With the continuous improvement of living standards, people will install a bathtub when they are decorating the bathroom. Therefore, we need to pay more attention to the installation, cleaning and maintenance of the bathtub after purchase. Today, I will introduce to you the precautions for the installation of the bathtub, as well as the cleaning and maintenance of the bathtub.
Precautions for bathtub installation
1. Check whether the level, front and back, and left and right positions of the bathtub are appropriate, check whether the drainage facilities are suitable, and install them firmly. During the installation process, anti-dirty, anti-bump, and anti-blocking facilities are adopted for the bathtub and sewage facilities, such as angle grinders and spot welders. Do not splash the sparks on the bathtub, otherwise it will cause damage to the glaze and affect the appearance of the bathtub.
2. The installation of the jacuzzi must be equipped with a grounding wire and a leakage protection switch. During installation, pay attention to connecting the electric plug and waterproofing around the pad to avoid leakage accidents. Before connecting the water pipe, do a power-on test of the motor to check whether its sound meets the requirements.
3. Before installing the bathtub with bracket, check whether the ground where the bathtub is placed is flat; after placing the bathtub in the reserved position, use a spirit level and adjust the support nuts until the bathtub is level.
4. Pay attention to the protection of the bathtub. In the process of bathtub installation and house decoration, soft materials can be used to cover the surface of the bathtub. Do not stand on the bathtub for construction, or place heavy objects on the edge of the bathtub to prevent damage to the bathtub. The bathtub can be used 24 hours after installation.
A bathtub is a plumbing fixture used for bathing or showering, usually in a domestic bathroom. In recent years, due to the gradual popularization of acrylic heated bathtubs, bathtubs of various shapes have begun to appear. The above method is suitable for the installation of bathtubs of various shapes.
Bathtub cleaning and maintenance
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Deal with pipeline blockage at any time and disinfect it on time
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, first close the drain valve, 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, block the basin or The overflow hole of the bathtub; then quickly suck up and down to 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.
4. 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. Use mild detergents (such as dishwashing liquid) instead of abrasive detergents. Acrylic bathtubs can also be cleaned with glass water. Cast iron bathtubs should be fully rinsed with clean water after 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.
