One of the main challenges in the design of wet spaces, especially in bathrooms, is to achieve maximum hygiene and safety for people, a point which gains more importance when we are dealing with high-traffic spaces.
Counting on materials that require easy maintenance, which offer us high health standards, will be crucial for bathroom safety.
In addition to this, proper cleaning of the bathroom will help to keep the equipment in good condition for longer, thus preventing premature deterioration
Tips for cleaning the bathroom
The first step before beginning with bathroom cleaning is to know the materials with which the equipment has been manufactured. The most widespread material in bathroom equipment is sanitary ceramic. State-of-the-art materials such as the shower trays with minerals or other resins are becoming more frequent. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the specific tips for certain materials.
In general terms, strong chemicals should be avoided, since they can contain harmful and irritant substances which can affect our health, as well as those substances which can cause an allergy which become dangerous if used improperly. As a rule, use proper ventilation during the cleaning, avoid mixing different products to prevent harmful reactions, and also keep the products closed tightly and in a safe place when not in use.
Choose non-aggressive products which comply with legal regulations regarding safety and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and conservation.
As an alternative, we find more respectful substances that also offer effective results: the use of water and neutral soap; even lemon juice for its anti-limescale action.
To make maintenance better and to prevent limescale and mineral build-up, rinsing off water and soap from the equipment afterwards is recommended.
The bathroom equipment design: in line with cleaning and maintenance
The design of the equipment itself can be the perfect partner in the process and preservation of cleaning. Having practicality and aesthetic maintenance as the highest priority, we develop products and solutions that provide maximum hygiene and cleaning.
