Bath Care

CARING FOR YOUR BATH
 
Caring for your bath doesn’t have to feel like a chore. It just takes a few minutes after each use to rinse and wipe away any soapy residue. Cleaning on a regular basis prevents dirt and mould from becoming an issue, and keeps your bath looking like new.
  
CLEANING YOUR BATH
 
  • Rinse and clean immediately after use, whilst the bath is still warm. This will help to remove any insoluble soap, grease or dirt before it hardens or stains.
     
  • Clean the bath with warm, soapy water. A soft sponge or micro fibre cloth should be used to wipe away any excess residue or grime. Do not use wire brushes, steel wool & abrasive sponge pads.
      
  • Always rinse the bathtub thoroughly with fresh water after cleaning and wipe the surface leaving it completely dry after the process.
     
  • Abrasive powder cleaners and sponges may scratch the surface of your bath; avoid using these on your baths. Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface and avoid dripping taps.

  • It is important not to use acidic cleaners or sprays as this will affect the surface of the bath and may result in small brown particles building up on the enamel surface or staining.
     
  • Don't forget to regularly clean the drain to maintain consistent water outflow.
  • Nickel baths & basins should not be exposed to water (i.e. dripping taps) or damp clothes for a prolonger period of time as this can cause the water markings to the nickel plating. Ensure to thoroughly dry the surface of the bath and basins to avoid water damage.

 

CARING FOR YOUR COPPER BATH

Daily / weekly maintenance - It’s important to rinse the bath out with fresh water immediately after use to get rid of any traces of soap, shampoo and any other toiletries you may have used. After this, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to dry the bath. By doing this you’ll make sure that lingering water won’t leave any marks.

If you use bars of soap, don’t leave them on the edge of the bath, as the acid in them can cause tarnishing, especially citrus-scented soaps. It’s best to remove any jewellery before you bathe, as sharp edges can cause scratches on Copper.

Frequent maintenance - If you’ve chosen to maintain the showroom appearance of your bath, you can keep your Copper Bath tarnish-free by reapplying a suitable wax seal every four to six weeks.

If the wax has worn off and there are any blemishes present on the surface of the bath, you should clean the affected area with Autosol and re-apply the wax. One of the advantages of a Copper Bath is that if you have chosen to leave your bath to attain a patina, you can restore it to a showroom condition at any time by thoroughly cleaning it and reapplying a wax coating.
