How to Clean Tough Stains from a Bathtub?

/in /by


Nobody likes the thought of taking a soak in a dingy bathtub. With constant exposure to moisture, bacteria and mold can collect on the walls of your tub, creating a mess that’s both unsightly and unsanitary. Being diligent about keeping your bathtub clean is the best way to prevent dirt and gunk from getting out of hand, but sometimes you’ll have to bring out the big guns to chip away at heavy, set-in stains. Fortunately, this can usually be done with the aid of a few basic household products and a little elbow grease.


The longer you let the solution sit, the more effective it will be at lifting long-settled residue. Wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area when handling chemical cleaning solutions. Scrub out the stains gently. Use a soft sponge or microfiber towel to avoid leaving marks or scratches. Go over the stains using a gentle circular motion. When you’re finished, rinse away any remaining dirt and cleaning solution and let the tub dry completely.


If necessary, apply another burst of cleaning solution. Wipe and repeat until the stains come out of the enamel finish. Using anything more abrasive than a sponge to scrub enamel may wear down the finish.


Add enough water to produce a paste. Spray purified or ordinary tap water onto the cleaning powder. With the addition of moisture, the powder will take on a thick, foamy consistency. Rub this paste into the stains and give it about half an hour to take effect. You can also wet a clean sponge or washcloth and use it to rub in the cleaner until it thickens.


Another option is to wet the tub before you apply the cleanser. Spray the tub with the shower head or fill a cup with water and pour it around the inside of the tub. Be careful not to add an excessive amount of water. The cleaner won’t be as effective if it’s too thin.

How Removing Stains from a Porcelain Bathtub?

Pick up a canister of abrasive cleaning powder. For thick buildup on porcelain surfaces, you’ll need to use something a little more heavy-duty. Use a product like Comet or Ajax that comes in powdered form. The small particles will be able to penetrate deeper into stains that have set up on the surface of the tub to remove them.


Powdered cleansers contain chemicals known as surfactants which have mild abrasive properties. This makes them much more effective for addressing hardened, stuck-on residue. Apply abrasive cleansers sparingly. For most jobs, a single canister be enough for a single thorough cleaning.


Stick with natural alternatives. Alternately, tough stains like rust and hard water residue can be treated with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar. Blend the two ingredients together until they’re about the same consistency as cake frosting and spread them directly over the stains. After 10 minutes, buff the stains with a nylon brush or pumice stone until they’re erased completely.


Homemade concoctions like hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar will be preferable for those who are wary of the health and environmental effects of chemical cleaning products. Hydrogen peroxide will also help treat age-related discoloration and lighten the finish of the tub.


Sprinkle the cleaning powder around the stained tub. A moderate dusting should be enough to deal with most messes. The powder won’t stick to the surface of the porcelain on its own, but when combined with a liquid it will form a paste that can be spread directly over stains. Be sure to cover the bottom of the tub, where accumulated mold can become a slipping hazard.

How Cleaning a Bathtub with a Commercial Product?

Put on gloves. Some chemicals are harsh, so put on gloves to protect your skin. Clear the tub of debris. Hair and loose dirt will get in the way of your cleaning, so use the shower to wash them down the tub. Hair and debris may clog your bathtub drain, so you may want to remove most of it from your tub using a paper towel. Then, rinse your tub with your shower stream.

Choose a sponge and brush. Don’t pick a sponge that’s too abrasive, such as steel wool. Stick with a scrubbing sponge. Otherwise, you may take the finish off your tub. Additionally, it’s helpful to use a toothbrush or grout brush to get into the nooks and crannies, as well as around the faucets.

Magic Erasers or similar products can be perfect for acrylic bathtubs which scratch easily. Magic erasers are relatively inexpensive and can be bought from local hardware stores or supermarkets. All you need to do to use one is wet the eraser, scrub the tub, and rinse well afterwards.

Pick a cleaning product. You have many options available to you. Which one you choose depends on your preference. For instance, you could use Lysol Bathroom Cleaner, Clorox Clean-Up, or Scrubbing Bubbles.

Read the manufacturer’s instructions. Each cleaner is a little bit different. For it to be the most effective, you need to follow what the instructions say. For instance, you may need to spray or scrub a solution on and leave it for a period of time. Bathroom cleaners can be quite overpowering so make sure the room is well-ventilated and if necessary, leave the room for a time to prevent inhaling any dangerous fumes.

How much space is it enough for the bathroom?

/in /by

Bathroom function is most people choose room and decoration easily overlooked part, a suite should design several bathroom accessories, I am afraid the opinion is more difficult to unify. A room with a bathroom cabinet is absolutely genuine local tyrant. For most people, what kind of bathroom ideas is the most reasonable?

