Every bathroom requires regular cleaning and maintenance in order to get the most out of it. When treated with care, your Caroma bathroom products will last for years and years, so it’s important to pair the right cleaning regimen with the right material. Here’s how to preserve the appearance of your Caroma products with minimal effort.

Make sure you know which material your Caroma product is made from before cleaning it. For example:

1. Vitreous China: Using a soft cloth, clean this surface with a mild household detergent, or with warm water mixed with soap
2. Vitreous enamel: Regular cleaning – by using warm water with soap, mild detergent or ammonia solutions, followed by a rinsing with water – will take care of normal soiling. More stubborn stains may require repeated cleaning or the occasional use of a nylon scouring pad. However, it's important to avoid using abrasive cleaners on this material.
3. For toilet seats: The most effective approach is to use a soft cloth along with warm, soapy water to wipe down the seat. Again, be sure to avoid using abrasive cleaners as these can strip away the product's surface gloss.

Maintaining your solid-surface products is very simple and straightforward. For routine cleaning, you can get rid of most dirt and grime build-up by wiping it with a damp, soapy sponge or cloth, and then rinsing it.

To avoid damaging the basin, never use harsh chemicals like acetone, trielin or strong acids as these can stain the surface. Also, if you want to use essential oils in a bath make sure there is water in it already – never pour oils directly into an empty bath or basin.

When it comes to keeping your Caroma tapware and accessories clean, there are a few cleaning rules to abide by.

• Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can very easily scratch the surface. If your tapware or accessories remain dry during use, a soft cloth can be used to remove surface dust. Alternatively, wiping them down with warm, soapy water will be enough to keep the finish in excellent condition.
• Cleaning products that contain chlorides and halides (e.g. bromine, iodine, and fluorine) should be avoided, as well as disinfectants to clean stainless-steel parts and components. Similarly, hydrochloric acid should not be used for cleaning, as it can cause pitting and stress corrosion cracking.
• Avoid using wax-based furniture cream, as this can lead to a build-up of deposits that ruin the appearance of your Caroma products. When wiping, apply minimal pressure and wipe in only one direction. Finally, for coloured (e.g. gold, black) plated products, be sure to clean them carefully using a soft dry cloth or a soft cloth with warm, soapy water.

If the everyday cleaning tips provide here don’t easily remove the stains from your Caroma products, you can use a damp sponge or cloth along with a mild abrasive cream or paste cleanser.

Apply light pressure in wide, circular motions, then rinse the surface and wipe it lightly using a circular motion. Make sure to rinse the surface thoroughly.

With a little care and attention, it’s so easy to look after your Caroma bathroom products and get the most out of their long lives. For regular daily cleaning, you can eliminate the majority of dirt and grime that accumulates on bathroom surfaces by wiping it with a moist, soapy sponge or cloth, and then rinsing it off with water.
