nonscratch cleaning pads.
Be careful not to leave dirty dishes, coffee grounds, tea bags, or other staining material in contact with the glazed surface for extended periods of time.
Ensure the drain is clear to prevent standing water and soap scum buildup.
STAINLESS STEEL TUBS
Cleaning
Use mild dish soap or stainless steel cleaners with a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the surface.
For water spots, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately with a microfiber towel to prevent mineral buildup.
For stubborn grime, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply gently, then rinse and dry.
Protection
Avoid abrasive tools like steel wool, scouring pads, or harsh abrasives that can scratch the finish.
Do not use chlorine - based cleaners or bleach, as they may cause pitting or discoloration over time.
Never leave acidic substances (like vinegar, citrus juices) on the surface for extended periods, as they can corrode the steel.
Don’t drag heavy items across the tub, as this can scratch or dent the surface.