At present, the design of commercial housing, less than 90 square meters of small space more than a bathroom , 90-140 square meters of large and medium-space basically two bathroom,main bathroom +guest bathroom. Toilet mainly put three pieces of sanitary ware, that is, wash basin, toilet and bathtub or shower, so it should be more than 3 types. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for people to turn in the inside.

In the bathroom tiles setting, if it is a bathroom  with a bathtub, the net width of the toilet should not be less than 1.6 meters; if it is a shower toilet, the net width should not be less than 1.2 meters. However, is the bathroom adequate for these designs enough? It is still not enough.

According to the three room of 120 square meters, if two generations live, most of them are four families, and three generations are at least five. Look at what functions as a “qualified”  bathroom bathtub : hand washing basin, bathroom cabinet, toilet, shower room, laundry, make-up table, and storage box. A bathroom actually needs to bear so many functions. We have to do so many things in the bathroom.

Two bathroom can do so many things, in fact, it is not enough, or will “crash”. When more and more people realized this, housing decoration began to introduce the concept of “dry and wet separation”. After the dry and wet separation bathroom is renovated, the “dry area” is used for daily washing, storing and washing, and the “wet area” is used for bath shower and going to the toilet.

This design can make the bathroom meet the different needs of the two parties in the same period, and solve the problem of “crash” in the bathroom to a certain extent. Bath shower, wash basin, toilet, wash clothes are all in a large bathroom, but they can be used at the same time, do not interfere with each other, a bathroom can allow four people at the same time.

Apart from the design of bathroom area and functional area, its distribution is also very particular. The bathroom should be adjacent to the bedroom, and the door should not be right to the living room. If the bathroom is directly facing the living room, the front room should be set in the toilet, and the washing machine can be placed in the front room. And most importantly, the size of the bathroom should be consistent with the area standard of the whole building.

Precautions for the maintenance of the flower shower head

When most people are in the shower, they find that the longer the shower head is used, the smaller the water flow is, that is because the maintenance of the shower is not noticed and the shower head is blocked. The shower head is not installed for a long time, but it is blocked by the head. This may be caused by the poor quality of your shower head. But if your shower head has been installed for a long time, use long time, meet the shower head blockage, this is due to the long time water spray head, the impurities in the water will accumulate into the shower head, long time will cause the shower head blockage, belongs to the normal situation.

If it is due to the poor quality of the shower head, it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of shower head when choosing and choose a qualified shower head. In general, it is necessary to buy regular and large-scale commodity inspection, and can not greedy for small cheapest, choose the shower head of plastic and other products, and the shower head of copper should be selected to prevent the quality problems such as plugging and cracking in the shower head.

If it is caused by the long time use of the shower, we need to clean the shower head regularly in our daily life. Generally, we can use white vinegar to remove scale: Every three months to carry out a cleaning work, the shower head is dismantled, soaked in a basin with white vinegar, time is about 4-6 hours, then the spray head clean, installed back, in the water after the scale will be outflow, so that the cleaning of the scale, the elimination of fine bacteria effect.

Manual cleaning needs to remove the net cover of the flower spray, or remove the other scale from the scale and clean it with the brush before installing it back to its original place. Some flower shower head sprinklers will be equipped with some special dismantling tools at the time of purchase, so that they can be conveniently used by consumers. Some of the outflow of its outlet is used in the design of rubber particles, its touch is comfortable, soft, not fouling, but also very convenient to clean, as long as the fingers are used to light the particles will be able to clean the scale. This is the cleaning method chosen by using the characteristics of materials. It is a popular way of cleaning in the market. Many of the shower head are made up of special structures. They can be cleaned automatically when they are used. Flower shower head with cleaning needles, which do not need manual cleaning, can bring out the scale. It is very convenient.

Apart from paying attention to cleaning, we should also pay attention to the daily maintenance of its surface. When we need to use it, keep its surface clean, usually soft cloth, dip the flour to wipe its surface, rinse with clean water to keep its surface clean and prolong its service life. Regular cleaning, white vinegar can be used to soak and rinse the surface and interior of the shower head, and then use cotton cloth as the outlet of the shower head to clean it. This can not only reduce the impact of the scale on the spray, but also play the role of sterilization and disinfection.

For the surface of the shower head, it can be cleaned regularly with flour and rinsed with water, so that the surface of the shower head can be as bright as new. When cleaning the scale, remember not to use strong acid to clean it, otherwise it will easily damage the surface of the shower head. Do not disassemble and maintain the shower head itself, and prevent incorrect methods from damaging the appearance or internal structure of the shower head. The use of the daily use of the environment should not exceed 70 degrees, otherwise it is easy to reduce the life of the shower head, therefore, the installation of the spray should be far away from the electrical source.

