The Most-Efficient Bathroom Cleaning Tips Especially for Your Stone Surfaces

How to keep your bathrooms fresh and sparkling: It's not that difficult to keep your bathrooms well cleaned with minimal effort. The first thing to keep in mind is that a true stone restoration specialist is the ideal person to advise you with effective stone care tips.

Stone Deep Clean

Stone Deep Clean is an alkaline deep cleaning product suitable for baths and showers. Highly recommended for heavily soiled and neglected areas. As it’s a strong cleaning agent, it easily breaks down soap scum build up and cleans ground-in dirt, grease and other organic materials. It can be applied on all natural stone (such as granite, limestone, slate, and travertine), man-made stones such as ceramic, porcelain, grout, quarry, Saltillo, terra-cotta, cement pavers, masonry surfaces, and glass surfaces.

How to use Stone Deep Clean:

• Take equal quantities of Stone Deep Clean liquid and water in a spray bottle. Around 9 sprays per wall will be sufficient.
• Before applying the mixture, wet the shower walls with water.
• Apply the cleaning mixture on the walls by spraying it on one wall at a time so the solution does not dry out.
• Use Scrub-a-dub special white nylon scourer to evenly spread the cleaner over the entire wall. Other pads are not to be used as they may scratch the natural stone surfaces.
• Glass panes and stone walls are to be cleaned starting from top to bottom, applying moderate pressure in circular motions.
• Wait for 3 to 5 minutes and then rinse the wall thoroughly with clean water.

If your bathroom wall is not looking fresh and sparkling by now, it means the soap scum or mould hasn’t been fully removed. A Stone Care Specialist may be called in who can remove the stubborn excess so that you’ll be able to clean it yourself next time onwards.

Stone Deep Clean is a neutral PH detergent cleaner and will not damage your natural stone surfaces. Because this is a stronger cleaner than the S-P cleaner, it may reduce the life of sealer applied on the natural stone surfaces if regularly used. It may be used once in a week in showers to reduce the build up of mould and soap scum and should be rinsed off thoroughly.  

Scrub-a-Dub White Scourer

Most scouring pads (such as the green scourers) will scratch the surface of natural stone and damage the glossy finish. Use a clean cotton mop or cloth instead. If scouring is necessary, use only ideal products like the Scrub-a-Dub white scourer. It’s a heavy duty non-abrasive pad used for deep cleaning which helps to lift dirt on rough surfaces and in between tiles without harsh scratching. It is used for removing stubborn soap scum from shower areas where a cotton mop or cloth will not be effective.

Scrub-a-dub Scourer has an easy grip handle and a textured base for effective attachment to the pad. One advantage of this product is that the pads can be replaced when worn or when a different cleaner and pad is required. It’s cost effective and safe as one handle can be used with a separate pad for each cleaner.
