Maintenance
Like any other part of your house, the bathroom can be made to look great and made to last long if it is taken care of regularity. To make your bathroom beautiful here are some invaluable tips.
Wash Basin:
- A mild detergent can be used to wash the basin at least once a day. After washing, the basin should be wiped out clearly to avoid water stains.
Closets:
- Cleanser like Harpic can be used to clear the closet with soft plastic brush, at least once a day.
- To avoid minute discoloring, after flushing the toilet give it a once over with the soft brush.
- Keep the toilet brush handy in a convenient stand nearby.
- In case of toilets and basins, if there has been no maintenance since long period of time, water deposits and discoloration can form on the surface of areas that get wet. In such cases, these stains/marks can be removed with the help of a solution of dilute hydrochloric acid.
- Clean with a soft cotton cloth and warm water with soap.
- Do not use thinner, day cleaning liquids or powder paste. Use a liquid cleaner at least twice a week.
- Use brasso or car rubbing compound and then polish with a cloth to remove fine scratches.
