[edit] Stone vanity tops cleaning and maintenance
The stone vanity centre piece in your bathroom can look its best for a long time, even with just daily wipe-downs. Hence, we've put up these handy cleaning tips to keep yours looking perfect.
[edit] Quartz
Quartz is a high-quality stone material that is great for bathroom vanities. Wipe the sink with bar soap and warm water solution as needed. Using a plastic knife, gently scrape away tough dirt.
[edit] Marble
Marble is a widely used countertop material due to its beautiful hues and regal appeal. It's also more convenient since keeping it clean is easy. Harsh and abrasive cleaners are discouraged since they can damage sensitive material if not washed immediately. It's best to remove loose dirt with a moist sponge or microfibre cloth.
[edit] Limestone
Its cost-effective ability to mimic Marble makes Limestone another popular material used on modern bathroom vanities. It would be best never to clean a limestone vanity with strong or acidic products. Use commercial cleaning solutions or hot water with mild liquid soap instead. Scouring pads and sponges should also be avoided for gentle cleaning since they can compromise the finish.
[edit] Wooden vanity cabinet cleaning and maintenance
A well-crafted wooden vanity cabinet will be a staple in your bathroom for a long time. Apart from regular cleaning, expect proper maintenance every now and then.
On your hardwood surface, never use harsh cleansers or brushes. Over time, this will weaken the wood, stripping its sealant and gradually permitting water spots and steam from your shower or bath to infiltrate and damage it.
It's inevitable to have scratches on a hardwood surface, particularly if you have kids at home. Mould growth is a serious concern in a bathroom; therefore, these issues must be addressed immediately. Clean the scratched area using the cleaning solution given above. Sand the area surrounding the scratch carefully as it will fade eventually. Lastly, apply wood stain once more, if necessary, to prevent scratches in the future.
[edit] Avoid risks with proper care and maintenance
Showers usually characterise steam and soapy residue, causing a prevalent buildup of mould. This can cause bathroom sinks, shower doors, countertops, and cabinetry materials to wear away, which is why regular care and maintenance are recommended. Failing to make your bathroom clean has harmful consequences. The accumulation of filth and grime, which could pose serious health risks, is only one of these.
Regular cleaning is one aspect of learning how to take good care of your bathroom vanity. As you've read from our tips above, it goes past everyday cleaning to maintain its overall sustainability.
