Stone is a low maintenance material, although thorough aftercare won't go unnoticed. Small steps aid in the prolonged beauty, including rinsing and drying of the surface, each time you use your bath, to ensure soap scum isn’t present. The level of cleaning required is dependent on the colour of your bath, with darker tones scratches can be more visible than a white bath. If scratches are present on your matte white freestanding stone bath, simply follow cleaning methods as usual, though instead of allowing your bath to dry you should ensure the surface is still damp before using a sponge scourer to lightly rub cream cleanser over the surface. By using straight lines and horizontal motions, the scratch should be invisible. However upon drying, always make sure the cleanser has perfectly blended with the rest of the white stone. If highly noticeable, repeat the steps over a larger area of the bath. For more information and in-depth steps on cleaning and care of your white stone bath, see our Clean and Care Videos.
HOW DO YOU CLEAN A COLOURED STONE BATH?
Cleaning methods for coloured stone baths differ to how you clean a white stone bath. Coloured stone such as black or charcoal require simple maintenance, they should be cleaned regularly, at least once per week, with warm, soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth. Coloured stone is more likely to discolour compared to lighter shades such as white. Avoid products that contain harsh chemicals and alcohol, including make-up, perfume, creams and hairspray, as these products can leave the surface looking dull and cause discolouration. If your stone product is not cared for regularly this may also result in discolouration.
HOW DO YOU PREVENT DAMAGE TO A STONE BATH?
Taking measures such as avoiding harsh chemicals near your bath will aid in quality protection, strong surface cleaners and paint remover can permanently damage the surface. Protection from heat appliances is also essential, such as hair straighteners or curling tongs. As well as keeping the surface free from razors and jewellery, as these could also cause scratches.
