When taking a bath, it is particularly comfortable to have a bathtub at home, and it can be particularly relaxing for an hour. If we install a bathtub at home, because the bottom of the bathtub will not be completely close to the ground or floor tiles, there is no gap, so we need to plug this seam, which can fix the bathtub and also play a waterproof effect. So how do we plug the gap between the bathtub and the floor?
First, how to plug the joint between the bathtub and the ground
If there is a gap between the bathtub and the floor tile, the sealant is not handled well, and the corresponding caulking treatment can be carried out according to the size of the gap. If the gap is small, you can directly glue. If the gap is large, the original sealant must be removed and resealed. When clean and dry, inject silica gel, and the rubber surface should be as smooth as possible. Finally, scrape off the excess silicone and wait for it to set completely.
The bathroom is damp. It is recommended to use silicone products with anti-mold properties when purchasing. It can also be filled with building materials, then sealed with silicone and smoothed out. White cement is usually used to fill the gaps, but this look is rough and you can try it if you don’t have high aesthetic requirements.
If there is a gap between the acrylic bath and the floor, you can fill it with sand and small stones. If the surface is uneven or the edge of the bathtub skirt is uneven, use glass glue to seal it.
Second, is there glue between the bathtub and the floor
It is recommended to glue, in addition to fixing the bathtub, it can also play a waterproof role, especially the independent bathtub. Under normal circumstances, the glass products in the home decoration need to be glued, so that the waterproof performance and performance of the product can be greatly improved.
When gluing, first measure the width of the gap between the glass and the ground or wall, then detect a width similar to the gap at the glue outlet, and finally apply the glue to the middle of the gap. In general, be careful not to spill the glue outside during the gluing process. At the same time, hygienic treatment should be carried out before gluing to prevent dust from sticking to the glue and affecting the beauty of the entire bathtub.
Third, the bathtub daily maintenance method
1. The daily cleaning of the bathtub can be cleaned with ordinary liquid detergent and soft cloth, but can not be cleaned with ketone or chlorine water. It is prohibited to use disinfectants containing formic acid and formaldehyde during disinfection.
2. Do not use hard objects or blades to scratch the bathtub surface, and do not allow cigarette butts or heat sources higher than 70°C to touch the bathtub surface.
3. Soak the cloth in vinegar for a while, then spread the cloth out and cover the stain on the bathtub for a day. Then you can wipe away the stain with a rag, especially stubborn stains.
4. Old newspaper can remove dirt from the tub, especially in hard-to-wipe areas.