Hydraulic friction device cleaning: 40 degree C hot water filled with bathtub, 2 grams per liter to add cleaners, start hydraulic massage for about 5 minutes, stop pump drainage, and fill up with cold water, start hydraulic massage for about 3 minutes, stop pump drainage and clean the bathtub. The surface of the cylinder is dirty. Wipe it with wet towel and neutral detergent. This process can be repeated three times, and it will be bright and clean. Do not use hard objects or blade to strike the surface of the bathtub. At the same time, cigarette butts or heat sources above 70 degrees C should not be allowed to touch the surface of the bathtub. Do not use rough surfaces and utensils, clean cylinder surfaces containing chemical solvents or particles. When backwater and nozzle are clogged with impurities such as hair, they can be screwed down.

Do not start the water pump in the bathtub without water. In hydraulic massage, avoid debris or other articles blocking the backwater outlet, causing too much water pump overload, causing the pump to overheat and burn up the pump.

Nowadays, the baths on the market are mainly acrylic, steel plate and cast iron, of which the sculpt of the Alex bathtub is rich, the heat preservation effect is good and it is easy to clean, but the hardness of its surface is low and the surface is easily scratched. Although the steel bathtub is smooth on the surface, it is not resistant to impact, so it is easy to be cracked. And cast iron bathtub is more heavy, in the process of handling is easy to be hit out of the crack, and no matter what the bathtub, after the use of a long time, there will be a variety of conditions. Because of the high cost of the bathtub, the sale value on the market is also high, so facing a series of problems, generally will not be replaced, but to carry out the bathtub maintenance.

The common faults of the bathtub include: the bathtub can not be flooded; the bathtub is leaking; the bathtub is not energized or the leakage switch is switched off. Can’t adjust the size of the bathtub massage water. The bathtub control panel cannot start. This is the most common fault of the bathtub.

If the crack is serious, it is suggested that the professional should be invited to repair it; for the small cracking, the adhesive of the corresponding bathtub material can be used to bond, of course, to choose the nontoxic and harmless adhesive to the human body.

The decoration must be known: the bathroom waterproof process and precautions

/in /by

The bathroom is the most humid place in the house. To prevent the seepage of the sanitary room wall and the ground is the problem we need to consider. BARANA brings detailed bathroom waterproof process and points for attention to show you. If there is any doubt about this, you must be sure to look at it carefully.

Brush the first waterproof coating: ensure that the construction site is clean and dry before construction. The waterproof coating should be covered with no omission. It is firmly combined with the base, without cracks, no bubbles and no shedding. The brush height is uniform and the thickness must meet the bathroom space requirements. Brush second times: pay attention to brush the first and second times waterproof paint need to have a certain time interval. After the first coating is dried, it can be carried out for second times. The specific time depends on the coating. The interval is too short, and the effect of waterproofing will be greatly reduced.

Protective coating for bathroom: to prevent the subsequent construction from damaging the waterproof layer, we need to lay a protective layer on the surface of the waterproof coating. The protective layer should be fully covered with waterproof layer. It is firmly combined with the base, no cracks, no bubbles and no shedding.
Bathroom closed water test: when the closed water test, the waterline at the highest point of the ground should not be lower than 2cm. Preservation for at least 24 hours. There is no leakage is observed. If there is leakage, it needs to be redone. This is very important and can not be ignored.

Bathroom treatment and cleaning at the grass-roots level, making leveling layer, bonding layer, detail additional layer, acrylic waterproof layer, water storage test, protective layer construction, and two water storage test.
Ensure that the bathroom floor is relatively stable: if you need to replace the floor tiles of the bathroom, after the original ceramic tiles are chipped away, First of all, we should use cement mortar to make the ground flat (especially the newly renovated house), and then do the waterproof treatment. Do this in that way can avoid leakage of waterproof coating due to uneven thickness or puncture of waterproofing membrane.

The joints should be brushed in place: the joints between the walls of the toilet and the ground and the joints between the upper and lower pipes and the ground are the most likely problems. Therefore, we must pay special attention to these parts. We must be careful in dealing with them. You can’t have the slightest carelessness in this bathroom space.
Wall processing is also very important: in order to achieve better waterproof effect, the general bathroom on the wall also should do about 30cm high waterproof treatment to prevent water accumulation to penetrate the wall. The wall adjacent to the bathtub is also higher than the height of the bathroom bathtub. The shower room is to reach the height of 180cm.

Waterproof test can not be omitted: after the waterproof construction is completed, all the sewers of the toilet should be blocked up for water injection test. After 24 hours of inspection, if there is no leakage on the walls and floors of the shower, the waterproof quality of the toilet is very good. On the other hand, we should find out the leakage and carry out maintenance. This step is especially important and can’t be ignored.
Keep the water flowing unobstructed: all the sewer pipes in the bathroom, including floor drain and sanitary pipes, must be kept unobstructed.
