The bathtub can always bring us physical and mental enjoyment. But if the bathtub is not properly maintained, it will not only shorten the service life of the bathtub, but also be detrimental to our health. So what should we pay attention to when maintaining the bathtub? Today, the editor will give you a few tips.
Bathtub maintenance 1. Gentle treatment of surface stains
You can use a discarded soft-bristled toothbrush dipped in bleach to scrub the surface, which can not only remove stains, but also eliminate mold. For stains that are difficult to wipe, you can use half a lemon dipped in salt to scrub, or you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to apply toothpaste with whitening function to scrub. Turpentine is also very useful at this time. For scale, the products used to clean the toilet on weekdays are very good. If you don’t like the pungent smell, you can also use lemon and white vinegar, which is a more natural method. Do not use detergents with fading properties, especially if the bathtub at home is colored. For mold and fungal disease-causing bacteria, rinse with bleach and peroxide and dry immediately.
Bathtub maintenance 2. Timely repair of scars
After the bathtub is installed, do not move it privately. If you need to move the location, you must contact a professional. Do not knock or hit the surface with hard objects, causing bruises or scratches. If the dark or scratched part of the acrylic bathtub needs to be repaired, it can be wiped vigorously with a clean rag mixed with a colorless automatic polishing solution, and then coated with a layer of colorless protective wax. Do not wax the foot landing area to prevent slipping.
Bathtub maintenance three, weekly cleaning
When cleaning the acrylic bathtub, use sponge or flannelette, do not use coarse cloth, scouring pad, do not use any cleaning agent containing granular objects, and it is best to avoid direct sunlight and contact with high-temperature cigarette butts. Mild cleaning agents (such as dishwashing liquid) can be used instead of abrasive cleaning agents.
Acrylic bathtubs can also be cleaned with glass water. Cast iron bathtubs should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water after each use and dried with a soft cloth. In case of stubborn stains, use a small amount of abrasive cleaner to clean. Clean the bottom non-slip surface with a soft nylon brush. Do not scrub with steel wool, wire brushes or abrasive sponges.
The jacuzzi system should be flushed more than twice a month. Adjust the nozzle clockwise to the fully closed position to prevent air leakage. Fill the bathtub with warm water to 2 inches above the highest nozzle, or leave the water in the bathtub after use. Add two tablespoons of low-foaming powdered automatic dish soap and a small amount of household bleach to the water. Turn the jacuzzi on for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn it off, drain the water, and rinse the tub surface with water. The bathtub is in a hot and humid state for a long time, and a lot of bacteria will grow. Sometimes after cleaning, the surface looks clean, but in fact there are still a lot of bacteria. It is recommended to wipe the surface of the bathtub with boiling water regularly, and do not use disinfectant water casually, because disinfectant water may not necessarily kill mold and fungi.
Bathtub maintenance 4. Deal with pipe blockage and disinfect
The pipes should be cleaned once or twice a week to remove the smell and prevent bacteria from growing. You can use products specially designed to clean the sewer, pour it into the sewer, and wash it after 5 minutes. Be careful not to use it in metal pipes. If the bathtub is blocked, you can close the drain valve first, and then put an appropriate amount of tap water in the bathtub; place a rubber suction device (for dredging the toilet) on the drain valve; while opening the drain valve, suffocate the basin or The overflow hole of the bathtub; then quickly suck up and down, suck out the dirt or hair, and clean it up in time. In the case of serious blockage, it can be repeated several times until it is cleared.
The bathtub is a relatively common bathroom product in our home life. Almost every household has a bathtub, but do you know what material the bathtub is made of? Is it cast iron, acrylic or solid wood? I will introduce you to the bathtub here. The material is good, I hope it can help everyone understand what material is good for the bathtub.
